I want to apply for PRTD on Humanitarian and Compassionate grounds \ I was taking care of really sick parents.
do lawyers really help in PRTD on Humanitarian and Compassionate grounds
It is not the matter for lawyer charges but I am afraid of getting refusal
Does any one have successful cases using lawyers for such applications
There are some successful cases with and without lawyers.
Let's explain how they can help (assuming good ones):
1) Lawyers should know the precise parts of the laws and regulations to craft (write) a specific, carefully-targetted request that uses (responds to) the language used and specified in the laws and regulations. If they're attentive and careful, they know which 'tests' are commonly applied to such requests (eg that are both sufficient and necessary to correspond to the requirements).
Crucially, they should also know what information should be left out or not emphasized (because they do not support the points above or contradict).
There's nothing magic about this BUT doing it professionally helps. And since the job is (to a large degree) crafting/drafting written documents, they're often a LOT better at it than people who don't do it for a living.
2) If they are active and have lots of cases and/or do a lot of research (not all in public sources although some is), they'll also know somewhat more recent trends of what is happening in actual cases (often before they get to appeal stage).
3) They know the procedures and should not make the mistakes us 'mere mortals' would - and they'll know and catch the procedural mistakes the other side makes (that may be useful and provide leverage).
4) In both cases: they'll also be working in such a way that what they've written (and all steps and correspondence in between) is maximally helpful/minimally harmful at later stages, like on appeal.
In overall terms though: if the H&C request is a very strong one (and eg the breach of residency obligation small), a lawyer may not help much - not because they lawyer is not good at what they do, but extra assistance is not needed.
At the other end: a marginal case might be helped a lot - because the applicant on their own doesn't cover all the points above.
And in all cases: correct the above for the ability of the applicant to do this on their own. Somebody who does this stuff badly andwritesinlongsentencesiwthoutevertakingabreathandmentionsalotofextraneousstuff(didyouknowtheguywhodoesphotosneartheembassyinkarachiwasmeantomymotherandovercharges?) can make an easy case hard, and a hard case impossible. Somebody who is very good at this stuff may be able to get by without a lawyer where others cannot.
The rest is up to you.
