Arona Sarwar

As an LGBTQ+ asylum seeker, the search for help is one of the scariest things you’ll ever face. You’re not just hunting for a lawyer: you’re searching for someone who understands your fears and will stand up for your right to live. For me, as a tomboy, that need felt even more urgent. I was fortunate to discover Arona St James Solicitors. From my very first interaction with them, two things stood out: their sharp legal knowledge and their genuine compassion. They never treated me like paperwork; they treated me like a human being who simply wanted safety and a chance to build a future. They navigated the complex asylum process with precision and care. Arona herself assured me she could advocate for me, and she delivered on that promise beyond my hopes. Her team, including the wonderful volunteer Maria, worked tirelessly, even over a weekend, to prepare my case. I was thrilled to be able to instruct a firm that is diverse and represents the community and in my way support and promote a female run firm with huge insight into hate that exists these days. I fully standby BAME practices - and for me Arona St James solicitors in immigration work shine those 5 stars for me and more for their support and expertise. I always will appreciate the work that led to me having a safe future, now I will work and contribute in a positive way. Yesterday, the outcome I had prayed for finally arrived: my asylum was granted. The relief is indescribable. Now I can look forward to a safe future, contribute positively, and live authentically. To my siblings still fighting this fight: don’t settle for less. Find representation that knows your struggles and won’t give up on you. For me, that was Arona St James Solicitors, and I believe they can be that for you too. 🌈🥰🫶 #QueerAsylum #tomboy #Femboy #trans #Granted #AsylumWin #LondonSolicitor #LGBTRightsUK #AsylumSeeker

HIGHLY recommend Arona St James Solicitors for their probate services they gave me exceptional private client services. EXTREMELY impressed, splendid people to deal with, Arona & Gillian always got back to me, nothing was too much trouble. I had just lost my late mother and Gillian Hutchfull really helped me through the process of dealing with the Probate. It was made seamless and the tax position was clarified, easing my mind as an executor, the next steps were clear which lead me through a difficult time. They were absolutely AMAZING. I completely trusted their sound judgement and they made the process so much easier due to their professional standards and the expertise Gillian showed with great understanding and a very sympathetic service. I felt supported by all the staff, they answered my questions replied to my emails / calls and their advice was easy to follow.

I cannot recommend Arona and her team highly enough. After previously managing my own applications and making a rookie mistake that led to unnecessary delays, I entrusted my case to Arona, and it was the best decision. The process was handled seamlessly, with a high level of professionalism and expertise from start to finish. The service, knowledge, and expertise are truly unmatched.
