    At first I was worried about the process, but after the initial consultation Sherena put my mind at ease. She explained everything simply and straightforward. The process was so smooth and simplified. Every correspondence was timely and informative. I couldnt have asked for anyone better to help me with my application. High quality standard of service I will be recommending Sherena to others who need to go through the same process.

    Visa Journey feedback

    We would like to sincerely thank Nisha for her support and guidance throughout our visa journey. We applied for a visa three months ago, and she was incredibly helpful from start to finish. Nisha took the time to clearly explain each stage of the application process, ensuring that we fully understood what was required and what to expect. Her patience, attention to detail, and willingness to answer all of our questions made what could have been a stressful experience feel much more manageable and reassuring. Thanks to her expertise and encouragement, both my partner and I felt confident and well-prepared throughout the entire process, ensuring that it was straightforward and achievable. We are truly grateful for her assistance in helping us achieve a successful outcome and would happily recommend her to others.

    We used Cartwright King (a recommendation from the immigration advisers at Sheffield Hallam University) to apply for indefinite leave to remain for a family member. We were allocated Sherena who was very professional throughout, explaining the process clearly and informing us what documents we needed. (There are a lot!) Our application was successful and we were delighted with Sherena’s customer service and knowledge of the process. Everything was done remotely via video calls, email and phone so wherever you are in the UK I highly recommend using Cartwright King for your immigration needs. Thank you.

    We used Cartwright King to handle the immigration process required to allow my partner, now wife, to settle with me upon my return to live in the UK, after living/working in the Middle East for many years. Sherena was most professional, holding remote video sessions whilst we were still living abroad and keeping us informed of the visa submission process/application status. Both visa applications were successfully completed at the first attempt. The visa process can be daunting and the supporting documentation extensive, which risks the application being rejected should the submission fail to satisfy immigration requirements. I recommend using an experienced immigration solicitor, such as Cartwright King, rather than attempt to navigate the process oneself, to avoid potential omissions or insufficient evidence, which may lead to a rejected visa application.

    A representative from Cartwright King Solicitors responded to this review

    Thank you Ian for your review of Cartwright King Solicitors. We're so pleased that Sherena was able to help with the immigration process and we hope she was a pleasure to work with throughout. We take pride in our customer service and want to ensure that all of our clients get the best legal support. If there's anything else we can do for you, please don't hesitate to let us know. Thank you again for choosing Cartwright Kind Solicitors.

      Excellent experience. Incredibly supportive firm

      Sona demonstrated good legal knowledge along side infinite patience, kindness, understanding, dedication and professionalism with my case. She worked tirelessly, helped me produce statements and often had to work with very tight deadlines. Sona guided me faultlessly throughout the whole process of care proceedings. I was extremely vulnerable and struggled to process and remember information at that time so her approach was invaluable. Thank you so very much Sona and also a huge thank you to Megan and Chet. For their understanding and willingness to give as much additional support as I required during such an overwhelmingly difficult time. I am extremely grateful to everyone.

      Sharad Buddhdev is an outstanding solicitor who provided exceptional support during a very dark and challenging time. POCA proceedings are complex and terrifying, but Sharad was always there to offer clear advice and reassurance. He took the time to explain every stage of the legal process in plain language, keeping me informed and grounded throughout. He is not only a brilliant legal mind but also a genuinely kind and empathetic person who truly cares about his clients' well-being. I am immensely grateful for his dedication and hard work. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a top-tier criminal defence and POCA specialist.
