National Average

This score has been calculated using up to the last 300 reviews left by clients of NLS Solicitors on ReviewSolicitors.

  • Approximately how much did you end up spending for the legal services provided (ignoring disbursements and court fees)
  • Did you think this was underpriced, overpriced or about right?
  • Overall experience

We use data science to amalgamate the answers to these questions and create a ‘ReviewSolicitors score’ out of 100. The above chart representation score is a simple percentage representation of the averaged score across those who have reviewed this law firm.

Unprofessional

Very unprofessional in respect of response to phone calls for simple queries.
Called number on the website several times, simply unavailable, and no one calls back if you leave details and call back telephone number. Best look elsewhere!

Poor communication regarding potential Fiance Visa

I was recommended by my partner's friend who is also disappointed that NLS and Louise Fenney were good immigration solicitors and that they could handle our case. my disappointment comes because prior to instructing them my partner in the Philipinnes Emailed Louise many times for some information and never got a reply even though she had done what Louise advised and gone ahead and got her IELTS B1 English test and Medical ready I did email Louise myself and got one reply however I still tried to Instruct them via E Mail but again got no reply I even Emailed the Office direct and still got no reply. I must say that our initial zoom meeting was very good and we were both very confident but we just needed some further information as other immigration solicitors had said we did not have much of a chance to get the fiance Visa before we Instructed her It waas always was my Intention to Instruct Louise to do our Fiance Visa I leave this review with a heavy heart but feel very dissapointed we was ignored when it is such an important time that you need to feel confident that you are doing the right thing I am sorry but I can not reccomend your Company

Visa Application

I asked NLS to act for me to assist my daughter in law with an application for spouse visa. We did the first application ourselves and didnt complet it correctly. It was rejected and we had wasted the application fee nearley £1500.
I intaially asked NLS to tell me why the application had been rejected, after the great responce and help in a free consultation I asked them to reapply for me. Louise Fenney acted for us, she was great under diffiuclt COVID times, and having the problem of dealing with the home office.
Earleir this week the appliction was granted, and was money well spent. I would reccomend NLS and Louise in person should anybody find themselves needing this kind of assistiance in the future. I will use them again when the application needs to be done again. THANKS NLS

My wife and I had a great experience with NLS solicitors. I am extremely grateful for the help we've received in getting her residence card at the time (2018). Nicholas Webb was extremely helpful, diligent and overall very pleasant.

I can't recommend this firm enough, many thanks indeed!

Aditi and the team at NLS Newport have been AMAZING!
They explained the visa process clearly and guided us to the right visa after I had been stressing and struggling with what route to take for my Australian partner to remain in the UK with our daughter.
Aditi supported us every step of the way, completing our application for us and ensuring we included all the required information whist working under a tight deadline before my partners current visa expired over the Christmas period.
Our visa has been granted already and we are so thankful for all the help and support from Aditi and NLS Newport team.
Would highly recommend.
Thank you!! :)
