    Sherena made the whole process of applying for our spouse visa so seamless that we almost felt like it was too easy. She asked for the necessary documents, booked the appointment and had my approval the next day. It was great

    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.

    My wife had a fairly complex case to do with her LLR visa and eventually an ILR visa, we dealt with Sherena Lawrance and her team throughout the process and they were all excellent, they took all the stress away from us and handled everything very professionally, we honestly dont think we could have achieved the same results elsewhere or on our own, we would highly recommend Sherena and her team to anyone seeking legal assistance regarding immigration issues, thanks again to you all rgds.

    When we decided in 2023 to get a visa for my Filipino fiancé (now husband)it was decided to use a solicitor. Having approached various companies this was the only one who did not charge us for an initial consultation. We were contacted by Sherena Lawrence who explained everything. It was decided then that we would use her services. From day one everything was explained and we were told everything we needed to send. She collected everything and submitted out application which was successful. After we were married we got a correspondence from Sherena telling us that the government were raising the price of our next visa and asked if we could begin the process early in order to save money. Another successful application. We have now just completed out 3rd successful visa application. If not for the expertise of the company and in particular Sherena I doubt very much if we would have coped on our own. We are forever indebted to the company and of course Sherena for all the hard work they have put in and also for their success, without which we would not be happily married and living together. As a side note, same sex marriage is still illegal in the Philippines, so being successful here was the only option to be together. I look forward to 30 months time when once again Sherena will come to our rescue and get our final visa.

    We used Cartwright King Solicitors for processing family visa. Giving 5 stars for the exceptional service. Sherena was very professional and warm at the same time. It was value for money. Though we had some delays in getting a decision, she kept us updated with responses from the Home Office as they were received. Thank you Cartwright King Solicitors.

    Exceptional Legal Guidance and Complete Peace of Mind Working with Sherena Lawrence at Cartwright King Solicitors was easily the best decision I made for my Naturalisation application. From our very first consultation, she demonstrated a level of expertise and professionalism that immediately put my mind at ease. ​Navigating UK immigration law can be stressful and complex, but Sherena broke down every requirement clearly, ensuring no detail was missed. Her meticulous approach to reviewing my documentation made a world of difference in submitting an airtight, compliant application. ​Thanks to her patience, dedication, and thorough preparation, my Naturalisation was successful. If you are looking for an immigration solicitor who is not only incredibly knowledgeable but genuinely invested in achieving the best possible outcome for their clients, I highly recommend Sherena Lawrence.

      Thank you Sonia

      I would just like to provide a heartfelt thank you to Sonia for her absolutely top notch work on what proved to be a very complex family court case. After 20 months in proceedings they have today concluded in the best outcome possible for my family. When Sonia took over my case I was immediately reassured by her prompt, responsive communication and her care and attention to detail. Feeling heard and validated was very important to me and it felt like there was no question too silly to ask and She was able to provide reassurance in the lead up to final hearing. Sonia handled communication which became challenging with complete professionalism while also creating a firm boundary. I received clear advice and felt like I could ask for explanations of decisions that I struggled to take on board on hearing days. Her knowledge of my case, together with the work put in to prepare for the final hearing meant I walked out of a difficult day knowing the children are safe and we can start to rebuild our lives. I cannot thank you enough.

At all times he kept me informed and due to vast experience on knowledge made the journey easy. Wesley got the decision I needed and is worth instructing an experienced solicitor.
