There are many reasons why CHC decisions may be wrong. If you have been denied CHC and are paying for care, you may be able to reclaim care fees. Our specialist team are experienced at overturning flawed CHC decisions. With care home fees in excess of £80,000 per year we can save families thousands of pounds.

If you believe a relative has been wrongly charged for their care costs as a self-funder, including if you discover this after your relative has passed away, you may be able to bring a retrospective review. Our specialist team has significant experience of bringing successful retrospective cases, including reclaiming care home fees after death.

It has always been a great pleasure to deal with Marie as she is friendly, warm and courteous and what is more, she has always responded promptly to my emails as well as answering any queries I may have had in a most helpful and reassuring manner which I have very much appreciated. Based on my recent experience, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Marie's professional services.

As Executor for my late husband ‘s will, I have been impressed by the service I have received from Porter Dodson Solicitors Wellington. Without exception, I have been treated with courtesy and kindness by the staff members I have had contact with throughout the process of obtaining Grant of Probate. Their professionalism is outstanding and I have been kept informed throughout. I have no hesitation in using their services in the future should the occasion arise. I felt their fees are reasonable and kept to the minimum where possible.
