Rumaysa Miah

“I had an ongoing disrepair complaint with my council, regarding a delayed repair. When I researched the best specialist for disrepair cases. Hodge Jones & Allen come highly recommend. They dealt with my case very professionally, efficiently kept me informed every step of the way. I was very satisfied with the outcome, would definitely recommend their services.”

“My friend recommended HJA solicitors and my case was given to Rumaysa Miah. She has done an excellent job as her constant representation with one of the London councils has helped me to get a temporary place. I wish her all the best in future cases as well.”

“The case was quickly allocated and every email was swiftly responded to and the Solicitor’s passion for supporting women who have experienced abuse was refreshing – I have been recommending this firm since!”

“Bexley Council were refusing to assess my client because he did not have a birth certificate or passport. This meant that he was not able to access their support or temporary accommodation and so was facing street homelessness after he moved on from his hostel.

When I got in touch with HJA, Rumaysa Miah took on the case very quickly. After gathering the evidence, Rumaysa got in touch with Bexley as soon as possible to request a review of their decision, based around the legality of their rejection and the identification that my client already had. She also put forward his case to be deemed priority need and given TA on the grounds of his issues around mental health, disability, prison sentence and stubstance misuse.

Luckily my client’s birth certificate came through so Bexley took on the case before he had to leave the hostel. Although the client was not given TA, I believe that the pressure that Rumaysa put on the council pushed them to assist my client where usually they would just neglect him entirely. This lead Bexley to forwarding his application to South Cambridgeshire council, who gave my client TA and put him on the social housing waiting list.

Rumaysa was quick to get to work, worked hard to put pressure on a council who are not always very responsive and adjusted well to the many changes in the case.”

“Extremely grateful to Rumaysa for her help with my housing case. She was very supportive and listened to all of my concerns. I was kept up to date throughout the whole process. I won my case, and words can not describe how thankful I and my children are for your help. I was in a very dark place and had lost hope regarding my housing issues, and Rumaysa bought the light back in, so thank you so much. Many thanks and blessings to you all.”

“I would like to thank Rumaysa Miah she was so helpful to me. She helped me to get good accommodation after the year we have been waiting for Hounslow Council to reply to us. Thank you so much.”
