Qaisar Sheikh

Tagged solicitor Qaisar Sheikh

If there were more people like Qaisar Sheikh on this planet, the world would be a much better place. Let me explain: when I called him mid-way through my somewhat tangled-up EHCP application – in which an EHCP had been granted but without any detail, with a setting that needed to be changed multiple times and had also morphed into a phase transfer application – he was lightning-fast to grasp the complexities and nuances of the case. I knew the moment I spoke to him that I could trust him implicitly. Qaisar brings a unique blend of compassion, strategy and tactical thinking to his work, and from the outset, he fought for my son as if he was his own. He’s meticulous, consistent and an excellent communicator, with an encyclopaedic knowledge of case law and an uncanny ability to reel off relevant recent precedents. I wish I’d been with Qaisar from the start of the EHCP process, and I wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend him. It’s a gruelling process, but Qaisar navigated me through it deftly, with integrity, tenacity and empathy, making it as painless as it could possibly be. He is a truly brilliant lawyer and an all-round amazing human, and my son and I are eternally indebted to him for the positive outcome he secured for us, which is also as future-proofed and watertight as it could possibly be. Thank you Qaisar, you're our hero.

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.
