Citizenship for our Grandson

This is the second time we have used WG for obtaining British Citizenship for our second grandchild in Australia, the complication being our son was born in HK when we were working there, and didn't have automatic rights to pass on his citizenship/ Thexperience od dealing with Alison and her assistant Sam was superb from start to finish. good regular contact and proactivity. Would definitely recommend WG services and will use them again should a third grandchild be produced!

Outstanding Immigration Support – Thank You, Alison and Wesley Gryk Solicitors I am deeply grateful to Alison Hunter and the team at Wesley Gryk Solicitors for their exceptional support throughout our immigration case. From the very beginning, Alison demonstrated a rare combination of professionalism, empathy, and deep expertise in immigration law. She took the time to fully understand our situation and guided us with clarity, care, and confidence every step of the way. What could have been an overwhelming and stressful process was made manageable by Alison’s meticulous attention to detail, clear communication, and unwavering dedication played a crucial role in the successful outcome of our case. It’s clear that Wesley Gryk Solicitors uphold the highest standards of integrity and client care. I would not hesitate to recommend them — and especially Alison — to anyone seeking immigration support. Their work has made a real difference to our family, and for that, I am truly thankful.

Could not recommend these guys enough! Alison and Imogen were both incredible and helped me secure my EU settled status after several failed attempts. Even as an organised and fairly competent application writer, I couldn't have done it without Imogen's guidance. She helped me track down and organise all the evidence needed (I'm freelance so this was a bit tricky!), and now after years of stress I can finally breathe deeply. Thank you!!
