Lei Dat & Baig Solicitors Ltd

These solicitors failed to advise a simple technicality in father and daughter reunion application. I did all the preparation like DNA TESTS and approached them so I can have legal representation. I provided payslips and everything to prove that I was able to look after myself and my daughter should she arrive in the UK. However, this was used against me by the Home Office. The adjudicator challenged my lawyer why they presented a free application instead of advising me to take a paid visa application since I had money. Also they said my daughter who I left in custody of my sister , would not qualify under family reunion as the immigration law required me and her to have been living under the same roof before I left my country and also they said that there were no pictures of me and my daughter while she was a baby to prove that we were close. Very flimsy excuses were used given the fact that I fled the country fearing political persecution and the fact that I had hid my daughter with my sister to avoid her being used as a target to get to me. I paid fees for representation but in the end I was worse off than I could have been representing myself!

Highly recommend from the first meeting very helpful and I’m thankful for my resolved matter

Asylum seekers and refugees are some of the most vulnerable people in society. I am thoroughly shocked and dismayed to see that Lei Dat Baig takes full advantage of that fact in the way they treat potential customers. Their attitude is take it or leave it and their customer care is a disgrace. Over a three week period, just trying to make an appontment for a young, disabled refugee, I have called this feeble, disorganised company six times and emailed them twice at different addresses. Despite this, I've been completely ignored. Not a single useful response from them, despite an assurance from one "interpreter" that someone would call me back. Take note, if a company treats its new customers abysmally, it's extremely likely that clients already signed to them will be dealt with even greater distain and therefore, I strongly advise and caution you NOT to entertain this company at any price. Take your business elsewhere and count yourself fortunate, like I am, that you had an opportunity to consider reviews and make an informed choice. Experience has taught me that where immigration solicitors are concerned, word of mouth is EVERTHING. CHRISTOPHER LAWLER
