"The level of expertise that is presented and the way inclusivity is attended to, are extraordinary and filled me with delight that a solicitor would show such passion and generosity."

***

" Go to Douglas's website first. You'll find all the information you need laid out in a workmanlike uncomplicated manner."

***

" I found the factsheets useful and informative especially for the parents that face difficulties with their son's/daughter's SEN.  I think the factsheets empower the parents to stand for their SEN children and take the steps necessary to tackle the issues.

I appreciate your willingness in helping and providing the information through the factsheets and applaud you for that.  Thank you very much indeed."

***

" You offer an impressive service to the special needs community."

***

" Simply knowing there is a sympathetic ear 'out there' is hugely reassuring for "SEN Parents" who seem to spend their whole lives fighting the very system that should be be supporting them and their children. And even more galling when, like me, they are adopters often from the very same authority which now chooses to turn a deaf ear..."

***

" I always tell people how brilliant Douglas is, especially other lawyers!"

***

" I don't know of anyone or any organisation working so tirelessly and unselfishly. If it can be done you know who will do it. Even when it seems impossible. And it isn't just moral support, it's practical and sensible and makes you feel you are not alone."

***

" The best resource for parents with SEN children"

***

" It’s the most accessible site I use"

***

" Your website is a very true presentation of the people who work at Douglas Silas Solicitors - they are informative and very efficient."

***

"Douglas Silas is simply the best SEN solicitor operating in the UK today. His website is more than just a business window or a source of information - it has become a National Resource for SEN parents. His passion and commitment to helping SEN children is breathtaking."

***

" Really impressed at how the site explains concepts and gives information. The language and overall tone are perfect."

***

"Thank you very much for your website - it is simply wonderful to know that there are Professionals who passionately care about our children's Rights."

***

In my professional practice, and personally, I see everyday how parents battle with local authorities to obtain appropriate services. The information on your website is extremely useful and is written in a language that parents can understand.

I have no hesitation in recommending your website to others."

***

"The information on your website is enormously helpful and as you say, knowledge is empowering.

From a very grateful parent."

***

"Had a look at your website today and I think it's incredible. Very informative and extremely useful. (Even if I don't have kids). The voice reading the text is a brilliant idea and it's the first time I've been on a site where such technology has been used. Keep up the excellent work!"

***

"What a fantastic website, it is fantastic and so user friendly, even a computer idiot like me can get around it and that will make it hugely popular with parents. I have signed up for your course, can I recommend it to others? I wish you and your whole practice good luck in all your endeavours."

***

"I would like to say that the information I have been able to access for free from your website is invaluable and all of it has been of great use. I intend to tell everyone I know."

***

(From a Specialist Teacher)
"I have just been directed to your website by a colleague.
I found it very inspiring and a rich source of information for both parents and professionals."

***

"I hope you don't mind, but I have put a link to your site [on my website] as a valuable resource. I received many of your emails and they really helped, not only with information but with giving me confidence that I was doing the right thing."

***

" It is in a language that most parents can understand."

***

"Go here for honest, professional, direct and informed advice."

***

"Open and helpful information to enable people to decide if your service is right for them; this is very refreshing from a solicitor. You keep all in education well informed. Keep doing what you are doing."

***

"Just to let you know I found your whole website very useful and the Factsheets I downloaded were excellent and helpful. The message that comes across is that you are there to help with no pressure to enrol your services unless necessary. I have already recommended your site to a friend of mine and I doubt that she will be the only one I recommend it to."

***

“The information that I was able to successfully download from your site will, I am sure become my first point of reference in our shared quest - ie: "All children or people with SEN or Disability receive the right educational provision.

Because of your stated beliefs and assistance I will, if required, be advising [a family I am helping] to contact your company for any legal representation they may require. With gratitude and highest regard.”

***

"Douglas - have you cloned yourself? Thanks for all you are doing. I have referred countless people having difficulty to your web site. It is phenomenal."
