Qaisar of Winckworth Sherwood was recommended to me so I instructed him to help with my son’s SEN tribunal appeal against my local authority. He did a great job for me over the course of 10 months, liaising with the local authority, my son’s school and many independent experts. Qaisar was a good listener and communicator. He navigated this tricky area of law and enabled us as a family to achieve all desired outcomes for my son incorporating a comprehensive and robust EHCP. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Professional, knowledgeable and approachable
We have worked with Qaisar on a number of occasions and cannot recommend him highly enough for the support offered. He is extremely knowledgeable in the field and always goes above and beyond expectations in terms of getting us the right support - often working out of hours! In the legal minefield we have found him to be a reassuring and friendly voice - no question is silly - responses are quick!

Outstanding first class service
Yes, I would recommend Winckworth Sherwood LLP.
Qaisar helped me secure a place at a specialist independent school for my son, who has special needs. We were up against my local county council and faced many hurdles, as they were adamant that my son couldn’t attend his chosen school—the only one that could meet all his needs—due to cost.
Without Qaisar Sheikh’s help and continual support, my son would never have won his place at our chosen school and would most likely never have returned to a school setting.
My son is now thriving and has completely transformed as a person. He is happy, confident, and attends school daily, where he is learning and making new friends.
None of this would have been possible without Qaisar’s legal support, as navigating the SEN legal system is a minefield on your own.
Qaisar helped me understand every step of the process, explaining everything clearly. I would not hesitate to recommend him—my son is living proof that his services are first-class and unbeatable.

Exceptional Pro Bono Support from Qaiser in Family Law Case
I recently had the pleasure of working with Qaiser, a solicitor who generously provided pro bono assistance in a complex family law matter concerning child access. From the very beginning, Qaiser demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge and an extraordinary level of understanding. He went above and beyond to help, offering both practical advice and emotional support during an incredibly challenging time in my life.
Throughout the process, I often found myself overwhelmed and unable to think clearly. However, Qaiser's calm and logical perspective helped me navigate the legal intricacies with confidence. His dedication and commitment to my case were evident, and I am incredibly grateful for all the hard work he invested.
Thanks to Qaiser's exceptional guidance, I achieved an outcome in court that was far better than I had ever imagined. I am exceptionally happy with the results and cannot express enough gratitude for Qaiser's invaluable support. If you are in need of a solicitor who truly cares and goes the extra mile, I wholeheartedly recommend Qaiser.

Excellent support
We were required to attend a SEND tribunal, a daunting process having never been through this before. Qaisar was thoughtful, understanding and empathetic from the start. He understood our thoughts and feelings, and proved to gather information about our case, challenging us and helping us to prepare thoroughly. He was honest and forthright throughout allowing us to accurately consider all options and make informed decisions. I would highly recommend Qaisar to anyone in a similar situation.

Highly skilled SEN and discrimination specialist
I have known Qaisar in a professional capacity for over 10 years and have always been impressed by the quality of his work and his work ethic. When a family member required assistance to secure special educational provision, he was my first port of call. He worked tirelessly on this challenging case and secured a brilliant outcome for my family member. I recommend him often to others and cannot speak of him highly enough.
