Professional
My husband and I are very happy and grateful to Mr. Steve Foley as a highly competent lawyer. He is well-versed in all details and meticulous in his feedback and document organization. He has been our lawyer for years, helping us with asylum, and now I've obtained ILR under the 10-year long residence route . He's extremely cooperative, courteous, always offering excellent advice. He responds quickly, even during holidays, providing moral support. I'm thankful to him and highly recommend using Steve for immigration matters because of his expertise. I won't hesitate to contact him in the future for his services as he handled my case promptly and with great professionalism. Thank you Steve and to all BH Solicitors team.

Exemplary
Steve was very professional, understanding, courteous and approachable.
Throughout the whole process of our visa appeal I was made aware of what would be happening and when.
I would highly recommend Steve Foley and Bankfield Heath Solicitors for any immigration issues that you may have.
The ASA that Steve collated and later sent was exemplary and from the moment I read it I felt very confident of a positive outcome.
I cant thank Steve enough for his great work and attention to detail.
You have made me and my family very happy. Thank you so very much.

You are a star!
My immigration journey was a rollercoaster but thanks to Steve Foley and Bankfield heath Solicitors team for their professionalism in working on my case. It was a hard battle but it is a victory. Steve Foley, you are a star! You never up on my case and worked so hard to keep me updated regarding my asylum claim. You took up my case at Judiciary stage and you changed my life by making sure we defeated the Home office. Your genuine kindness, humble and courage to others will always lead you to brightest future. All the best Steve. I will always recommend you and Bankfield heath Solicitors team to anybody. The receptionist at Woodseat road Sheffield branch (Natassia), she is so lovely and her smile is infectious. She always updated me with my claim. All the best Natassia. Finally, Bankfield heath Solicitors thanks for representing me for the past FOUR years and never give up on me. You are my strength and thanks for making sure my leave to remain successful. Stay bless and long live Bankfield heath Solicitors. Cheers!

Exceeded my expectations
I also want to thank you for your hard work as you helped me a lot with my case and finally I will be able to lead a new life here in the UK. The service you provided exceeded my expectations. My friends were speechless when I told them about it, it was totally different experience comparing to them. They had to chase their solicitors for updates, they have been ignored many times and even had to contact the Home Office themselves for updates and enquiries. But you were completely the opposite as you were always available when you were needed, you replied as fast as you can to my enquiries and chased the Home Office in my behalf for updates. I wish you a very good luck and I will definitely seek Bankfield Heath’s for advice when my residency permit expire as you proved to be reliable and efficient.
