Thousands of children are believed to have been abused while growing up in Lambeth Council’s children’s homes. cThese homes were open from the 1930s and were still operating in 2000s and Verisona Law’s specialist team has worked with many individuals who suffered due to the actions and negligence of Lambeth Council.
The recent IICSA hearings have investigated the extent of Lambeth Council’s children’s homes negligence and have revealed harrowing tales of physical, racial, sexual and psychological abuse that took place in the children’s homes.

Lovely, friendly, great people. Very understanding too and very good at what they do. Very happy with the result, many thanks again Lisa and everyone involved in my case.
I would like to express my profound heartfelt gratitude to Lisa Gafarov for all her hard work and understanding when representing me. She fought passionately for my case for two years.
Within this time, never once did I feel it was about the money for her. She was very considerate and dealt with many personal matters in a caring and professional way. It was a very sensitive case but she put in a lot of hard work and went the extra mile each time. Her wide range of expertise was indispensable during this difficult time. Because of this I trusted all her advice and as a result, this took a lot of pressure off of me.
She managed to reach a very amicable conclusion between the defendants and myself. You don’t know how much your passion impacts the lives of others. For this I am forever grateful. I would recommend your firm a hundred times over.
I am so thankful for all Lisa Gafarov is doing for me. Finally my case is going somewhere. I can't wait to hear back on an offer, and read my records. Thank you so much Lisa!
Thank you for all your much appreciated hard work. I will truly never forget your kindness towards me. Your patience, respect and understanding at all times was beyond words. The sincere compassion shown meant more to me than words could ever express. This firm will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Your help in pursuing and fighting my case is greatly appreciated, not by just myself but my whole family. Only through the progression of the case have I found it easier to talk about it and this has helped deal with something I had locked away since the day I left the school. It has allowed me to talk about my experiences far more openly and without the stigma of shame I had felt for so long.
Your and your team are amazing. I will never ever forget you and I will forever have a place in my heart I'll recommend you to anyone but I hope I don't have to. Continue to do your amazing work you will change so many lives for the better.
