Amazing Help

After my sons EHCP got refused I came across Samantha, I called up and had a chat explained what I needed and how do I go around it. Samantha explained everything. What options I had, helped me every step of the way. No question was to big or to small. She made me feel really comfortable, and at ease with such a stressful situation. Wanting to get it right, with no fuss or issues. I can not thank Samantha enough. My son now has his EHCP.

Divorce Settlement clause Children come into maturity

My Experince with Samatha Howlett at FJG was incredibly helpful. It was a difficult experience to approach and Samantha did it with care and clearly knew how to approach this sensitive issue. While the outcome was never going to appease both parties involved Samantha was kind and caring throughout. I would not hesitate recomending her in future.

Outstanding Support in a SEND Tribunal

We recently worked with Samantha Howlett at FJG on our appeal against the Local Authority regarding a placement for our daughter. Although I chose to prepare most of the statements and documents myself to keep control of costs, I can honestly say this was money incredibly well spent. Samantha was supportive, approachable, and gave us the confidence we desperately needed at such a stressful time. They guided us through the process with professionalism and care, and ultimately helped us win the case — securing the right specialist school placement for our daughter. This was after we had lost all confidence in the free SENDIAS service, so the difference in expertise and reassurance was invaluable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend FJG and Samantha to any family navigating the SEND Tribunal process. Their knowledge, guidance, and commitment made all the difference for us.

Outstanding is understating

From the very first interaction, Samantha was extremely understanding and empathic towards my situation, utilising a library of knowledge to provide clear and proactive steps forward. As the case escalated, Samatha went above and beyond to ensure all necessary steps were executed in a time critical manner adhering to the case’s sensitivity. All questions I had were answered in no time at all and for all of the above I can’t express my gratitude enough.
