Big thanks to Sally, Lydia, Sam and Caitlyn who helped me with my ILR application. The lawyers are extremely professional, and they did an incredible job. They also cover really well for each other when on holiday/leave. Sally put me at ease at the start, and Lydia and Sam did the same when reviewing my documents. Big thanks to Caitlyn and Sally who kept checking for any outcome related emails and emailing me regularly which helped me manage my anxiety over the outcome. The outcome was successful in the end, for which I am very grateful to the team. I highly recommend OTB!

Twice now I have called, once for myself and once for a client and both times they have offered incredibly helpful information without charge. When I have an immigration query where I need further paid assistance, I would not hesitate to use OTB. They are fantastic.

Exceptional Legal Assistance
I cannot express my gratitude enough for the outstanding services provided by Lydia Watkinson at OTB Law Firm in helping me navigate the intricate complexities of the Skilled Worker Dependant visa process. Facing unexpected complications from the Home Office, I found myself in a state of uncertainty and despair. However, thanks to the unwavering commitment and expertise of Lydia Watkinson, an associate solicitor at OTB Law Firm, my visa application was successfully resolved, and I can now confidently say that my future in the UK is secure.

Professional, generous and efficient
My family had been refused a visa but after a consultation with OTB Legal’s solicitor Ms. Lydia Watkinson, we had great confidence in the BNO visa application. Lydia was very professional, generous and efficient. She made the application process hassle free. We are very lucky to have found you as our solicitor. Thank you once again!

Great service
Lydia was very helpful and professional to get my application completed successfully. Because of some circumstances it was not an ordinary application so she deserves more than 5 stars to spot on time the right path for me and avoiding a rejected application

Citizenship application
OTB Legal team is second to none when it came to immigration matter and their fees. I will say was very lucky to have them as my solicitors through Google search. My Citizenship application was prepared to the highest standard by Lydia Watkinson. She's very professional, compassionate and attention to detail. I received the result we wanted.
Lydia will return calls and emails within few hours. I will recommend 100%.

Citizenship - Awesome Service!
Lydia Watkinson at OTB legal advised and represented me in my British citizenship application. Attempting the application by myself, not knowing what documents I needed, and not being in the UK made applying seem impossible. Lydia took all of the worry and stress out of the process. She delivered clear and easy to understand advice and always responded quickly to my queries. She communicated with the Home Office on my behalf and always kept me informed. For the quality of service you receive, the price is totally worth it. Now I am a British citizen, and I can't imagine that I would be saying that without Lydia and the team at OTB legal. I have and would recommend OTB legal to anyone seeking immigration advice/representation in the UK.
