I was sent back to Jamaica but I have a right to be in the UK. Can I get help from a lawyer?
Yes, if you believe you have a right to be in the UK, solicitors at Duncan Lewis can provide legal advice and we might be able to secure compensation for you.
We regularly represent individuals who are treated unlawfully by the UK Government. For example, we act for Albert Thompson (not his real name), whose case sparked national awareness of the Windrush Scandal. Click here to read more about this in The Guardian.
The UK Government refused to let me return to the UK, even though I have a right to be there. Can I get help from a lawyer?
Yes, again, we can advise you and might be able to help you if you are in this situation.
The UK Government has finally admitted that members of the ‘Windrush Generation’ have a right to stay in the UK as British citizens. The Windrush Generation are those who came to the UK from Caribbean countries, especially Jamaica, between 1948 and 1973.
Unfortunately, for some people the Government admission comes too late, they have already been affected. If this applies to you, or someone you know, you may be eligible for compensation for loss of earnings, stress and inconvenience.
