Professional approach = Successful application

It was a pleasure to have Naila work on our application. She showed great patience and dedication throughout to ensure successful outcome. Nothing was left to chance - every detail was carefully considered and clearly explained. Her flexibility was outstanding. She was happy to work outside office hours and do extra work to meet urgent deadlines when it really mattered. We strongly recommend Naila for your visa application needs. Thank you, Naila, for being part of this journey. We look forward to the next round of paperwork.

Excellent Advising

In need of a move to the UK I was unsure of what route was best for me. That’s where I found Naila. Through her council I was able to make my move as quickly as possible and with out delay. She was responsive and attentive to every question or need that I had. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone or use her again in the future should need it.

I worked with solicitor Naila Kosar, who has been really helpful and accommodating all the way through, offering good and realistic advice and even finding a slot on a Sunday evening to discuss my situation (online) so that I could make my deadline. She is very knowledgeable and in my case she even raised potential issues I had not thought about so that I could make an informed decision. She was happy to answer a few other queries by email after I had submitted my application too, being available for me during the whole process. In my experience, she is a great professional and I would not hesitate to work with her again.

I used Clifford Johnson twice now to help me apply for my UK residence visa. Naila Kosar was the solicitor who advices me she was very helpful. Listened and understood my situation, for both applications I was in a different situation but with her support and guidance I successfully received my UK residence. Thank you Naila Ayman

Friendly, efficient service

A change in life circumstances had prompted us to review and rewrite our wills, at fairly short notice. Shane was not only accommodating and made time for us, his friendly, down to earth approach made our conversation relaxed and straightforward. We discussed what our wishes were and Shane guided us in how we might do this simply without complicated language or clauses. I would certainly recommend working with Shane.

Better than expected outcome

Dear Erik, Matt, and Linda, ​I am writing to formally express my deepest appreciation for the exceptional level of service and professional dedication you demonstrated while handling my recent legal matter. ​Having had the opportunity to reflect on the resolution of my case, I am acutely aware that the outcome—which I consider to be more than fair—was made possible only through your collective expertise and strategic guidance. Navigating such a demanding and sensitive situation was naturally daunting, yet your combined efforts provided me with a sense of clarity and reassurance that was invaluable throughout the entire process. ​I am particularly grateful for the diligence and care with which you approached every aspect of my case. Your ability to distill complex legal challenges into manageable, clear objectives is a testament to your professional excellence. Please know that your support has been pivotal, and I am sincerely relieved to have reached such a constructive conclusion that now allows me to move forward with confidence. ​Thank you once again for your commitment, your balanced counsel, and the composure with which you managed this entire engagement. It has been a privilege to be represented by such a capable team. ​Yours sincerely, Rick

Enquired about a case 2.5 weeks ago, had to chase back 3 times until finally on the third time I received a call back by the trainee solicitor who mentioned money as the first thing to throw me off like it was an issue and basically explained how we don't take driving cases but however previously they have tried to take on my driving case. More important the tone/ mannerism of the short phone call I had was in a way that they didn't want to engage with me and can't wait to get on with their day.
