Excellent

Deborah handled a very difficult and time pressured situation with incredible speed and sensitivity, despite a number of challenges and occasional hostility from the other party. I cannot imagine that anyone else would be able to achieve a better result in the given circumstances and I would strongly recommend Deborah for her exceptional professional skills, experience and human approach.

British Citizenship Application

Deborah has be amazing sorting out my son's application. She made the whole process easy and stress free. We have been very well informed from the beginning till the end of the application and processing. Deborah and Catherine are very professional and friendly, it was a pleasure to work with them.

Excellent! Deborah is brilliant!

I had instructed Sills & Betteridge for my husbands first UK Spouse Visa. From the first meeting with Deborah right up until the successful email I have felt nothing but support, warmth and total guidance. Deborah was extremely efficient, listened to me and guided me and I felt extremely reassured as we went through the process of the application and I will forever recommend her. I cannot thank her enough for the kindness and help that she gave me for such a pivotal time in my life and I am forever grateful. 100% recommend!

Immigration - Leave to remain and Permanent leave to remain

I found Deborah to be very professional and knowledgeable. She helped work through the process very well, although and this is probably because she is used to dealing with non-English speaking people, she was a little too directive and controlling.

We were highly recommended the services of Deborah Linford, by a former colleague, as an Immigration Solicitor who would be able to assist my wife in obtaining as spouse settlement visa, as we return to my native England after many years living abroad. Deborah met every expectation, calmly navigating us around the intricacies of the application and ensuring we had all the documentation prepared and ready for submission, even though we were working on it thousands of miles away. She kept us fully informed of all developments along the journey to receiving the visa, which my wife now has. We would have no hesitation in recommending Deborah as an Immigration Solicitor to anyone else seeking a spouse settlement visa - or for any other service related to immigration - and in fact, we already have. Many thanks again, Deborah.
