Solicitor with expertise in learning disability

[HorsesforHealing]

Hi, I'm looking for a solicitor with expertise in dealing with learning disability law and rights. Preferably in Co. Armagh but we'll travel for the right person. Thanks.

Hi! In England there is an organisation called STEP that Solicitors that deal with the affairs of disabled people are members. Not sure that it covers your area but may be a starting point.

I have used a STEP solicitor for trust planning, they were aware of the implications for benefits. In fact they spoke at a Mencap wills and trust session. I am not sure whether they can deal with every legal area relating to disabilities but they may be a good starting point.
