Education

A fierce advocate who gets results

I honestly cannot recommend Priscilla Adu at NBB Waldrons highly enough. From the very beginning, she was absolutely incredible—sharp, strategic, and completely on top of every detail. What stood out most was how fiercely she advocated. She didn’t just go through the motions; she challenged everything that needed to be challenged and made it clear she would not accept anything less than a fair outcome. Thanks to her expertise and determination, my daughter’s exclusion was overturned quickly minimising detrimental impact, which speaks volumes about the strength of her work. What also really stood out was her integrity. She actively suggested more cost-effective options—such as instructing a barrister directly rather than going through solicitors—showing she genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for us, not about maximising fees. Priscilla was professional, responsive, and reassuring throughout, but also unapologetically firm when it mattered. She combines compassion with real legal strength, and that balance made all the difference during what was an incredibly stressful situation. If you want someone who will genuinely fight your corner and get results, Priscilla is exactly who you need.

Cost-Effective Specialist Education Services

They genuinely understand different facets of the law - even if your claim may be ordinarily time barred there may be a way forwards in some cases. As long as you prepare your documents well and point out to the solicitors where are the potential issues as well as argument points they can give a good strategy. Perhaps maybe things should be summarised a bit more? But not much time was used on fee structures - it would be best to settle part of that before the initial or further consultations.

Overpriced and inaccurate

I only had an initial consult with NBB law regarding severe quality issues in my masters program at the University of Sheffield. Several students in the program have been affected and we have been trying to get a fair outcome for the past year. The solicitor I consulted with seemed to primarily be focused on getting payment for the consult - with much of the time being used for her explanations of the firms fee structure. When I attempted to say that these could be shared with me over email, and I would prefer if I could instead have some of my more pressing questions addressed, she said "we don't send this over email". Upon asking twice, her paralegal did provide me with notes - however the notes exhibit that they misunderstood key portions of the discussion. I felt the consult was too focused on providing a virtual meeting that could claim to have used up the entire duration that I'd paid for, the solicitor became uninterested because of the harms are nuanced and will necessitate some work and that the primary goal of the consult was to obtain the fee payment and use up my resources to outline their own fee structures.
