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 could not have been happier and would recommend there services to anyone looking to gain UK citizenship.

Rita Kotecha

Rita previously worked with us to secure our children's UK passports, and their name change by deed poll. Hugely successful, helping us to navigate through the HO processes which are at best complex and less than responsive. It was therefore with great pleasure and confidence that we engaged Rita and Evelyn again to assist with Dora's ILR submission. Having both Rita and Evelyn on board was key to this submission, enabling a seamless and continuous pressure to be maintained and driving the submission through to a successful conclusion. We are delighted with the services we received and will look to engage Rita and Evelyn again for Dora's naturalisation. Well Done!

Outstanding service and advice!

Rita and Evelyn were absolutely fantastic—professional, responsive, and refreshingly straightforward in their advice. They are outstanding representatives of Richard Nelson LLP and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. They were highly recommended to me by another local law firm that does not handle the type of services I required, and that recommendation proved to be spot on. I was extremely impressed with their expertise, efficiency, and client care. I would not hesitate to recommend Rita, Evelyn, and Richard Nelson LLP to others.

Immigration Visa Application

From the very first call and throughout the entire process we felt heard and understood. Rita was thorough and left 'no stone unturned' in her exemplary diligence to help our application. We knew ours was not a straightforward case, but Rita was clear in everything she required from us and provided a clear way to work through with diligence what would have otherwise been overwhelming. All the way through the process we felt listened to and supported. With a successful outcome we were of course thrilled with all that Rita had done from the very start to successful completion.

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.

A big thank you to Rita Kotecha for helping me with applying for settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme. She was always extremely attentive and sympathetic, as this application had a direct impact on my future in England. Over a 10 month period she successfully advised me on the application status and its progression. Rita often went the extra mile to ensure that The Home Office had all the evidence and information to make a reasonable decision. Thanks to her I am now Settled and free from endless visa burden. I would definitely recommend Ritas services. Thank you Rita.

Outstanding employment law advice from Patrick

I can’t thank Patrick enough for all of his help and support throughout my employment matter. From our first conversation he was easy to talk to, friendly and clearly very knowledgeable; I instantly felt comfortable discussing the situation with him. Throughout the matter, Patrick’s communication has been excellent. He has taken the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring I understand my legal position and the options available to me. As someone with no prior legal knowledge, this has been really appreciated and has given me the confidence to make informed decisions. He has always responded promptly, kept me updated, and never made me feel like I was asking a silly question. I was made to feel comfortable when asking for clarification, and he has been patient and happy to explain things. Overall, Patrick has gone above and beyond providing support through a very stressful situation, and I have always felt that he genuinely wanted to achieve the best possible outcome for me. His professionalism and expertise have made a difficult experience much easier to navigate. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Patrick to anyone needing employment law advice, and if I ever needed legal assistance again in the future, he would be the first person I contacted.

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.
