Graeme was very helpful in answering some complicated questions related to Tier 2 visas/getting ILR. He is very knowledgable and responds very quickly - would highly recommend!

Excellent Service for Entrepreneur Visa and ILR application

5

I’ve been engaging with Ellison Solictors, specifically Graeme and Meenal for the last few years, and they have provided a very thorough and high quality service for my visa application under the Tier 1 Entrepreneur route. I had quite a complex case, with a business that was impacted due to COVID and corresponding travel disruptions as well, which were difficult to navigate. Meenal’s timely and dedicated support on the case was instrumental and I honestly would not have been able to manage this process with her and Graeme’s inputs. I have now received my ILR, which is a testament to the collective effort

Outstanding support and communication

5

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Meenal and Graeme at Ellisons. Excellent communication, legal knowledge is second to none and service definitely par excellence. They make an effort to understand the client's needs and equally to explain the legal requirements thoroughly, which means there is always complete alignment. Would use again and recommend to others.

Quality and Speed all around

Wonderful experience with Graeme and Meenal. They gave me invaluable guidance and were quick to handle the case, given the time crunch I was in. I'll definitely recommend them every chance I get.

Professional and courteous service

4

We retained Ellisons for our Naturalisation application. We’re very pleased with the turnaround of our application and the due diligence by the team. Mr. Greame Kirk and Ms. Ria Dexter were excellent and prompt to respond to all our needs. Our application was submitted within two weeks of retaining them. We had no further requests from the Home Office, which is a testament to their professionalism and legal expertise. We were referred to Mr. Kirk by a friend and wouldn’t hesitate to refer him.

Excellent Service

5

I really appreciate all the support I received when I has no lawyers to handle my case. I cried to Mr Kirk and he listened with empathy and handles my case in the most elegant, honest and professional way. He made me feel comfortable and gave me hope. He is like a father, I really appreciate him.
Ms Meenal dealt with my renewal. She is a sweet lady. She is a caring lawyer.
You are both a blessing. Thank you for wiping away my tears and also making me laugh today. You mean so much to me. Best firm.

I had a very good experience, while working with Graeme Kirk,
Senior Counsel from the Imigration Department and his team on getting my documents. I have worked with Graeme for the last 6 years on all my immigration status and was always happy with the process and the outcome. He is very knowledgeable and professional. I would highly recommend him to others.
