Daughters EHCP Appeal

We cannot recommend Samantha and Trudi highly enough. Our daughter had an EHCP that simply was not fit for purpose, and Samantha represented us throughout the appeal process and helped us secure the funding she needed from the Local Authority. Samantha was hugely knowledgeable, professional and approachable from start to finish. She explained everything clearly, guided us through what can be an incredibly difficult and stressful process, and gave us confidence that our daughter’s needs were being properly understood and represented. Most importantly, the outcome was successful and has made a real difference for our daughter. We are incredibly grateful for Samantha and Trudi's expertise, support and dedication, and would highly recommend her to any family needing help with an EHCP or SEND appeal.

secured specialist sixth form place and fought hard to amend EHCP

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.

Life Changing Outcome

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.

Outstanding in every way

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.

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!

Efficient, Friendly, and a great approach

This was my first time engaging legal advice, and as a neurodivergent person situations such as the one which led me to attaining such advice are challenging, as are unknown experiences. Patrick explained everything clearly from start to finish and was very patient with my queries. Naturally I hope never to need their support again, but I wouldn't hesitate in reaching out should the need arise in the future.

Professional, Compassionate, and Successful – My Minded to Bar Case

I can’t thank my solicitor Mark Howell enough for representing me in my Minded to Bar case. He was professional, compassionate and incredibly thorough. He explained what was expected of me, the processes and every stage clearly, kept me informed, and made a stressful process much easier to handle. Mark did not make me any promises that I would have a positive outcome but he assured me that he would do everything he can to fully represent me well. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, I achieved the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is facing similar regulatory matter and needing expert representation.

I would highly recommend Victoria Rees. She represented me for my GOC review hearing and was professional, knowledgeable and incredibly supportive throughout. Victoria gave me clear and practical advice, was extremely thorough in my preparation, and was always approachable and responsive when I needed guidance. Her expertise and attention to detail gave me real confidence going into the hearing. I am extremely grateful for all her hard work and support and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone facing a professional regulatory matter.

Thank you for your review and we are pleased to see you were happy with Victoria's work for you.

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.
