Dealing with a mental illness isn’t easy but, whatever your circumstances, you deserve to be treated fairly. At DJF Chapman & Chubb we work hard to ensure that mental health patients and their families and carers, are given the care and treatment they deserve and are entitled to.
If you or a loved one has a mental illness, there may be times when you need a legal expert to help you understand your rights or to act as your representative. We can help with everything from providing advice for people who have been sectioned to resolving disputes about medical treatment. We can also represent you at a mental health review tribunal, supporting and guiding you through the appeals process.
Our knowledgeable and approachable solicitors are on hand to discuss any aspect of mental health law. Mental health patients are often entitled to legal aid, which means our services could be provided free of charge. If you can’t get to our offices, we can usually arrange to visit you – either in hospital or at another location. Call us on 01773 540 480 today for a confidential chat and to find out how we can help you.
Making an advance decision about medical treatment avoids any misunderstanding on what your wishes are when you can no longer communicate them – DJF Chapman & Chubb can help you plan ahead.
If you lose the ability to make decisions due to old age this can be difficult for relatives and loved ones. DJF Chapman & Chubb can help you plan ahead for a time when you can no longer share what you think.
