Professionalism in every aspect of the legal service

We are a returning client and have been in receipt of the ongoing SEN legal support and guidance from Boyes Turner. I highly recommend this service. We receive professional, efficient legal support from Janata Ali on a number of occasions, and were able to successfully secure the right level of support and education for our child.

Support with SEN

We are very happy to provide this reference for Lydia, who supported us as a family in navigating the details of our child’s EHCP. The whole EHCP process can feel quite overwhelming, and at times it was difficult to know what we needed to ask for or where to start. Lydia was always approachable, reassuring and easy to talk to. She took the time to listen to us, explain things in a way that we could understand, and guide us through each step. Her knowledge and attention to detail made a real difference, and she helped us make sure that our child’s needs were properly understood and reflected in the EHCP. We always felt that Lydia genuinely cared about helping us get the right support for our child, rather than it just being another case for her. We are incredibly grateful for all her help, patience and reassurance. Having Lydia supporting us made what could have been a very stressful process feel much more manageable. We would have no hesitation in recommending Lydia to any family going through the EHCP process. She is knowledgeable, caring and genuinely committed to getting the best outcome for the children and families she supports.

Meticulous, Formidable, and Compassionate: A 5-Year Journey to SEND Success

Lydia Dunford is an exceptional and meticulous Special Educational Needs (SEN) solicitor. For the past five years, Lydia has been the guiding light for our family in what is often a deeply overwhelming and adversarial SEND system. As the father of a secondary school pupil with autism and complex learning difficulties, I found the fight to get my daughter the right education and support to be the most stressful experience of my life. From the moment we instructed Lydia, however, we knew we had a true champion in our corner. Over our five-year journey together, Lydia’s expertise and relentless dedication changed the trajectory of my daughter’s life. Among her many achievements on our behalf, she: - Helped us win two SEN Tribunal cases: Lydia expertly guided us through two separate SEND tribunals, navigating the complex legal hurdles with precision, strategic brilliance, and an unmatched understanding of SEN law and associated processes. - Secured the right educational placement: Thanks to her meticulous preparation and tenacity, we secured our daughter's placement at the most suitable secondary school; a placement the local authority had strongly resisted for years, despite acknowledging its full suitability. - Enshrined essential provision in Section F of the EHCP: Crucially, Lydia fought to ensure that the Education, Health and Care Plan legally bound the local authority to provide the exact support our daughter requires to thrive. Beyond her formidable legal expertise, what truly sets Lydia apart is her profound empathy. She never treated us like just another case file. She took the time to truly understand my daughter’s unique needs and offered us the best options with extreme clarity and compassion during the darkest, most stressful moments of the appeals process. Last but not least, she managed to organize a whole team of experts to fight our case, whose independent, professional insights were absolutely instrumental in securing our daughter's future. Fighting a local authority for five years takes a heavy toll on a family, but having Lydia by our side gave us the strength to keep going. She gave my daughter a voice and secured her fundamental right to a meaningful education. I cannot recommend Lydia highly enough to any parent facing a battle for their child’s SEN provision. She is an exceptional solicitor, a fierce advocate, and a deeply compassionate professional.

Tribunal won!

After waiting 14 months for tribunal date for our child to be awarded a SEN school place, Rachael Allison from Boyes Turner did a through job under constantly changing circumstances. She was prepared and she advised us well. In the end the LA were so badly prepared that we were given an award within 30 minutes (Tribunals often take 4 hours plus apprently).

Outstanding Legal Help Navigating My Son’s SEN Needs

I’m incredibly grateful for the excellent help and guidance I received from this firm, especially from solicitor Laxmi Patel. Her professionalism, kindness, and deep understanding of SEN matters made a real difference for my son. Laxmi took the time to explain everything clearly and supported us with care and expertise throughout the process. Her dedication and compassion turned a stressful situation into one we could manage with confidence. I would highly recommend Laxmi and the firm to anyone seeking specialist advice and support for SEN matters.

Sophie Payne-excellent advice and support throughout

Sophie has been a massive help to me and my business partner, and I wanted to give her the recognition she deserves. She took the time to explain our options, answer our questions and make sure we understood what needed to happen next. Her advice was clear and practical, and she worked closely with our other advisers to help us make informed decisions. What really stood out was the follow-up. Sophie kept checking in and asking the right questions to make sure things had been dealt with properly. We felt she was looking out for us, and that meant a lot. I give credit where it’s due, and her patience, attention to detail and continued support deserve it. Having someone you trust to guide you through things makes a real difference when you’re also busy running a business. Thank you, Sophie, for everything you’ve done for us. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you and Boyes Turner.

Exceptional Support During the Most Difficult Time

I cannot thank Laura enough for everything she did for our family. When my husband Paul was diagnosed with mesothelioma, our world was turned upside down. Alongside the shock, heartbreak, and uncertainty that comes with such a devastating diagnosis, we were faced with navigating a legal process that felt overwhelming at an already incredibly difficult time. From our very first conversation, Laura was exceptional. Not only was she highly knowledgeable and professional, but she was also kind, compassionate, and genuinely invested in helping us. She guided us through every step of the process with patience and understanding, always taking the time to explain things clearly and making sure we felt supported and informed. What stood out most was the way Laura treated us as people, not just clients. She understood that this wasn’t simply a legal case—it was about Paul, our family, and securing justice for the suffering he endured. Throughout the process, she showed a level of empathy and care that I will never forget. During one of the most difficult periods of our lives, Laura became a source of reassurance and strength. Her dedication, attention to detail, and determination to achieve the best outcome for Paul never wavered, and I always felt completely confident that our case was in the very best hands. Thanks to Laura’s hard work and expertise, we achieved a successful outcome, but what means just as much to me is the kindness and support she showed along the way. As I continue navigating life after losing Paul, I look back with immense gratitude for everything she did for us. I honestly could not have wished for a better solicitor. Laura went above and beyond in every sense, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone needing both outstanding legal representation and genuine human compassion.

Compassionate and Professional support throughout my medical injury claim

I had an excellent experience using Boyes Turner for a medical legal matter from start to finish. Vanessa Wand was incredibly professional, compassionate and kept me informed at every step of the way that I never once felt left wondering what was happening. She was always wiling to answer any questions , returned calls promptly and provided clear explanations on anything I did not understand. She even went the extra mile to update me even on her day out of the office which was greatly appreciated. She is calm friendly and easy to speak to including Ben Ireland . Their dedication to my case ensured a positive result. Thank you for your outstanding support and excellent service. I would highly recommend.

Boyes Turner was recommended to us and we're so so pleased we used them for our conveyancing. It was quite a complicated process with our flat's specific lease situation and some boundary issues, but we had excellent advice with prompt and frequent communication, specifically from Ellena, as well as the rest of the team. We couldn't be happier with the service we received.

We used Ellena Balshaw in the Boyes Turner Residential Conveyancing team for our house move, and she was simply brilliant. What should have been a straightforward transaction became far more challenging due to a difficult buyer who pulled out, returned, and then appointed an extremely slow firm on their side. Their admin-led approach caused repeated delays, with decisions unable to progress without solicitor sign-off, despite Ellie clearly communicating our fixed completion dates. At the same time, our sellers were keen to move quickly as they were leaving the country. Throughout the process, Ellie kept us regularly and clearly informed about where things stood, the position with both our buyer and seller, and exactly what we needed to do next. She also proactively liaised with our estate agents and other parties to keep everyone aligned, meaning we were fully prepared and ready to proceed ahead of others. I would highly recommend Ellie to anyone buying or selling a property.
