I want to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding support I’ve received so far from Rachel Scales at Scomo. My case involves a education dispute with the Local Authority regarding my son’s EHCP and specialist provision, and Rachel has been nothing short of incredible so far.

From day one, she has shown genuine commitment, deep understanding of education law, and an impressive level of organisation. She responds quickly, explains things clearly, and makes sure I fully understand every step we’re taking.

Her attention to detail is exactly what you need when dealing with a challenging LA and a complicated SEND case. What makes Rachel stand out is not just her professionalism, but her compassion.

She treats my case with the seriousness and care it deserves, and her guidance has given me confidence during a very stressful time for my family.

If you’re dealing with a difficult education matter or any SEND-related issues, I highly recommend Rachel Scales. Her dedication and expertise have already made a huge difference to my case.

In 2021 Rachel Scales helped me with the LA, as regards my autistic son, re writing the EHCP, which at the time was not first for purpose, represented him at Tribunal and took a lot of the stress away from me. Following her help, my son is now in fantastic school.

This October 2025, my son had a EHCP review and the LA were attending with the view of relocating my son. So I asked Rachel to attend the review, representing my son again, her SEN knowledge, questions of the school, LA are second to none. Her remarks and observations were duly noted and it is all now in my sons EHCP as the LA agreed to all the points, changes requested. Fantastic result!

I was able to speak to Rachel (Education Lawyer) very soon after making the request. The advice was clear and concise but most of all it's great to know that someone that knows what they're talking about is on my side

I cannot thank Rachel Scales and Dan Rosenberg enough for their outstanding support and legal representation through one of the most difficult experiences of my life. Their expertise, compassion, and strategic approach gave my child and I a voice when we felt completely sidelined by a system that failed us.

Rachel's steady communication and clarity throughout this process helped me stay focused, and Dan's honest and strategic advice gave me the confidence to make difficult decisions with clarity. Both of their attention to detail and consistent communication helped us feel grounded and supported, and gave us the ability to cut through the noise of an exhausting education dispute. Their combined effort led to a successful reintegration of my child back into school - something I wasn’t sure would be possible.

I have been working with Rachel Scales now for the last year, and two of her colleagues before that. I have nothing but praise for the job they do.

Rachel is kind, efficient and a great communicator. She is able to explain things to me in a way that works for me. She always does what she says she is going to do, in spite of this only being under Legal Help, not a private arrangement.

Like her two colleagues before her, she works incredibly hard and always makes time to talk when things happen. Her team is also fantastic.

I definitely recommend Simpson Millar for SEN education matters.

Clear and prompt advice and direction on my daughters EHCP appeal. Following an initial call with Rachel Scales a comprehensive plan was established which was then carefully and successfully delivered by Elisa Jenkins, resulting in a successful outcome from the EHCP appeal hearing, 5 months ahead of the Tribunal initial date.
