Mark Lilley-Tams excellent lawyer and OTB the best Solicitor company.

5

I am so pleased to share my best experience I had with Mark Lilley Tams, the solicitor who dealt with my case.
I was registered as a Kosovan when I made a claim, with different name, surname, date of birth and place of birth. I had indefinite leave to remain with all these false details as I’m originally from Albania. Mark has supported me dealing with the Home Office and in less then 6 months I received my Biometric Card with my correct details and indefinite leave in the UK.
I recommend Mark to everyone as he is one of the best solicitor in the UK.

Great advisors

5

I recently worked with OBT Legal for advice on my spouse visa application, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the service I received. From the very start, Mark and the team were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. They took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and provided clear, insightful guidance that made the entire process much smoother.

Their expertise and attention to detail gave me great confidence throughout the application process, and I felt fully supported every step of the way. I highly recommend OBT Legal to anyone in need of reliable and expert legal advice. Thank you, OBT Legal, for your outstanding service!

Amazing service, best I have ever received from an immigration lawyer.

5

Mark is an amazing solicitor, very kind, and goes out of his ways to help. He is extremely organised and always put the need of his clients first and goes above and beyond. Please use his service as it is genuinely worth it. I have many use many immigration solicitors in the past and they have been so rubbish and unorganised whereas Mark and his team are heavily focused on the clients needs. Thank you again to Mark and his team.

My experience with Mark was wonderful. After having the visa of my mum rejected, we gave Mark her case. She advised us how to apply for an administrative review and also gave us the porcentaje of approval, and we got it approved!

"From the first telephone conversation you were very helpful and honest about the strength of case I had and possible outcomes. I found the whole process stress free due to your input and in the end was very pleased with the outcome which was far more than I had hoped for. I would recommend your services to friends and family if they ever have immigration problems in the future ! Many thanks to Mark Lilley-Teams .

Mark was accommodating with my immigration status and queries, after contacting so many lawyers that were not willing to help me or try and understand my position. Mark has honestly been very supportive and guided me well on my personal matter which will now be resolved very soon. Thanks Mark
