Lucy Atherton

"Lucy from Simpson Millar was exactly what we needed after a highly distressing situation enacted from a school institution our daughter was attending. Where others failed to see our plight and told us it was better to suck it up, Lucy understood our motivations and saw opportunities on how to defend our position in the matter. She quickly took to work and was able to devise a clear and concise plan that was both realistic and strategic to our fight. She explained everything clearly and demonstrated deep and knowledgable command of the legal landscape to operate in. Her fees were upfront with no hidden surprises. When Lucy went on Parental leave she communicated this upfront in the first instance and ensured that this did not affect our timelines. Cover was provided and the entire company felt like a well oiled machine. We got a good outcome in the end and this was principally due to Lucy's great work in pushing hard to obtain the result we needed. Thanks Lucy!"

"Great Team - Supportive and Professional. The help we needed was very specific and we were assisted by a knowledgeable & kind team of professionals. Lucy Atherton and her team worked with us to provide a clear legal overview of our situation, along with a specific legal precedent that applied to our case. This has been a very tough experience and Simpson Millar helped us to navigate through this difficult time."

"EHCP Now Fully Funded. I needed help with my daughter's EHCP, which was not being funded correctly by our LA. Lucy advised us to begin Tribunal proceedings, and her expert advice plus her amends to our daughter's EHCP made such a huge difference, both to the support she will now get, and to the level of funding she is entitled to. The LA have conceded to full funding without us needing to go to a Tribunal hearing. I'm confident that would not have happened if we hadn't had Lucy working with us. I will definitely be using Simpson Millar again for advice on my other child's EHCP."
