Comments from Clients
Throughout our
very lengthy appeal, we were very grateful to Langley Wellington for
the service they provided. Robert Love was always on hand to
provide help and advice; calls and emails were returned promptly and we
felt (justifiably as it turned out), reassured to have such an
experienced professional on our side. Six months down the
line,
our son has a watertight Statement and is making excellent progress at
the school of our choice. Mr
and Mrs D
...what a joy to have such a caring,
understanding and adaptable school - it really reinforces to us the
stress, emotional rollercoaster and financial sacrifices were worth it
and it was so the right thing to do and makes us very grateful that we
were in a position to fight... with a little help from Robert Love's
great team. Mr
and Mrs S
Robert Love was
a wonderful individual to deal with, with a great sense of humour.
We found Robert to be caring and understanding at all times.
He will remain in our address book. The private
clinic our
son attended put us in contact with Robert Love. It was one
of
the best things they did for us. Mr and Mrs S
Many thanks
for all your help and support throughout J's case. It has
been a
very difficult time for us. We could not of done it without
you.
J has now started at M School and is settling in well.
Mr and S
Thank
you so much
for all you did to enable K to get into M School. She would
certainly not be there now without your help and hard work to achieve
such a fantastic result from the Tribunal. This success has
opened all the doors offering K the greatest opportunity of reaching
her potential in life - a chance she would not have had otherwise and
the dream of every parent of a child with special needs. It's
hard to believe that it all took two years - but with such an amazing
result it was well worth it. We are eternally grateful for
all
you did. Mr and
Mrs F
