What We Do:

Direct Help & Advice are proud to be able to offer further important services, to our clients and the communities, in Derbyshire and surrounding areas.

Our latest initiative - DHA Legal will help people fight back against injustice, negligence and unfair employers. We're extending our legal services so, we are able to assist even more local families, throughout their lives.

Our new suite of specialist services gives direct and easy access to a wider range of legal services - Personal Injury, Medical Negligence, Industrial Injury & Diseases, Employment, Wills & Probate, Professional Negligence and Mis-selling.

Direct Help & Advice (DHA)* are working in association with leading UK solicitors Pattinson & Brewer to provide a comprehensive range of legal advice and representation.

Rafe Nauen, Chair of Trustees is delighted with the initiative. "DHA has always been about fairness - helping people, protecting their rights and fighting back when needed. With the establishment of DHA Legal we're able to widen our reach and support within the local community providing easily accessible legal advice on issues that can affect us all, via our Centres in Derby and Ilkeston and via our website"

Working in association, Frances McCarthy Managing Partner of Pattinson & Brewer is looking forward to supporting the charity " We feel very privileged to have the opportunity to work in association with Direct Help & Advice. Both our specialist teams have spent many years committed to make a difference for those we represent. We care passionately about gaining justice and a fair outcome for every individual"
