Went into axis today took our case months ago to them should have taken weeks to do the case but the immigration case was a mess our statements were reworded and said things we didnt agree with the evidence reduced to nothing by case worker head of firm saying send it all cover letter had so many mistakes factual errors in both first and second copies tried months ago to raise it felt they could not see thier own mistakes did not understand my issues over the quality of work produced looked rushed and not fit to send dealing with them caused anxiety today had meeting head of firm shouting at us this had to go today that they had done a complete job tried to say it cant go today tried to explain what was wrong with the work as head of firm asked but she would not let us answer we kept saying if you can be quiet for five minutes we will explain but she would not stop shouting then turned to my partner saying you think the work is fit to go dont you he stated if my partner has a valid point something not right then it cant go was told it goes at end of day or you find another solicitor then head of firm walked out partner wanted to leave as soon as head of firm shouted case worker was trying to get us to look over documents to try get the case out we said you cannot push us to sending it today if we think its not upto scratch we asked for the second copy of a cover letter to take home look at and was told no by head of firm so we have left this firm never have we been treat so badly we said the clients opinions should matter we may have something valid to raise we are not expecting work our way but work has to be correct factually and if you can see mistakes correct them that is all we felt this was not being done the work took too many months it had many mistakes which were raised with the head of the firm and even she told the case worker to correct it initially we have never been treat like this the way the head of firm acted today shouting not stopping for breath not letting us talk or answer her questions the experience has left us both shaken
We asked for an appointment to case worker four days waiting for an email back saying a date but when we then rang the firm wasim got an appointment for us in ten minutes wasim listens he asks what the problem is he tried to mediate
This firm charge thousands yet the quality of thier work is way below parr and they are prepared to send it like that they cannot even spot thier mistakes and when asked to correct them they say we just want it our way mistakes that could cost us in our application we have had to spend our time going over all thier work checking it correcting it and to pay so much money and be shouted at like that is very unprofessional i would not recommend them to anyone there are cheaper and much better out there

We appreciate the feedback however you should understand that we are an experienced and professional firm who deal with immigration matters on a daily basis. The application was prepared to a professional standard and was ready to submit. You failed to understand the difference between an appeal and an application. Your appointment was booked on numerous occasions however you were cancelling the appointment due to your own reasons. With regards to charging thousands, your statement is false as you only paid one initial instalment (paid just over 10% of the agreed fees) and we did all the required work (application completed, 3 drafts done after 5 meetings with you whereby you spent over an hour with our senior solicitors) for you by spending a lot of our time with you without any further fees. Your view on the service is merely your disagreement with our professional advice. If you read our reviews they speak for themselves as we treat our client’s as a family and they are equally important to us. Lastly, we wish you all the best in the future

She is welcoming and Approachable, easy to talk to and reachable on the telephone. She works very smart and effective for a person who has only "2 years experiece" as a lawyer, as she help my partner to get his Residence Permit within 9 month as promised.

Faret, Sana and Wasim were so good and throughout the entire process, they treated me with utmost respect and provided honest suggestions that were invaluable. Their level of legal knowledge and expertise amazed me, making the process of obtaining my skilled worker visa stress-free and seamless. I wholeheartedly appreciate their dedication and would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal assistance. Thank you for a job well done!

Sponsor Licence: I am delighted to share my incredible journey with Axis Solicitors, a law firm that has truly exceeded my expectations. With their unwavering support, my company successfully acquired a sponsorship licence for skilled workers, and to my amazement, we received it within a couple of weeks, without the need for a Home Office interview or visit. The entire process was seamless, thanks to their expert guidance and clear instructions.

I must extend a heartfelt appreciation to Miss Faret Bibi, the dedicated professional who handled my case with utmost care and precision. Faret's attention to detail and commitment made all the difference in ensuring a smooth and successful outcome.

I wholeheartedly recommend Axis Solicitors to anyone seeking visa-related services. Their expertise and personalised approach set them apart from the rest. Not only did they assist me in obtaining the licence, but they also provided invaluable guidance on HR compliance, ensuring I was well-informed every step of the way.

Axis Solicitors has truly earned my trust, and I am grateful for their exceptional services. Thank you for going above and beyond to make this process a resounding success!
