What clients say about Birketts LLP

The firm is praised for immigration, employment and family/divorce work, with clients highlighting strong technical expertise, attention to detail and effective case strategy, particularly on complex visa matters. Soft skills valued include professionalism, clear guidance, prompt responses, reassurance, patience and an approachable manner. However, one review reported very poor communication, repetitive updates, a lack of proactive advice and a serious omission that caused avoidable delay and stress. Overall, clients view the firm as knowledgeable and supportive, but some experienced frustrating service delivery and weak client care.

Poor service

This has been one of the most frustrating experiences I’ve ever had with a solicitor. I paid thousands of pounds over several months, yet I was constantly chasing for updates because communication was so poor. I received repetitive emails that added no value instead of clear advice and progress on my case. The biggest issue was that I was never informed that I needed to apply for the Conditional Order. Because of this omission, I’ve now been delayed by a further two months, causing unnecessary stress, inconvenience, and expense. I relied on my solicitor to guide me through the process, and this simply didn’t happen. For the level of fees charged, I expected a professional, proactive service. Instead, I experienced poor communication, avoidable delays, and a lack of attention to my case. I will be making a formal complaint and requesting a partial refund, as I do not believe the service I received justified the amount I paid. I would not recommend this firm based on my experience.

A representative from Birketts LLP responded to this review

We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with your recent experience, and recognise the frustration and stress caused by the length of the process.

Immigration Visa

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Krishma Bathia - Senior Associate for her outstanding support throughout my Skilled Worker visa application process. From the very beginning, Krishma was professional, knowledgeable and incredibly supportive. She guided us through every stage of the application, answered all our questions promptly, and kept us informed throughout what was a lengthy and often stressful process. The CoS allocation took much longer than expected, but Krishma remained reassuring, patient and proactive, always providing clear guidance and managing the process efficiently. Her expertise and attention to detail gave me confidence that my application was in safe hands. Thanks to her dedication and hard work, my Skilled Worker visa has now been successfully granted. I truly appreciate all the effort she invested in making the process as smooth as possible. I would highly recommend Krishma and the team at Birketts to anyone seeking immigration advice and support. Thank you once again for your professionalism, commitment and excellent service.

Immigration Lawyer

We had a particularly tricky case with my parents, their visa had been refused several times previously, and we were running out of options. Going with Sara Colvin was, hands down, the best decision we made. Sara was incredibly knowledgeable from our very first conversation. She took the time to fully understand the history of our case, identified exactly where things had gone wrong before, and built a strategy that addressed every weakness head-on. Her attention to detail was second to none. What really stood out was how reassuring and approachable she was throughout. Immigration cases are stressful, especially after multiple refusals, but Sara kept us calm, informed, and confident every step of the way. We got the result we'd been fighting for, and I genuinely don't think it would have happened without her.
