Legal Support

At some point, many of us will need legal advice. Whether it’s about buying or selling a home, employment issues, medical negligence, deputyship, wills, family matters or relationships, it’s important to find advice you can trust.

Knowing where to start can feel overwhelming, particularly at an already difficult time. We want to make that process a little easier.

Peeps launched its Legal Panel in August 2023 to help families identify reputable organisations and make informed decisions when seeking legal advice.

Every organisation on our Legal Panel has completed our due diligence process and offers a free, confidential initial consultation. They are not the only organisations able to provide legal advice, nor are families under any obligation to use them, but they may offer a helpful starting point.

We also have a private Facebook group where families can discuss legal matters, ask questions and share experiences in a supportive peer community. If you would like more information about joining, please get in touch.

Our relationship with Legal Panel members

We believe it’s important to be transparent. The organisations on our Legal Panel make a financial contribution to support Peeps’ charitable work, helping us fund our core services for families affected by H.I.E.

This financial support does not influence the advice they provide or any decisions you make. Any contact you have with a panel member is entirely confidential. Peeps does not receive referral fees, does not share your personal information with panel members, and panel members do not have access to your details unless you choose to contact them directly.
