Excellent guidance on my confusing Skilled Worker visa matter

Rita provided clear and professional guidance on my confusing and stressful visa discrepancy matter. She explained multiple options thoroughly, was mindful of my timeline and financial constraints, and offered flexible payment arrangements. Her expertise in immigration law made navigating this situation much more manageable.

Outstanding Service from Jayne and Jo

From my initial call to the conclusion of what turned out to be a long and challenging process, Jayne Harrison and Jo Miller provided nothing short of exceptional service. They were not only highly professional but also compassionate and understanding throughout, which made a very difficult situation far more manageable.

Both Jayne and Jo demonstrated great expertise and resilience in the face of some tough challenges, always keeping me informed and making sure I felt supported at every step. Their dedication and commitment truly set them apart.

I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance. You’ll be in safe, capable hands.

A client

When you are being prosecuted you need to hire someone who knows the law well enough to represent you so that you don't get hit even harder that you deserve.
It happens all the time, the (throwing the book at you method). The book hurts.
The police and CPS like to escalate charges.
If you don't have a representative who knows what might happen.
I had a solicitor from another firm before, same case. His representation was discontinued and I hired a lady from Richard Nelson LLP.
She made sure the law remained honest, I was given a consequence that matched my offence not a hugely escalated sentence that would have been unfair.
She knows things like what sentencing guidelines the court are empowered with and made a point to the court that they accepted which otherwise would have left me in a position where I would no doubt have been prosecuted again in future.
Eve Paterson skillfully negotiated the safe zone between there should be a consequence and escalated charges to make it sound worse than it was.
In my very humble opinion,if you are going into a courtroom without her good luck.
But if I had a choice I would use Richard Nelson.
Eve if possible.

Mark was my solicitor and he was diligent, patient, and compassionate in handling my case. I was nervous about the process but he put me at ease as he was friendly and approachable but still professional.
His communication was clear and concise. He explained the process thoroughly and responded to any questions I had quickly and in a way I would understand. I am really happy with the service I received and would highly recommend Mark and Richard Nelson's to anyone.

Victoria Rees was great in her diligence in helping me to provide what was needed for the process when all my instincts kept moving towards much too personal reflections. She bore with me when I would think of something which I thought was important and immediately include it in an email. This made her life more difficult in processing all the information I was giving her. She pushed me to be more remorseful in my reflections when I would hold back because of shame. Thank you Victoria for the time and energy you took in knocking me into shape.

I was very impressed by the proffessional and friendly service I received at all times. Communication was always prompt and clear and I felt totally satisfied that I was in "good hands". It was also very refreshing to receive a fixed price for the legal services I received right at the beginning. I would highly reccemmend this company to others.
