James is an experienced elderly client solicitor with a deep understanding of the legal challenges faced by older individuals and their families. As a specialist in NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding, he expertly guides families through the assessment and appeals process, helping them secure the funding they are entitled to. He also assists in recovering wrongly paid care fees and supports families in claiming funding for loved ones who were eligible but did not receive it before passing away. Passionate about advocating for clients’ rights, James is dedicated to achieving life-changing results. A standout moment in his career was securing an NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding award through an Independent Review Panel, leading to a £350,000 restitution payment for wrongly paid care costs. Outside of work, James enjoys cooking, spending time with family and friends, and traveling to Spain to refine his Spanish language skills—a passion he developed while earning his degree in Spanish.
