Excellence & Kindness

5

Rita Kotecha is a superb UKVI lawyer who helped me obtain my UK partner visa (from outside the UK). She is knowledgeable about all aspects of visa and immigration law and was prompt in responding to my concerns. Rita was incredibly patient and compassionate throughout the process. I highly recommend Rita to anyone looking for competent and caring visa counsel. During what was undoubtedly one of the most challenging times of my life, Rita Kotecha proved to be an invaluable support. Very Grateful for her.

I would highly recommend Rita as a solicitor for anyone dealing with immigration matters. She guided me through the spouse visa application process for my wife with exceptional professionalism and care. From the start, Rita made sure I understood every requirement, and she was always available to answer any questions, no matter how small. Her attention to detail and dedication made the whole process feel manageable, and her expertise was invaluable in securing a positive outcome. I am incredibly grateful for her support and would not hesitate to work with her again. Thank you, Rita!

I was at my wits end when I contacted Rita Kotecha. She helped us to find my missing husband's visa which had been going on for months with the Home Office. She was a strong investigator and worked with good communication and professionalism. Thank you, Rita!

We have known Rita for the past two and half years whilst she’s been helping us with my wife’s visa application
I must say I wouldn’t have had anyone else deal with this than Rita because we worked well together as Rita explained all she needed from us in plain English
I would recommend Rita to anyone who is thinking about sorting out a visa application
I certainly will be using Rita for our last application for Remain to leave visa
Thankyou Rita it’s been a pleasure working with you see you soon

My wife and I have gone to Rita twice now for my wife's spouse visa and its renewal. Both times Rita has very clearly communicated what is required from us and has answered any questions we have had.
