Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The team was excellent from the moment we contacted them - they were immediately reassuring, understanding the high stress of the situation, and took time to work with our child. Their in-depth knowledge and experience of the sector was incredibly useful, and they were able to draw on previous cases and experiences to drive actions.’
‘Alfie Cranmer was excellent - I cannot praise him highly enough. At every step of the way he supported our child, took time to explain what was going on, presented options and recommendations etc. He went above and beyond to reduce stress during an incredibly stressful period for our child and was always calm and professional. He drew time and again on experience of similar situations to negotiate accommodations and inspired confidence every step of the way.’
