I had an excellent experience with Nelson Richard Solicitors. They provided outstanding support and guidance throughout my GPhC exam appeal. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication were truly impressive. They carefully guided and advised me throughout the entire process and managed to complete my appeal within just five days, ensuring that all the necessary forms were accurately prepared and submitted before the deadline. My appeal was successful and my attempt was nullified.

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.

I recently instructed Louise O'Driscoll to prepare our appeal against the decision of the local authority not to offer our son a place at our preferred school. At the outset, Louise listened empathetically to our concerns and provided reassurance with her knowledge and understanding of the appeal process. The representations prepared by Louise were excellent and our son was finally offered a place at our preferred school. An excellent service from start to finish.

Overall, I have had a good experience with Latoya, she is a nice person. The only reason why I didn't give five stars was because she didn't have much faith at the beginning and if it wasn't for my determination to seek another opinion I probably wouldn't of got this far.

Really disappointed with the service. I contacted the firm for help with what should have been a very straightforward matter — simply verifying copies of my driving licence and council tax statement for my bank. Unfortunately, they were unwilling to help, despite this being a basic request that would have taken very little time. I found the whole experience unnecessarily difficult and unhelpful. I appreciate firms are busy, but when someone is asking for a simple document verification service, I would expect a solicitor’s office to at least try to assist or explain clearly why they cannot. Based on my experience, I wouldn’t recommend them for this type of straightforward work.

I am sorry that we were unable to help. Unfortunately verifying identity documents is just not a service that we offer.
