1st Rate Service

Melissa recently acted on behalf of my wife and I to renew my wife's UK visa. Having returned from Australia to the UK in 2021, my wife was on a 10 year route to UK citizenship.
At the 2 and a 1/2 year mark, Melissa successfully arranged the renewal and got us onto a 5 year route instead. Melissa was professional, courteous and timely throughout the entire process and would thoroughly recommend her services to anyone that might need them.

Exceptional Service - Highly Recommended!

I have been using Sydney Mitchell Solicitors for the past seven years, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. My solicitor, André, assisted me with four different applications during this time, and each one had a positive outcome. André was incredibly professional, friendly, and always made me feel at ease throughout the entire process.

What impressed me most was how smoothly everything went. Thanks to André’s attention to detail and dedication, the decisions for each application were received in record time and without any hassle. His expertise and proactive approach made all the difference, and I’m truly grateful for his support. If you need a reliable, effective, and personable solicitor, I highly recommend André at Sydney Mitchell Solicitors!

Best lawyer I've ever dealt with

Andre has become a literal angel in our lives. Our case was complex and needed a very detailed and careful approach to compiling the vast amounts of paperwork and getting the application just right. I've dealt with many lawyers in my life and I can honestly say that Andre is the best I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He truly cares about his clients and he is robust and earnest in his approach to the case in hand. I burst into tears of joy when he called me to say that our adopted daughter had finally been issued her visa, and I could sense that his eyes were welling up too. This is what everyone needs in an immigration lawyer - someone who truly cares; who knows exactly what he's doing; and who keeps his eye on the ball around the clock. We couldn't have asked for more and I can not recommend Andre highly enough.

Your kind words about his commitment to his clients mean a lot to us. Thank you for highly recommending Andre; it’s clients like you that make our work so rewarding!

Andre Minnaar- An experience and personable solicitor

Thank-you Andre for your expertise in assisting with our immigration matter. I chose you to deal with a highly complex matter that had been dealt with unjustly by the Home Office, due to your personable and friendly nature. I was assured from our first telephone call that our case would be dealt with professionally and I was not disappointed.

You checked in with us often and that was much appreciated. We got the result we wanted, even if it took three years! I would recommend Andre to deal with any immigration matter. Rest assured, you will be in good hands. Thank you, Andre.
