We are a tier-one MAT with a focus on inclusion and schools across country. Having worked with a large proportion of firms advising on complex/high-risk EHCP consultation response, we became aware of Winckworth Sherwood through their training webinars, which we viewed as the best available. We then contacted WS with an urgent matter and received outstanding support and advice on a 48 hour turnaround, and which has led us to substantially rethink and revise our approach in a key area of education law. We look forward to continuing to work with Winckworth Sherwood.

After my sons EHCP got refused I came across Samantha, I called up and had a chat explained what I needed and how do I go around it. Samantha explained everything. What options I had, helped me every step of the way. No question was to big or to small. She made me feel really comfortable, and at ease with such a stressful situation. Wanting to get it right, with no fuss or issues. I can not thank Samantha enough. My son now has his EHCP.

Hannah Costley

Tagged solicitor Hannah Costley

2 years ago my life was turned upside down when an accusation from out the blue came to light which put my future career as a doctor in jeopardy. Due to the seriousness of the situation, we went out in search of someone who would be able to support and defend me in this battle. My sister found Hannah online. Since then we have worked together in this long fought battle navigating through interviews, appeals and hearings in order to keep my dream of practicing alive. Despite having some setbacks along the way, Hannah has provided me with excellent advice, worked with me each and every step of the way, helping me prepare documents, references and prepare for big hearing days. She also provided me with access to excellent baristas who represented me during the course of this case. I would highly recommend Hannah for any kind of legal work, as she is very honest, personable and great person to work with. Communication has been really good and i really appreciate all the support she has given throughout this journey. Due to our work together i am now one step closer to fulfilling a lifelong dream of mine.
