Danielle and Kelsey are fantastic, we had an excellent experience working with them. They are hard working and kept us updated. We had many questions, which they helped us with, with patience, understanding and professionalism. We cannot recommend them enough. We hope to work with them again in the future. Many thanks both.
Thank you to Samantha and her team including Amy, Katie and Catrin for their consistent support in securing a suitable and high quality EHCP and school placement for our daughter. We found ourselves suddenly propelled into the SEN world that we had previously known little about, with a child unable to attend school. HCB, Samantha and team have guided us and acted for us through each step of the very painful, protracted appeals and tribunal process over the past 18 months. We are absolutely sure we would not have secured such a positive outcome without their holding the LA to account at each step. We are very grateful that we now have a school setting and appropriate provision that allows our teenager to thrive again and look to the future. Thank you HCB team for your diligence, professionalism and persistence.
We cannot thank HCB Solicitors enough for their support throughout our challenging EHCP Tribunal process. Over the course of 18 months, Rob and his team, including Saskia, Mari, and Luke, guided us with professionalism, clarity, and genuine care. From the outset, they communicated effectively with the Local Authority, our Educational Psychologist, Occupational Therapist, and the specialist setting where our son had been offered a place. Mari worked relentlessly on the working document, and Luke ensured that the tribunal bundle was expertly prepared; particularly important as the Local Authority had not been able to complete it effectively. On the day of the tribunal, HCB’s preparation and advocacy were outstanding. Despite the LA seemingly throwing everything at us, Rob represented us confidently, ensuring that our case was clearly and convincingly presented. The team’s advice was consistently accurate, realistic, and reassuring at every stage, managing our expectations. We had never been through any kind of court process before, and having HCB by our side made all the difference. The final decision, naming the specialist setting in Section I, arrived on our son’s 10th birthday. It truly felt like the best possible gift for his future education. We would wholeheartedly recommend HCB Solicitors to any family navigating the EHCP process. Thank you! Sally and James, October 2025.
Mollie was knowledgeable, quick to respond and managed to get our LA to provide support for our child despite their best endeavours to stall and deflect at every turn. Our initial meeting with Andrew was insightful and he was on hand to help as required when matters became more complex. We managed to avoid a tribunal hearing and resolved proceedings by consent order a few weeks before our tribunal date. We would never have been able to get the right support for our child on our own, without the team at HCB. We were particularly impressed with their grounds of appeal and case statement. They were instrumental for putting across our case and for putting us in touch with people who could understand and help our child. We are so grateful for their help and support, for holding our LA to account and for making them see sense. Our child is finally thriving and being adequately supported in his new school. Thank you Mollie and team.
We had the need of legal advice and support for an educational matter, we were fortunate to have Robert Slade appointed as our advisor. He was professional, informed and had the expert knowledge we needed. The attributes, however, that were most appreciated were the calmness, empathy and understanding of our situation. Hiring a legal advisor is stressful, add into that the subject being your child's education, it was so beneficial to be able to discuss openly with Robert, never feeling rushed or dismissed and being able to make informed decisions to progress the matter. The outcome was as we had hoped with the school actions being shown to be unfair and unjust. We would have no hesitation in recommending HCB for both their service and expertise. Once again many thanks.
HCB solicitors came highly recommended and they recently helped me and my family in a house purchase. Well thoroughly done through all the searches and communication with estate agents and solicitors of vendors. HCB as a team were awesome and kept me updated throughout. I recommend them to anyone who wants a great team in house sale or purchase.
Effective communication at all times. A great team who kept me updated throughout the entire process. Laura Giggs, Megan Hicks and Andrew contacted me when agreed and their support was valuable throughout. I felt confident by their knowledge and , professionalism and I felt we were always on time meeting the deadlines. Such a tough process to be going through but having HCB there behind me, made the journey feel effortless. Thank you, end result was significant.
Andrew has a formidable reputation and we had heard great things about him. Truthfully we never expected him to live up to this reputation.. but he does! He genuinely cares about the welfare of SEN children and is extremely knowledgeable, this coupled with his no-nonsense approach is exactly the type of advocate parents need in their corner. Andrew and Laura kept us well informed throughout the process and always provided the best advice. We are extremely pleased with the service they provided and would highly recommend them to any SEN parent, they really took the stress away!
We completed the sale of our previous house and purchase of a new build by help of Claire, Mia and other staffs in HCB Solicitors in Cardiff. They made the process for us smooth. I would like to recommend them for good care of our case and being responsive, committed and accurate in their job.
