Lisa, parent of a child with complex SEND needs (London)
This review was submitted by a verified client of Watkins Solicitors.
Residential success secured through expert SEND advocacy
Watkins Solicitors are an exceptional team — professional, compassionate, and forensic in their preparation. Our EHCP and tribunal case was complex and high-stakes, involving a child whose needs required intensive wrap-around and residential provision. At a time when services were in disarray and we were left largely unsupported, Watkins stepped in with clarity, expertise, and calm direction. They moved quickly, immediately recognising the urgency and committing to an initial discussion — that early responsiveness set the tone for everything that followed. Watkins uncovered the reality of our child’s condition, ensuring his needs were finally seen for what they are. From there, they built a precise, evidence-based strategy that left no detail unchecked. Their written submissions were watertight, their understanding of SEND law unmatched, and their communication consistently clear and humane. Celine, Beverle and Emma were outstanding — responsive, thorough and always one step ahead. They worked seamlessly with our experts and witnesses, ensuring every document and report landed exactly where it needed to. When the hearing finally came, the evidence spoke for itself. We could not have asked for a stronger legal team or better outcome. Watkins Solicitors don’t just know the law; they care deeply about the children and families they represent. Highly recommended for anyone navigating the EHCP or SEND tribunal process.
