Camden Community Law Centre - London

Neolita M.

Words can’t describe my gratitude for the support I have received from this team of dedicated and experienced solicitors. I can’t recommend them enough. They have supported me with two cases one dispossession (section 21) & DWP tribunal they won both cases.
I would like to stress both of these cases were rejected by another law centre and other legal aid law firms who didn’t see them as arguable.
Thank you Marcin, Ruth & Jeremy for all their support, sharing their expertise & patiently answering my endless questions. 🙏🏽

By far the best law centre in town. You don’t have to live in Camden to access their support.

Absolutely shocking and disgusting behaviour! I reached out in desperate need of housing help! I have not heard from them in months! They seemed so genuine and concerned before applying for the government funding as soon as i signed and filled out everything they went missing! I have emailed and called multiple times a day for months! I have left voicemails and have been abandoned and left with no contact, support or update! They have triggered my anxiety and depression and completely unbothered by people who really need help just all about the money! I will be contacting my local MP of my area as i already have a strong connection with her due to reaching out to her before.

Came here because I wasn’t confident in doing my tribunal appeal as my mandatory reconsideration was rejected by UC as I was unfairly sanctioned for not attending an appointment.

I had a slipped disk injury which left me paralysed and I’m prone to getting sick a lot. I notified UC each time and following my last incident told them I can attend again. All was well till they purposely gave me no appointment in 2 months and sanctioned me unfairly. The basis of the sanction was unfair as I had proof of my sickness which can easily be acquired on the NHS GP medical history record.

Long story short, I was with Orla who was optimistic and being my first time, I didn’t want to ‘mess it up’, but looking back, this was an extremely easy case to prove in my favour supplying the info I gave Orla. She also asked me why I didn’t attend and that it’s not a good look, although subtle, I’m not stupid and picked up on it. As someone who’s going through severe depression and anxiety from family death, multiple injuries and pain etc, the last thing you need is a lecture. Just do the job.

In the end she advised it was impossible, it was ‘my fault’ and she will withdraw from representing me. No offence, but the little she did to me gave me the idea she was clueless but It was a good thing she came to this decision because a few months after our encounter, I decided to do it, and within a week the decision was overturned in my favour before reaching court which I was anxious about.

In conclusion, you need better trained and more professional staff when using our tax money to employ these people.

I am very grateful for all hard work Mr Leyens has done for me regarding my case . He is very professional, knowledgeable and supportive lawyer. He supported me patiently during the whole process and he gave me the best advice in order to achieve the best outcome.
Here is SOME examples of his support:
1- providing the highest level of support and advice on my case.
2- challenging council for my rejected homelessness application in order to get my temporary accommodation.
3- assisting me to obtain supporting medical evidence for my case which helped me get my medical points to bid based on my circumstances. As a result I have got my Permanent place.
4- supporting me with my housing application while I had some difficulties to receive my housing benefit.

I wish him the best of luck in his career and I highly recommend him to anyone who need help.

I extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to the lawyer Oscar who handled my case. A lawyer who is capable of his work, works with distinguished professionalism. He provided me with legal advice in all sincerity and was the light that guided me to take the appropriate decisions in my case and was a psychological and moral support for me in overcoming my most difficult circumstances. A well-deserved lawyer in his style and way of dealing with matters. I highly recommend him
