We secured Watkins Solicitors to produce a PAP letter for judicial review. The service was prompt, professional and ensured the local authority made a more timey decision about my child's EHCP.

Yatin and his team at Watkins supported me with settling child arrangements, including attending court. He grasped the situation immediately offering sound advice and support when I was at a personal low. He was excellent at communicating with me and articulating my position to the other party. Yatin was always focused on my child and their needs / welfare, putting things in place to ensure they were safe. I can not speak highly enough him and his team.

“I am pleased to report on my experience with Watkins Solicitors, who represented us in a recent Legal Aid–assisted Judicial Review claim against the Local Authority. From the beginning their manner was professional and reflected a genuine dedication to our matter. Their specialist expertise in SEND and Legal Aid issues was particularly impressive. Both current and former members of the firm handled the case’s complexities with considerable skill and persuasively advanced every point, which sustained our confidence in the prospects for a positive outcome throughout the proceedings. Watkins also demonstrated exemplary communication, keeping us informed at each stage and responding promptly to our enquiries and concerns. On several occasions they contacted us or replied outside normal working hours, which evidenced their genuine concern for our situation and commitment to achieving the best possible result. Ultimately, their persistence helped secure a favourable resolution that we believe would not have been attainable otherwise. I have no hesitation in recommending Watkins to anyone seeking comparable legal representation against a Local Authority; they are effective advocates and professional to work with.” John M.

Our solicitor Emma Thompson did an amazing job for us. Clear communication from the outset, a win for us and at a very reasonable fixed fee. Would (and have) highly recommend.

Thank you for your recommendation. Should you need any support in the future, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
We had a poor experience with Watkins Solicitors in Bristol during our house purchase. We were passed between several solicitors, emails were often sent to only one of us, and we often heard key updates from the sellers before our own solicitors. Documents were disorganised, the client app was never updated, and when we asked for clearer guidance, responses became curt. After completion, we raised a formal complaint, but Watkins Solicitors rejected every concern and accepted no responsibility. A disappointing and stressful process — not recommended for first-time buyers or anyone wanting professional, attentive service.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We take concerns like this seriously and are committed to providing a high standard of service and clear communication throughout every matter. If you would be willing to discuss this further, we would welcome the opportunity to review your experience in more detail. Please contact us directly so we can look into this for you.
