Unfortunately, my mother died 13 months ago and Nelson’s looked after her estate on my behalf. I had a brain haemorrhage and a speech and language disability (aphasia), 33 years ago and I therefore have a lot of barriers now but Rebecca and the team were very mindful of this and I would certainly recommend it to other people with different disabilities.

As a professional witness working alongside Alexandra Kremer, I have consistently found her to be exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely dedicated to the families she supports. Alexandra has an excellent understanding of SEND law and approaches every case with a level of care, attention to detail, and professionalism that is truly outstanding. What sets Alexandra apart is her ability to manage highly complex and emotionally challenging situations whilst remaining calm, compassionate, and incredibly organised. She has a remarkable ability to explain complex legal matters in a way that is clear and accessible to both families and professionals, ensuring that everyone feels informed, supported, and listened to throughout the process. Her communication is excellent, and she is always approachable, responsive, and proactive. Alexandra works tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcomes for the children and families she represents, and it is very clear that she genuinely cares about the people she works with. She consistently demonstrates integrity, empathy, and a deep commitment to ensuring that children receive the support and provision they need. From a professional perspective, Alexandra is highly respected and extremely easy to work alongside. She values multidisciplinary collaboration, listens carefully to professional opinions, and ensures that all evidence is considered thoughtfully and thoroughly. Her preparation, attention to detail, and ability to advocate effectively are second to none. It has genuinely been a pleasure working alongside Alexandra in a professional capacity, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking legal support within SEND and education matters. She is an exceptional legal professional and an enormous asset to the families she supports.
