SRA Admission

I can’t thank Steve Roberts enough for his support throughout my SRA Admission journey. It was a long and at times overwhelming process, but his guidance, reassurance, and professionalism made a real difference. I’m incredibly grateful for all the help I received and would highly recommend Steve and the firm to anyone going through the SRA Admissions process. Outstanding support from start to finish.

Essential help!

Louise and Lily were essential in guiding me through the process of an academic misconduct process and panel. They were readily available and on-hand at all times and dedicated significant amounts of time answering my questions and drafting statements and responses. Thank you both.

Advice on A School Issue

We contacted Richard Nelson LLP for advice and potential dispute between our selves and the school that or Grandson goes to. After giving them a brief of the problem over the phone Louise called us back with the and ran through in detail the issues we were having. she then guided us through the process of explaining our rights and also those of the school so that we had a full and rounded picture of likely outcomes. Louise then made contact on our behalf with the school and ensured we had all information we need to ensure we had a positive outcome. We would certainly use Louise and the team at Richard Nelson LLP again and highly recommend them .

university general misconduct and fitness to practice

Lily gave support during a very difficult time when I was dealing with a complex fitness to practise and misconduct case submitted to my university by an ex-partner. The situation was extremely stressful, but Lily’s professionalism and compassion made a huge difference. She was always quick to respond to my emails and calls, providing clear guidance and reassurance throughout. Her support helped me feel more confident and less anxious during an incredibly challenging period. I’m very grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone facing similar circumstances.

Excellent Service and Support

I can’t thank Samantha Trowbridge enough for her incredible support throughout our EHCP journey.  From the very first consultation, she was professional, understanding, and genuinely committed to helping us achieve the best outcome for our daughter. She guided us through every step of the process with clear explanations, expert advice, and real compassion.  Her attention to detail, knowledge of the law, and dedication made such a difference and ultimately, led to the positive result that has truly changed our daughter’s future. What stood out most was how approachable and responsive she was.  How she held those organisations involved accountable to their commitments and their deadlines.  No question ever felt too small, and every concern was handled with patience and care.  It was such a relief to have someone so capable and supportive on our side! I would highly recommend Samantha Trowbridge and her team to any parent or carer going through the EHCP process and have done so. Her professionalism, empathy, and determination are second to none. Thank you again for helping us achieve the outcome we so desperately needed!

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!

Employment

After much research into firms who dealt with SRA regulatory matters, Richard Nelson LLP offered the most advice and reassurance from the off. Following a lengthy initial consultation with Steve Roberts free of charge, I felt under no obligation to instruct but Steve was happy to offer initial advice. It was an easy decision to instruct Steve and after 10 years of attempting to deal with the SRA myself, thanks to Steve and Shannon I am now succesfully on the path to admission to the roll. Shannon Keenan who assisted on my case was thorough and extremely helpful throughout. Combined Steven and Shannon offer a way for solicitors and legal professionals the clear and precise route that needs to be taken. Steve has a wealth of knowledge in this field and i will forever be grateful to him and Shannon for what they have done.

Great support!

Rita helped me with my application and gave me the confidence from the very first appointment. She continued correspondence and helped me submit the application in the correct timeframe and followed through. She ensured to be professional and personalised everything around my schedule and relevant to my case. Thank you for your help!

I had a very disappointing experience with this law firm. The attorney who was handling my case failed to complete my paperwork even after I had fully paid all the agreed fees. After we finalized everything from my side and I paid the full amount, my documents remained pending for an entire year. During that time, I repeatedly tried to contact her for updates, but she did not respond to my messages. This lack of communication and delay caused me significant stress and inconvenience. I expected a much higher level of professionalism and accountability, especially after fulfilling all my financial obligations. I hope the firm takes this matter seriously and improves its communication and commitment to clients.

I am sorry to hear that your experience was disappointing. There are often delays by HM Land Registry which are outside of our control, where they often take over a year before completing a registration. However, it sounds like there were potentially communication issue where we could have done better to manage your expectations and to communicate with you. If you would like us to explore this further offline with you, then please do reach out to us at complaints@richardnelsonllp.co.uk. Thank you.

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.

Rita provided outstanding support with my father’s British citizenship application. She was professional and always clear in her communication, which made the whole process much less stressful. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, the application was successful. I’m very grateful for Rita’s excellent service and would highly recommend her to anyone needing an immigration solicitor!
