Scott-Moncrieff & Associates Omdömen 

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 consulted with Prakash regarding a potential issue I had with DWP due to creating a trust fund to hold monies from a house sale for my severely mentally ill sister. I was very concerned about how DWP would view these funds in relation to my sister’s benefits and if they would consider it ‘deprivation of capital’.

From the beginning it was clear that Prakash knows the DWP rules and regulations around benefits inside out and that he knows what will be considered when a case is looked into.
He gave me excellent advice on how to create an argument against any challenge from DWP and what to consider when putting my points across. His written and verbal skills are exceptional, having a very clear and logical style, he is able to impart information in a very professional but digestible way.

His written advice gave me such good content and pointers on how to word my evidence. Once DWP reviewed this evidence, they agreed that the Trust Fund was absolutely necessary and there was no attempt at deprivation of capital. I feel that Prakash was a big part of gaining this good outcome.

In addition, when I was stressed, Prakash’s calm way of talking and explaining things reassured me and reduced my anxiety.

I highly recommend Prakash for any Benefits issues you may have and he will always be the first person I go to for any further issues in future as he’s an excellent person to have on your side.

Took 4 payments then just directed me to a government self help site total waste of money do not use.

Terrance Channer took on a court case against the police. Everything was left until the very last minute, and then, without consultation he told the police and the courts that he wished to drop the case.

Please be aware that Fry Law seem to have merged with this organisation, and they are a complete scam. Will drag your case out, nearly running down deadlines and then issuing the case in court with nothing done and no pre-action letter even sent or considered writing. Then still do nothing and leave you without a way forwards. Please choose carefully before instructing this firm and check out the reviews of trust pilot and the never ending people that they let down, after taking on their cases. Quite the opposite of protecting human rights...

I found Errol Archer to be consistently responsive with an in depth knowledge of health and social care regulation and judicial review. Errol and the team at Scott-Moncrieff are flexible, very easy to work with, expressed legal issues in plain language and were focused on adding value to our business.

Errol Archer and his approachable team quickly provided clear advice, within an overall strategy, focused on adding value to our business. Encyclopaedic knowledgeable of health and social care regulations and of judicial review combined with a friendly, flexible and human approach

Took 8 months to do a simple house sell with no ongoing chain. No urgency whatsoever.

Errol was recommended to me by an experienced lawyer with whom I had worked on other matters. The recommendation was a very good one as Errol was perfectly placed to deal with my requirements (the updating and enhancing of terms & conditions for an adult social care operation). The issuing of instructions was a simple process and the negotiation of the fee basis was similarly straightforward. I would have no hesitation in engaging Errol's assistance again in the future.

Errol is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced legal expert. We worked with him on a CQC challenge and local authority dispute. Errol was an immeasurable support, offering much guidance and insight that only his vast experience could provide. For many this is a stressful time, but his calm and assured approach made a huge difference in understanding our position and options.

Would highly recommend Errol and his team and wouldn't hesitate in working with him again.

Errol Archer and his team were approachable, very knowledgeable and quick to respond to our queries. An expert regulatory and public law team whose proven strategies in dealing with CQC and winning tribunal appeals supported our business at a crucial time.
They provided clear legal advice quickly and successfully secured a ‘stay’ of the tribunal appeal proceedings, following extremely thorough and detailed appeal reasons. Errol worked closely with our team, sharing his knowledge of the sector, to agree an effective strategy with us from the outset.

Their flexible and commercial approach delivered a successful outcome for our business. Highly recommended.
