I used their services for my ILR application and both Meenal and Buster were spot on with their knowledge and thoroughness for the application

I’m really happy to share my experience with Ellisons Solicitors, especially Meenal Goyal ji, who handled Skilled Dependant Visa application for me and my son very professionally. We received our visa in short time. Thank you so much for all your help and support. I am very happy with the service and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and professional solicitor.

I am very happy with the service and support I received from Meenal. She was very helpful, professional and supportive throughout my visa process, and I am delighted that my visa application was successfully granted. Her guidance and suggestions were clear and extremely helpful. I truly appreciate all her help and would definitely recommend her service. Thank you, Meenal!

Meenal is extremely adept at explaining complex processes in laymen's terms. She is extremely patient and never rushed any of the numerous meetings that my wife and I had with her despite her very rigorous schedule. It is clear as day that she does what she does first and foremost because she greatly enjoys seeing the joy on her clients faces as she helps them embark on one of the most transformative and important journeys of their entire lives. Greatly empathetic, resourceful and meticulous are just a few of the many stellar attributes Meenal possesses. She was successful in securing the documentation needed for both myself and my wife to fulfill our decade long dream of owning and operating a boutique hotel in England. We will forever be grateful for her essential role in making our dream a reality. Lastly, in approximately five years from now there is no question that we will be contacting her again to hopefully obtain our permanent UK citizenship.

We used Ellisons to help buy our home and being from the USA we also needed help to obtain our "settled status" after five years in the UK. Because Ellisons did such a great job assisting us on our home purchase, we decided to use them again. We were fortunate to have Sohan Sidhu as our solicitor. He, along with the rest of the team at Ellisons, were very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. They made sure our application was complete, fulsome, and accurate. After only 24 hours, we were ecstatic to find out that we had been granted settled status. THANK YOU , Sohan and the team at Ellisons. So happy to be here and settled.

I can never thank Elizabeth enough for saving my family during the most difficult and traumatic time of my life. Navigating a high-conflict court process involving coercive control—while facing intense personal hardships alongside the litigation—was completely overwhelming. Elizabeth was more than just an exceptional legal expert; she was an absolute shield for us. She fiercely protected my child’s independent voice, stood firm against every manipulation, and secured the 'Lives With' order that finally gave my child their safety and peace back. She is sharp, deeply compassionate, and worth every single penny. If you need a solicitor who will truly fight for your child's future, she is the best there is.

I spoke to a few solicitors before I spoke to Emily and I smiled to myself as she was talking thinking this is the person I want to act for me. Emily is very professional, thorough and cares about her clients. I have never once had to chase her for an update, she always kept me up to date and guided me as to what I needed to do and when. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Anna was a professional throughout the meeting whilst remaining kind and considerate at what is a very difficult time. I felt very confident in the advice I was given and would happily recommend her to others.

Very unhappy to receive a bill above what was estimated for my case, two weeks after the case was closed. At no point during the process was I notified that the number of hours would be increased from the estimated and I only found out upon receiving the bill. All I can say is that the timekeeping on jobs is either not tracked properly, or this is a way to make a bit of extra money and then point to the small print. I would never have gotten away with whacking my clients with an unexpected bill, having not given them notification at the time that hours spent on the job were going over the original estimate quoted. Very disappointed and upset with the lack of communication, I feel like I’ve been played here and have no choice but to find the money to pay for something I had no idea I was being charged for. Who operates like this?! Edit, in response to Ellison's reply: I am not disputing that the case may have required more time than you originally quoted. I am shocked that I wasn't notified at the time and only found out 2 weeks later when the bill was sent to me. If notified at the time, this could have been agreed and covered by the other party yet now I am out of pocket at the end of a very stressful experience. I've been told by your colleague that this is being looked into further following a phone call.
We are sorry to hear of your disappointment. We are committed to providing clear information regarding the scope of our services and the basis of our charges, both of which are set out in our retainer documentation. As our professional obligations of confidentiality prevent us from discussing the details of any individual matter in a public forum, we would welcome the opportunity to address your concerns directly. Should you wish to do so, please do not hesitate to contact us.
0 Stars isn't an option. Absolutely dreadful - did not perform the task they were paid to do then ran up billable hours on things I hadn't approved. Funds on account was used up on pointless tasks (that I'd already paid someone else to do) and successfully wasted 6 months on a time sensitive matter. Asked for justification of billing and was told in was in her (Lauren's) notes but were unable/willing to provide anything that would be considered "legally admissible" to support this - I was asked to attend a meeting but the requestee didn't turn up; I was asked to communicate through a specific email address but never received a response, instead their comm's came from a different address that i didn't know about and hadn't approved into my inbox. They are obliged to work in the best interest of the client but I have nothing that supports this. Avoid at all costs. Matter now with the Legal Ombudsman and the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
We are sorry to read your comments. This matter has been thoroughly reviewed through our formal complaints process, including independent assessment. As a regulated firm, we take all concerns seriously and follow established procedures to ensure they are addressed fairly.
My brother and I can't thank Shah enough for seeing our late father's probate sale through to completion. He was patient, efficient and always on point, ensuring we were always ahead of the game. No matter how many obstacles our buyers solicitors put in the way, Shah's wealth of experience shone through. Ellisons not only dealt with the sale, but their Private Client team also handled the probate in a very timely and efficient manner. Great service all round.
