I think Samantha is amazing in what she does she is absolutely brilliant and this is the second time she and Trudie have secured a place for my son in a specialist dyslexic school and now sixth form. Not only is she excellent at her job she has saved my son's educational future. I would highly recommend.
Our life has changed immensely for the better now that our daughter has been granted a special school placement. Whereas before there was no hope we can look towards a brighter future - our daughter now able to access education and her mental health is improving every day. I cannot put into words how grateful I am for Samantha and Trudi's help in this matter, I don't know where we would have been without them! Samantha was so patient with us and seemed to genuinely understand the issues we faced. She offered a lot of practical advice and was there with us every step of the way during this long and horrible process. She has given us our lives back as our daughter is thriving both in and out of school. I only wish we had contacted her sooner.
I will never be able to say thank you enough for what Sam and Trudi have done for us. They are amazing ladies. They have supported and have gone above and beyond fighting for my son. I couldn't have done any of this without them. Thank you so much again you amazing ladies.
If you are looking for an outstanding education solicitor look no further than Samantha Trowbridge at Richard Nelsons Solicitors (and her assistant Trudi Salmon) . Navigating the SEN and EHCP system is a minefield and mentally exhausting to the point where you feel broken. Samantha managed to balance brilliant legal strategy with profound empathy, it was as if she was fighting for her own child. She made us feel like we were a team, and she was the captain. When we thought there was no way we could get a favourable outcome, she never gave up the fight, even though we thought we were losing, she gave us hope, and that is what we held on to. She made us feel seen and supported every step of the way. Her (and Trudi's ) communication and support was beyond excellent, and she successfully won our case. I cannot thank her enough for securing an amazing education for my grandson in a specialist school. He now has a chance to be the best he can be and a happy school life. Thankyou doesn't touch the sides.
Samantha’s support throughout our son’s EHCP and annual review meetings was invaluable. Despite the ongoing complexities and rigidity of the process, her guidance enabled us to identify important factors we hadn’t previously considered and to build a strong case for our son’s change of provision. Her expertise was instrumental in securing the right provision for him and in navigating the whole process; there is absolutely no doubt about that. I would not hesitate to recommend her services and request her help in the future when needed. We are deeply grateful for her dedication and for helping us achieve the best possible outcome for our son.
Kind. Professional. Efficient. Thorough. These are some of the words I'd use to describe my experience with Richard Nelson LLP. Rita has been wonderful to deal with and I am so grateful for time and care she out into my sons applications. Thank you Rita! I can't recommend your services enough x

Louise O'Driscoll was amazing in helping me throughout a fitness-to-practice case with my university. Throughout the process, she was informative, understanding, and reassuring, and always took the time to speak to me and answer my questions. I would recommend to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation to contact them. The cost is high, but the service is also of the utmost quality.

Good morning, this feedback is for Louise (Louise O’Driscoll/ F0348-1-6/ 11615). Louise has offered her guidance and advice for the school appeal of my daughter. We were successful and delighted with the outcome. However independently from the outcome, I can honestly say that Louise is knowledgeable about the school appeal process. Louise has patiently guided me through the process, and how to: (1) best present the personal circumstances of our case; (2) challenge the evidence provided by the school for not admitting my daughter. As a working mum and fully committed solicitor, she is swamped, but she always promptly returned my calls and e-mails. I am very fortunate to have met and been offered her services. If you are determined to have the best chance in appealing for a school place, yet you are unsure how to navigate the complexities of the appeal process, I strongly encourage you to call Louise and seek her help and guidance. Louise is knowledgeable and honest, and will not let you down.

Having been involved with a University Non-Academic Misconduct Process, Richard Nelson LLP was contacted. The support offered by the soliciter was amazing. I recieved guidence on how to write my statements and preperation for interview. Following the interview additional support was provided in regards to the next level of the process. A barrister was instructed. I got the best outcome possible for my situation which would not have happened without Richard Nelson LLP, the soliciter, and the barrister whom the soliciter instructed.

I first made contact with Richard Nelson via a google research. My specialty is swimming Instructor. After searching through many DBS specialists I came across Richard Nelson, thankfully! Their reviews from past clients and speaking to the administrator over the phone made my decision to use them as my representation I was appointed Mark who from start to finish was professional, down to earth and most of all reassuring with what the process entails and how we were going to respond. The all process was completed in a timely and organised manner by Mark allowing plenty time to process, amend then submit the application I really can’t thank Richard Nelson as a company and most importantly Mark as my assigned DBS specialist solicitor Highly recommended!

Patrick was exceptionally quick to respond, and consistently accurate in his assessment of the situation and his recommendations. He ensured the matter was dealt with promptly, professionally, and achieved the outcome I was looking for. No hesitation in recommending Patrick if you need his assistance.

I contacted Richard Nelson as I urgently needed some expert legal advice about a distressing and sensitive matter. The service I received throughout my case from Latoya Atkinson was outstanding. Latoya dealt with my case with sensitivity without losing at any point her forensic focus on the arising matters. She was proactive in letting me know the progress of the case (there was no need for me to nudge or chase for an update at any point). When needed, she sent detailed legal advice that was both comprehensive and clear. Latoya was approachable and exceptionally responsive to emails. I believe that the success of my case is due to her skill, care and professionalism. I recommend Latoya Atkinson wholeheartedly and without any reservation whatsoever.

Thanks to Patrick who helped me through my unplanned sudden redundancy. He was calm and precise and dealt with all communication with my ex employees to get me the best deal, when I was not able to do this myself. Thanks Patrick!

I cannot recommend Marjorie Creek and Richard Nelson LLP highly enough. Marjorie supported me through an incredibly difficult and prolonged period, and I will always be deeply grateful that I had her in my corner. Her knowledge, experience and professional judgement were invaluable, but what made such a difference was the genuine compassion, kindness and reassurance she showed throughout. During a situation that was often extremely challenging, knowing that I could turn to Marjorie for clear advice, support and guidance gave me enormous reassurance. She was always approachable, responsive and there when I needed her, acting promptly and professionally while never losing the human touch. I always felt that she genuinely cared about my situation and was committed to achieving the best possible outcome for me. It is difficult to put into words just how much her support meant during that time. Marjorie is an exceptional professional and a genuinely compassionate person, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone needing knowledgeable, trustworthy and supportive legal representation.

Thank you for this review. We are fortunate to have Marjorie in our team!
As a lawyer myself it was interesting for me to see things from the other side. I did not expect to be in a position to need the advice I required but was so relieved to find Steve Roberts - an extremely competent, calm and personable solicitor who put me at my ease within minutes of speaking to him. I am so glad I instructed someone else instead of dealing with the case myself- his written response was extremely succinct and well put. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

I worked with Rita for over nine years on my spouse visa application. Throughout the entire process, she was exceptionally professional, understanding, and consistently well‑organised. Her dedication and expertise made a huge difference, and thanks to her fantastic work, my visa has finally been granted. I would highly recommend Rita’s services.
