We cannot thank Mark enough for his…

We cannot thank Mark enough for his guidance and support in helping our son get into his school for year 7. It was such a stressful period but Mark made the process so much easier. Thank you to Monica too for all your help too and your swift replies, it was the best investment we have made for a long time and we would, and will, recommend Mark to everyone!

A rock star lawyer in the education world!

We sought Mark for our son’s potential residential tribunal, and it just confirmed his brilliance. He is well-known in the industry for a reason, a celebrity amongst peers. Navigating such situations can be incredibly stressful, but with Mark on your side, you know you're getting the best representation possible. Thanks to his skill and dedication, our son has been flourishing in his residential placement for the past 14 months. Recently, when we had to reach out to Mark again, the overwhelming sense of relief that comes just from having him in our corner.

Fantastic, approachable SEN Lawyer

Mark is a fantastic lawyer and always available when you have any questions about developments or answering your queries. He always provides updates on the case, explaining the options and potential outcomes. In tribunal he is very effective at presenting arguments and responding the apposing LA. His closing statement was outstanding and clearly helped to bring all the evidence together. Mark is really approachable, professional and understanding. We were also very pleased with the fixed fees as we then knew that we weren't incurring additional costs. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mark to any other parents needing a SEN solicitor, he was outstanding. Ultimately we received the desired outcome from the tribunal and we feel that this was mostly due to the fact that we had Mark onboard representing us, so thank you Mark!

Tribunal against The Isle of Wight Council for failure to implement EHCP Provision

Mark's, skill, expertise and support were crucial to our case against the Isle of Wight Council. He was able to remain focused on the task at hand, even when emotions were running high and he genuinely cared about our daughter being granted the provision she has been legally entitled to for 5 years. I am particularly grateful for his down to earth, forthright appraisal and guidance, especially when the LA were playing "legal oneupmanship" games with my daughter's future. He shone at the Tribunal and was more than a match for anything the LA had to say. He was worth his weight in gold and I would recommend his services unreservedly, to anyone experiencing difficulties with LA's bending the rules, ignoring the Law or just being downright dishonest. Thank you Mark.

Phenomenal and forensic expert Special Educational Needs law

Phenomenal and forensic expert knowledge on SEND law; never more needed than now - when Local Authorities' SEN departments are trying to remove SEN provision from those who need it most - those with an EHCP plan, removing SENDIASS support as well as funding from the plans leaving families distraught and stranded all over the UK. Many lawyers don't want you to know what they know; this couldn't be farther from the truth with SEN4You - who work hard to share and to promote that sharing of the legal intricacies of SEN law - which is intimidating to many. Whether you are a parent or an educator - I couldn't recommend the knowledge and legal expertise of SEN4You more. Thank you.

Mark Small of SEN4You is the best of best for any SEN related problems!

Mark Small of SEN4You has made the entire process of fighting for my sons right to specialist education as smooth as can be. He has always kept me informed and updated and explained the process so I could make sense of it all. Mark has always been more than happy to answer my calls if I had any queries even if he was extremely busy or involved in another case. I couldn’t of asked for a more supportive legal representative, mark has always taken my sons case seriously and I have genuinely felt that mark cares about the rights of my son and the injustice it would been to place my son in mainstream education. I would and will happily recommend mark to any one that needs legal support with SEN related problems in the future. Mark would genuinely help anyone that needs support and guidance and I could not of asked for a better solicitor, thanks again mark! Alex kennedy, mother to Isaac.

Best SEN legal Practitioner

It has being a tough journey to navigate through the many obstacles in going through a tribunal with the local authority to be able to provide our son safe access to special education needs.

We achieved everything that we wanted…

We achieved everything that we wanted and have hopefully secured the placement for the long term future of my daughter at a very reasonable cost compared to other quotes we received for the same work. It would be a daunting process without SEN4you to guide us. Brian
