Outstanding Support from Riverway Law and Mr. Fahad Ansari

5

I recently had the privilege of working with Riverway Law, a niche immigration and nationality law practice based in South London, and I couldn't be more pleased with the exceptional service I received.

My solicitor, Mr. Fahad Ansari, helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life. Not only is he a true professional in his field, but he also dedicated his time and expertise to my case.

Mr. Ansari provided me with invaluable advice, communicated with me every step of the way, and ensured that I was well-informed and supported throughout the process. His professionalism, expertise, and unwavering commitment made a significant difference, and I am incredibly grateful for everything the firm has done for me.

I cannot recommend Riverway Law and Mr. Fahad Ansari enough to anyone who is looking for immigration and nationality legal services. Their exceptional service and dedication to their clients truly set them apart.

Thank you once again for everything.

I faced many visa refusals for a good number of 6 years I almost gave up that I will never have a chance of visiting my wife's family until a good friend of mine recommended Fahad Ansari, she said he is one of the best lawyers in the UK, when we talked to him he was more than willing to take up our case, with just one shot we were successful, now I have join my wife in Blackpool. Fahad is the 👌

Riverway Law and Mr Ansari dealt with my case in the most dedicated and professional manner imaginable.

Their commitment and expertise were extremely reassuring, especially during the difficult times with which my case presented me.

I came across several solicitors before Riverway Law, and my genuine advice to those in search of legal representation is that you will seldom find anyone more sincere and capable fighting your corner.

Over the last few years we have instructed Riverway Law several times in relation to immigration matters for our firm's employees. We have always found them to be friendly, responsive and efficient.

We have been to other law firms before but our experience with Riverway is far superior to what we have seen with other companies.

We have had several dealings with Mr Ansari, the head of the firm. His depth of knowledge is incredible and the breadth of experience which he brings to cases is astonishing. He is also up to date with the latest developments in the news with respect to new laws.

He regularly appears in the media. We feel proud when we see our solicitor appear in the news!

Once he gets hold of an issue he keeps holding on until he gets for his clients the result they need.

There was a time when we were struggling to get some information out of the Home Office Lunar House in Croydon. With Mr Ansari's help we were able to get through to the correct department and get the information we needed.

Instruct with confidence, Riverway Law are well worth every penny you pay for. And more.

Thank you!

Mr Fahad Ansari, people have spoken of your professionalism and your dedication as a solicitor, which goes without question.
What makes you so special from all the rest is your passion, your belief in justice and human rights, this lights a fire in your belly which makes you fight to the bitter end.

We never felt alone or desperate in our battle with you by our side, you were always there and gave us justice that we thought we would never get, you gave us hope, after having spent the previous 12 years with other solicitors and going nowhere until you took on our case.
Your knowledge and research of human rights laws surpasses most others in your field, you got us the result we needed that others said it was impossible.

There are no words that we can say that would thank you enough for what you have done for us.
You gave us our right to family life and peace of mind, we are forever in your debt.

From our experience we can highly recommend Mr Fahad Ansari of Riverway Law.
