Heartfelt Thanks and Profound Gratitude to Mr Barry O'Leary
I am compelled to share my heartfelt gratitude and immense satisfaction with the exceptional service provided by our solicitor, Barry O'Leary, and his remarkable assistant, Ilhaan Dirshe.
Having navigated immigration law previously, albeit with success, our recent experience was more complex. This time, we needed more than a conventional approach; we sought a creative and highly experienced solicitor who could meticulously review our case and find innovative solutions. It was through the recommendation of friends who had also faced challenging immigration cases that we were fortunate enough to discover Mr. Barry O'Leary.
From the outset, Barry demonstrated unparalleled expertise and professionalism. He took the time to thoroughly understand the intricacies of our unique situation and proposed a strategic plan for our application. It was evident that Barry's wealth of experience and creative thinking would be instrumental in achieving a positive outcome.
Throughout the process, Barry and Ilhaan exhibited unwavering dedication and patience. Despite the complexities and demands of our case, they remained steadfast in their commitment to securing a successful result. Their meticulous attention to detail and tireless efforts were truly commendable.
I must also express my heartfelt appreciation for the remarkable patience extended to me personally. Despite my occasional delays in providing documentation, Barry and Ilhaan handled each interaction with professionalism and understanding.
In the end, our application was approved thanks to Barry and Ilhaan's expertise and perseverance. We feel immeasurable relief and gratitude, and we owe it all to their exceptional service.
In conclusion, if you are looking for the best immigration solicitor, look no further than Barry O'Leary and his dedicated team. Their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for their clients are unparalleled. My apologies for the emotional tone of this review, but the impact of Barry and Ilhaan's assistance cannot be overstated.

Exceptional solicitor and service
I can't speak highly enough of this firm. Barry and Ilhaan have been amazing and provided incredible support for our family in getting British citizenship for our children. As LGBTI parents living overseas, the path wasn't easy, but their professional, caring and an incredible level of expertise has led to a great result.

Visas to Citizenship
We were fortunate to have the services of Wesley Gryk Solicitors to obtain visas and citizenship for my wife. At each stage, all the help we were given was very professional and easy to understand.
They navigated all the problems that arise going through these processes, which included periods within covid lockdown.
My wife and I are both grateful for all the help and instruction given and would thoroughly recommend the company to anyone with immigration needs.

Mike Smith Spouses visa.
The whole team were excellent. our case was not so straightforward and if we had of filed the visa application ourselves then I’m convinced that it would of taken a lot more time and stress for me and my wife. The team at Wesley Gryke are not just very professional, they have a genuine passion and determination in helping their clients. And we will be always eternally great full to Swabra, Barry and Andrew. They truly are our heroes. Thanks from Mike and Bebay.

Outstanding
I am so grateful for the support I received from Wesley Gryk Solicitors. The words thank you can never explain however grateful I am for the professional, personalised and friendly service I received from Barry and Orla. Barry is experienced and knowledgeable about issues associated with surrogacy. Barry was able to provide advice on options regarding obtaining citizenship and passport after surrogacy. The team went extra mile to make sure that my daughter got her citizenship and was she was also issued her passport. I cannot thank them enough for the support they have given me. The process of bringing my daughter back home was painless and l do not think l would have done it without them.
