Avoid at all costs

Worst solicitor firm you put a lot of trust in these people when they defend you AVOID! For you own sake. the stress my partner has faced due to never being able to get in touch with her solicitor and left abandoned through so many hard situations is unrepairable.

Dealing with an unreasonable ex-partner

Catherine Turner gave me great advice whilst trying to deal with an unreasonable/abusive ex-partner. As well as making sure I had all the facts and advice I needed Catherine took the time to listen to me and offered great support at a time when I needed it most.

Appeal & tribunal support in challenging EHCP and school placement

Celine and everyone at Watkins have been so helpful in getting us a successful outcome for our child. The LA have been very tricky to engage with and after months of making no progress ourselves in trying to secure a new school placement and EHCP changes we had them act for us. We are so pleased with the outcome and support we have received. Having a child out of school has been incredibly stressful so handing everything over to Watkins felt like a huge weight off when we did not have the energy or confidence to fight the LA for what our child needed. Thanks to Celine and the team at Watkins we have got all the provision our son needs agreed in the EHCP and placement at a fantastic independent specialist school. Watkins have really turned things around for us and I would recommend their services to anyone struggling to advocate for their child. We also very much appreciated the transparency over fees and what was covered as helped us understand and budget accordingly for their services.

Excellent professional

From start to finish Emma was excellent kept us informed and up to date with how the case was going and she had her work cut out in keeping me informed as I hadn’t a clue how EHCP Tribunals worked.
Will definitely recommend Watkins Solicitors to anyone who needs help in the education legal department.
Thank you very much Emma.

Sale and purchase of property

Thank you to both Jagoda and Morgan for making the sale of our existing property and purchase of new so straightforward. Despite our buyers pushing for completion after 4 weeks both made the process relatively stress free and completed our purchase quicker than even we thought and are very grateful for. I would highly recommend this company and in particular Jagoda and Morgan.

Watkins have been instrumental in helping us appeal our daughter’s EHCP and getting the fundamental and necessary changes approved. Emma Grimbly has been an excellent communicator throughout, giving clear and concise advice and keeping us well informed.
We are grateful to her and her team for their professionalism and expertise and for pushing for the best outcome.

About this branch

Description

We also aim to make our services affordable. We are transparent on costs, with no hidden extras. At our first meeting we will go through the payment terms that are most suited to your means. Additionally, we often promote special offers. Legal aid has now largely disappeared but we remain one of the few firms in the Bristol area able to offer public funding from the Legal Aid Authority. Legal aid may now mainly be restricted to cases involving either child care cases or domestic violence but during our initial meeting with you we will be able to tell you whether you will be eligible for legal aid. We are proud to have won the Bristol Law Society Legal Aid Firm of the Year for 2013/2014.
