Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘Douglas and his team are specialists in SEND, focusing only on this area, and we liked that the practice is small and personal. Our queries were answered promptly and requests for information were clear and timely.’
  • ‘Douglas and his team provided an exemplary service - professional advice, timely and very thorough. We had a complicated case leading up to a tribunal, and no stone was left unturned. Douglas's considerable experience was invaluable in navigating the tribunal system - his advice was factual, compassionate, and no-nonsense when it needed to be! I have worked with multiple legal professionals over the last 30 years, and Douglas has to be one of the best (if not the best) in his field. ’
