How OTB Legal Compares

Value for money

This firm - 96%
National Average
Poor Competitive Excellent

Excellent does not necessarily mean ‘cheap’. It means that clients thought that the level of service received was Excellent for what they paid.

  • Approximately how much did you end up spending for the legal services provided (ignoring disbursements and court fees)
  • Did you think this was underpriced, overpriced or about right?
  • Overall experience

We use data science to amalgamate the answers to these questions and create a ‘ReviewSolicitors score’ out of 100. The above chart representation score is a simple percentage representation of the averaged score across those who have reviewed this law firm.

Good work from the OTB Legal

OTB legal, is a very good and wonderful solicitor, fast in solving immigration issues for me and my family, we never fear when asking them to make our application for us, for stress free in immigration issues I will recommend that everyone should give their case to OTB legal and they will never regret, because they know what they are doing.

Truly praiseworthy lawyers!

Neha and Rachel were our team. They are both the best lawyers I have ever met, excellent at what they do and also amazing people. Neha is very thorough, understanding, and aims for perfection in all her work. Both supported us very much. Neha is honest, trustworthy, and her ability to relate to and empathize with others is remarkable. I highly recommend Neha or Rachel because they are excellent at their subject matter as lawyers and really genuine people who know how to put themselves in your shoes as a client. ♥️

Citizenship application

OTB Legal team is second to none when it came to immigration matter and their fees. I will say was very lucky to have them as my solicitors through Google search. My Citizenship application was prepared to the highest standard by Lydia Watkinson. She's very professional, compassionate and attention to detail. I received the result we wanted.
Lydia will return calls and emails within few hours. I will recommend 100%.

Highly recommend for first time visa applicants.

From the get go Mark was great at providing a clear indication of our options with regards to which visa would be best suited for our desired outcome.

Mark was very thorough with the breakdown of documentations required for the visa application.

It filled me with confidence knowing that Mark had exceptional experience in this field and unlike other law firms that we approached, he was very clear and concise with what to expect during the process.

I would highly recommend for anyone completing a Visa for the first time regarding with regards to emigrating to the UK to be with a British partner. If fills you with confidence and takes away any concerns. If you do have any queries, worries or concerns they will be answered efficiently.

Further along the process, we have also had additional help from Atty who works with Mark. Atty has been a great help during this process providing additional help and support.

Many thanks to Mark & his team.

Fantastic immigration services - highly recommend

We have used OTB multiple times for immigration applications for our family. We have been using them since shortly after the firm was founded. They are highly professional and knowledgeable and help to guide you through what can be a difficult process, especially when you have a complex case like we have. We most recently applied for indefinite leave to remain which was successful. We are hugely grateful to OTB legal and to Mark Lilley-Tams especially!

Great affordable service

Through my ILR, Mark and his team have worked very hard and they were very polite and professional. In addition, they know exactly everything about their cases. Mark is a great man, friendly and responds to all emails efficiently and immediately. I have received the decision (ILR) very fast. I am extremely happy that I have put my case/future in these trusted hands. I highly recommend this team and I will come back to them when I need any legal advice.

I chose OTB legal because of the great reviews on google and I’m so happy I did! Andrew was very empathetic, patient and kind and often felt more like a friend than a solicitor. He helped me throughout the whole process and I’ve now been granted British Citizenship thanks to him. He understood how busy I was as a teacher and made everything so easy. I’ll be forever grateful to Andrew.

OTB legal came with many positive reviews so i decided chose them to help me with my VISA application. And boy were the reviews right! From the start, Mark Liley-Tams was very clear and incredibly patient as he guided me (and my fiancee) through the application process. Empathetic to my circumstances, Mark kept us focused and paced us as we navigated through tonnes of evidence and paperwork. With his experience, he is knowledgable and up-to-date on immigration matters. I cannot be more grateful! Further, the finance/ accounts department is prompt and professional in handling payment and other matters relating to it. Kudos to the team! I would definitely recommend OTB Legal, especially Mark, for its (and his) professionalism, clarity in communication and of course, good value!
