Community Orders

Ormistons being very much focused and specialised on areas of the Mental Health law conduct tribunals across Scotland on a daily basis.

Our clients are often subject to orders under mental health law whilst at home, supported accommodations, care homes and so on. It may well be that a person is on a suspended hospital based order, or on a community order. Either way a person has the right to legal representation to consider appealing these compulsory measures and our team will be happy to advise on the options available to you legally which are fully legal aided.

What can be expected?

We aim to see new clients same day or within 24 hours regardless of where you are.
You will always work with a solicitor with mental health legal experience in tribunals and representation.
A helpful and empathetic telephone advice line to assist with all your queries.
We aim to provide a prompt service as we understand that a passage of time is more time spent under compulsory measures.
