Friendly, efficient and professional Legal Aid for SEND
I contacted Gregg for support with Judicial Review after my local authority had not kept to statutory timeframes for an EHCNA process, in spite of pre action letters. It was fast and straightforward to be setup as a client and I was able to complete the registration process via phone and email. All of the preparatory work to submit the application to the Legal Aid Agency was conducted on a pro bono basis. Gregg kept in contact throughout and explained my options clearly. Even after the matter was resolved, Gregg contacted me to make sure things were still progressing. Everyone I spoke to at Watkins was efficient and knowledgeable.
