Dedicated, precise and excellent support

My whole Tier 1 Visa transition to ILR was swift thanks to Sally's help, which included for instance calls on Saturday at 7am for urgent appointments and other amazing gestures that went well beyond what one would expect - there was always the intention to go the extra mile and provide the best possible help. Thank you!

Truthful and Trustworthy legal service.

Sally McEwen is the best solicitor that I've ever known. She is a very kind person.

I first met her back in 2016 when I first applied for asylum. I got 1 year refugee status afterward, then 5 years refugee status in 2017 to 2022. She also help me get my travel document ( UK refugee passport ).


She's very attentive!, firm as rock! and sharp as a tack!, she does her best to fight for my rights. Sally is not a time washer like some solicitors that you might have experienced. She's determine to deal with my case. I have to say that she is the most truthful and Trustworthy solicitor that I've known. I'm now carrying an Indefinite Leave to Remain. Thank to her! Without her, it wouldn't have been me today.

I spoke from my real experience with Sally McEwen. I highly recommend OTB Legal services.

Leave To Remain case

My case was a complex one which other solicitors had reviewed with no positive way forward. Sally however was clear, knowledgeable and trustworthy. We knew our case was in safe hands from the get go and we felt confident we would get to the desired outcome in due course.
Sally was wholly professional and empathetic throughout the process, keeping us up-to-date and informed in layman terms. I highly recommended her for immigration cases.

Lydia is very kind, helpful and professional. The advice and suggestions she gave us are very useful. She also helped us to complete the whole process of the visa application step by step so that we will not miss any important information that we need to know. We are very grateful as we had the great assistance of her and her colleagues.

Big thanks to Sally, Lydia, Sam and Caitlyn who helped me with my ILR application. The lawyers are extremely professional, and they did an incredible job. They also cover really well for each other when on holiday/leave. Sally put me at ease at the start, and Lydia and Sam did the same when reviewing my documents. Big thanks to Caitlyn and Sally who kept checking for any outcome related emails and emailing me regularly which helped me manage my anxiety over the outcome. The outcome was successful in the end, for which I am very grateful to the team. I highly recommend OTB!

We have had an outstanding experience working with Sally McEwen and OTB Legal on a successful Tier One Investor Visa Extension application. How I wish we had found OTB when we made our original Visa application! The first firm we worked with provided only a fraction of the service we've received from OTB and was significantly more expensive.

Sally essentially "rescued" us after our first year in the UK when we were attempting to sort out the complex Tier One investment and reporting rules in the absence of any support from the previous firm. She provided calm, expert guidance to help us get back on track and correct a few mistakes we'd made. She is highly experienced, produces meticulous work product and possesses excellent interpersonal skills. She is a genuine pleasure to work with! She's done a brilliant job of keeping us informed at every step of the extension application process and it has been a great relief to know we are in such capable hands. We are very glad to continue working with OTB for our eventual application for ILR/settled status and could not be more pleased with Sally and her firm.
