Clear, honest, and genuinely reassuring advice

I contacted Michelle for advice on a fairly complex immigration matter, and I couldn’t have asked for better guidance. She took the time to properly understand my full situation and gave me a thorough, clearly written advice letter that gave me exactly the clarity I needed to move forward with confidence. She was also generous with follow up questions afterwards, always responding thoughtfully and without hesitation. I genuinely felt like she cared about getting the right outcome for me, not just providing a generic answer. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone navigating any immigration situation. Her knowledge and attention to detail made a real difference.

Excellent as always

Malcolm has supported throughout my spouses journey to being settled in the UK. The response from the Home Office is always prompt and efficient. This final time it took longer then usual but still well before the Home Office timeframe. Malcolm provided reassurance throughout the time and was prompt in responding to any questions we had. I would highly recommend Malcolm as he is highly professional, transparent and great at the service he offers

Citizenship

Malcolm Hachemi dealt with my citizenship application from start to finish, he was regularly in contact keeping me informed and updated, he and his team were highly professional throughout the lengthy process to its conclusion.

I worked with Rita for over nine years on my spouse visa application. Throughout the entire process, she was exceptionally professional, understanding, and consistently well‑organised. Her dedication and expertise made a huge difference, and thanks to her fantastic work, my visa has finally been granted. I would highly recommend Rita’s services.

Rita provided outstanding support with my father’s British citizenship application. She was professional and always clear in her communication, which made the whole process much less stressful. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, the application was successful. I’m very grateful for Rita’s excellent service and would highly recommend her to anyone needing an immigration solicitor!

4-5 year long DBS claim

Overall, I have had a good experience with Latoya, she is a nice person. The only reason why I didn't give five stars was because she didn't have much faith at the beginning and if it wasn't for my determination to seek another opinion I probably wouldn't of got this far.

Efficient, Thorough, Responsive

Required independent advice with tight time constraints. Shortly after completing the web inquiry form on Nelson LLP site, I was pleased to be contacted by Patrick himself and not a triage officer. He prioritised my case accordingly. Patrick's experience and expertise was evident; consultation was thorough and unhurried. The matter was resolved quickly and efficiently with the desired outcome.

I had an excellent experience with Nelson Richard Solicitors. They provided outstanding support and guidance throughout my GPhC exam appeal. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication were truly impressive. They carefully guided and advised me throughout the entire process and managed to complete my appeal within just five days, ensuring that all the necessary forms were accurately prepared and submitted before the deadline. My appeal was successful and my attempt was nullified.

I cannot recommend Marjorie Creek and Richard Nelson LLP highly enough. Marjorie supported me through an incredibly difficult and prolonged period, and I will always be deeply grateful that I had her in my corner. Her knowledge, experience and professional judgement were invaluable, but what made such a difference was the genuine compassion, kindness and reassurance she showed throughout. During a situation that was often extremely challenging, knowing that I could turn to Marjorie for clear advice, support and guidance gave me enormous reassurance. She was always approachable, responsive and there when I needed her, acting promptly and professionally while never losing the human touch. I always felt that she genuinely cared about my situation and was committed to achieving the best possible outcome for me. It is difficult to put into words just how much her support meant during that time. Marjorie is an exceptional professional and a genuinely compassionate person, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone needing knowledgeable, trustworthy and supportive legal representation.

As a lawyer myself it was interesting for me to see things from the other side. I did not expect to be in a position to need the advice I required but was so relieved to find Steve Roberts - an extremely competent, calm and personable solicitor who put me at my ease within minutes of speaking to him. I am so glad I instructed someone else instead of dealing with the case myself- his written response was extremely succinct and well put. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
