Mark was amazing from beginning to end. I don't think we would have been able to win our case without his help. I would highly recommend his legal service. Thanks for everything!

Mark was brilliant. He went above and beyond to support us and take us through the whole appeal process. We can now sleep at night assured that our daughter is now going to get the right support to give her a chance to gain an education that otherwise would not have been possible without Baker Small.

We engaged Mark to help us after it became clear that we had reached an impasse with the local authority who were delaying naming a secondary school, (let alone the only suitable one) leaving our son without any Secondary School placement. From the first discussion with Mark we knew we had made the right decision. He asked for a meeting and suggested we bring our son along to meet him. This took place expediently at his Bletchley Park office, where we were immediately impressed with Mark’s knowledge and grasp the workings of SEN law, and his obvious interest in getting to know both us and our son. His parting words were to reassure us we had a strong case and he gave us his mobile number in order to call him any time, even if just for peace of mind. In the following months he regularly kept in touch whilst the local authority continued to delay. With this continued inaction it became clear that we were likely to go all the way to tribunal. Mark dealt with correspondence from the LA, helped us initiate a multitude of up to date specialist reports and prepared the court papers. On the day itself Mark made everything as stress-free as he possibly could, belaying any of our worries or nerves. We could tell he was clearly well respected within the court system, if not a little feared! In the end Mark made sure that not only did we win our case, but that the chances of the local authority wriggling out at a later date would be minimised. Without Mark we may well have fallen victim to the local authority’s tricks and certainly would not have obtained the excellent result we did. Mark is passionate, caring and knowledgeable - both in SEN law and in the policy and behaviour of the local authority. We would not hesitate in recommending him, indeed we have already done so! Thankyou Mark and SEN4You team.

If you require legal assistance for anything relating to your child's educational needs, then you really need look no further than Mark Small. Mark represented us in two separate cases, one in particular was grueling and complex. We won both. Mark is a superb solicitor. You will receive accurate advice, and he is also passionate about SEN, and it shows. Mark worked very closely with us. He supported us through some very difficult times. What is even more impressive is that he took so much time to work around us, evening phone calls, weekend meetings, and working quickly and accurately against tight deadlines. His representation at tribunal is first class. Written work is excellent and highly effective. I really don't know where we would be without Mark Small. Five stars!!!

Mark is an extremely thorough and competent solicitor. The way he conducted himself in our hearing was not only impressive but filled us both with a confidence we needed in such daunting circumstances. We have no hesitation in recommending Mark to any other parents that feel their provision is not right for their child and are prepared to fight for it. Mark has given our son a real chance to reach his potential and hopefully prepare him for a more fulfilled adulthood. Thank you Mark we are both eternally grateful.

We sought advice from Mark regarding an SEN appeal concerning our son. Mark worked tirelessly on our case and secured us a specialist school. Mark took all the stress out of the process and managed all dealings with our LA. He was brilliant in all respects and if you need legal advice and representation Mark is the man to go to! Thank you!

Would definitely recommend. Delighted with the outcome, you secured the school our son needed, the therapy needed and the 1-1 Support. Thank you

Decision just in... won on all grounds. Mark you are a star. I know it was a horrible case and the Local Authority did their best to intimidate us all. You maintained your professionalism in trying circumstances and protected us from their vile behaviour. Because of your support and advice you have given our son an incredible opportunity in his new school with support and therapies that he had been denied. I am so glad you were on our side. Thank you very much!

We instructed Mark in an SEN appeal. We were trying to get a specialist placement for our daughter. The whole process had been awful and stressful. Enter Mark. He put us at ease straight away and reassured us about our case. He managed the whole process expertly. The Local Authority conceded the appeal and this was due to the excellent work Mark did in preparing the case. Now our daughter is happy and this is all thanks to Mark. I cannot thank him for enough.

Absolutely tremendous support and advice from Mark. He worked so hard to get us the support our son needed and gave up so much time to us often outside working hours. He was approachable and he never gave us any jargon. He told us what we had to do, he explained weaknesses, he presented a robust case and in the end we won a specialist placement which will make a difference for our son. In fact its life changing. As a family we were in a miserable place, Mark gave us back our life and a chance for our son to do well. One word, fabulous.
