They werent as helpful as youd expect and they did not engage in my case as much as they should have although I paid as much as they asked for. I felt as if I was abandoned by them and now Im deported.

Called 786 for immigration matter and I meet Syed before pandemic. I had a family immigration matter to discuss with him and he was always helpful. I highly recommend their solicitors and they managed to solve my immigration matter as soon as the pandemic was over. We are very happy with how this matter was solved and we got the Visa. He is highly recommended as a solicitor.
