Family Matter

I had a very positive experience with Bilal Raza at BW Solicitors in Ilford, who handled my legal application. From the beginning, Bilal was calm, understanding and professional. He took the time to understand my situation and always focused on what was best for me, without unnecessarily complicating the case. He explained the process clearly, handled everything very smoothly, and kept me updated throughout, which gave me a lot of reassurance during what could otherwise have been a stressful time. I really appreciated his straightforward and supportive approach and the way he managed the entire process from start to finish. I would highly recommend Bilal Raza to anyone looking for professional and reliable legal support with a family matter. Thank you, Bilal, for making the whole process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Outstanding service, exceeded my expectations.

Wow where do I start because Sisini, Bilal and the Team (BW Solicitors) did put the hours in on our case due to its complexity. Sisini was always available to answer my questions and concerns. My wife spouse visa and son had expired after 13 days and we were not aware just a simple silly mistake. In panic mode started to look for a Lawyer on Bark.com had many calls from different Law Firms but when I spoke to Sisini she was reassuring, felt like the right team for the task in hand. Sisini showed a deep understanding of our situation and demostrated empathy throughout the legal process that she even agreed for us to split there bill to pay half down and remaining balance in a months time. There fees where very reasonable compared to what other law firms where charging because we where desperate and vulnerable but Sisini did not use this to there advantage she was very compassionate. Our case was very complex as most of the information required was not available and when doing the application to beat the 14day deadline I gave incorrect information in panic mode. We only has 1-day to put our application through within the 14-days now called the 'good reason' for having overstayed by Home Office. Sisini stayed until midnight at the office working on our application on the due date to submit the application before midnight. Sisini had to send a correction letter to Home Office to correct some of the Information provided on the first application after that it was a waiting game. Sisini Team from BW Solicitors pulled a miracle on our case as there was too many question marks on our application meaning the odds where against us. Sisini managed to get my wife and son visas approved which was a big relief next stop ILR thats all thanks to Sisini. Submission of documents was made easy by BW Solicitors as you upload required documents on there App. The App is your portal to communicate with the BW Solicitors 24/7 if you have any questions and they respond to message A.S.A.P or call you if needed. Sisini went above and beyond to work on my case, very patient. I would highly recommend BW Solicitors for anyone seeking legal services in Immigration matters because these guys will work overtime to get you application approved and there fees very reasonable.

Partner Visa Secured

I am happy to share that my partner's visa has been approved with the help of BW Solicitors. Specially Solicitor Mr Bilal Raza, who went above and beyond the expectations in applying for the visa on my partner's behalf. Throughout the process the communication with him and the team was professional and quickly responded. It was a complex case with multiple hurdles but Mr Bilal Raza prepared and submitted a thorough legal representation along with the supporting documents that the visa was granted without any delay. I would highly recommend BW Solicitors to anyone seeking Immigration assistance.

I had an excellent experience with Samra Warraich and Mr Bilal Raza, who handled my ILR application. From the initial consultation through to the successful outcome, they were professional, knowledgeable, and very supportive. They explained the process clearly, reviewed all my documents carefully, and made sure everything was prepared correctly before submission. They were always responsive to my questions and kept me updated throughout the application. I’m very happy to say that my ILR application was successful. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable and experienced immigration solicitors. Thank you for all your help and support! I’m extremely grateful to Samra Iqbal and Mr Bilal Raza for their hard work, guidance, and support.

BW Solicitors have supported me with the process of British Citizenship application (naturalisation) from start to finish (application approved). They have used their extensive knowledge and vast experience to guideme through completion of the forms and more importantly, gathering evidence to avoid any delays. Special thank you to Mr Bilal Raza, who effectively and timely communicated with me when I needed advice or reassurance. Overall, a pleasant experience, I would definitely recommend BW Solicitors to anyone in need of support with immigration matters.

I had an excellent experience with this firm of solicitors who dealt with a civil litigation matter of mine. Mr Bilal Raza and Mr Owais Rashid handled my case with professionalism, efficiency, and great attention to detail throughout the entire process. They were always responsive, kept me updated at every stage, and made what can often be a stressful process smooth and straightforward. I am extremely satisfied with the level of service I received and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking reliable and professional legal assistance.
