Louise and Rheanna were absolutely excellent and helped me through the most difficult period of my life, and ultimately we were able to get the right outcome. I really feel that their work made an enormous difference to my case and were able to put it more clearly and succinctly than I could ever have any hope of doing, and I am impressed at the speed at which they were able to work given that I engaged their services quite late and the complexity of my case.

Great experience

During a really difficult time in my life, Jayne helped me enormously. She offered me support and consultations and answered all my questions thoroughly! She liaised with my employer which meant I don’t have to. I got an outcome even better than expected and I can’t thank Jayne enough.

Highly Professional and Trustworthy Solicitor

I had an excellent experience working with this solicitor. They were professional, knowledgeable, and very supportive throughout my case. Everything was explained clearly, and I was kept informed at every stage of the process. Their communication was prompt, and they handled my matter with great care and dedication. I truly appreciate their hard work and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable legal assistance.

Victoria Rees was great in her diligence in helping me to provide what was needed for the process when all my instincts kept moving towards much too personal reflections. She bore with me when I would think of something which I thought was important and immediately include it in an email. This made her life more difficult in processing all the information I was giving her. She pushed me to be more remorseful in my reflections when I would hold back because of shame. Thank you Victoria for the time and energy you took in knocking me into shape.

I got intouch with Richard Nelson's after needing help with a contract regarding mutually agreed redundancy, but due to the contract not containing the correct information by the time I got the correct version I only had two days left before it had to be signed and returned. I rang and was assured that someone would be able to help me, I was give an appointment for the next day and met Jayne Harrison, she was brilliant! She read through the contents with me pointing out several mistakes, she got straight in touch with my employer and got them amended . I have one last part to complete in January. I am so glad that I chose Richard Nelson's as after much stress they dealt with my situation extremely quickly and efficiently. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing any legal advice.

Steve Roberts at Richard Nelson assisted me in making a successful early admission screening with the SRA. Steve’s knowledge and guidance were paramount to my success. He provided clear, concise instructions and ultimately assisted me with an application that was pivotal to my career. I would highly recommend.

Great support!

Rita helped me with my application and gave me the confidence from the very first appointment. She continued correspondence and helped me submit the application in the correct timeframe and followed through. She ensured to be professional and personalised everything around my schedule and relevant to my case. Thank you for your help!

Very professional

Lily dealt with my case very professionally and promptly, chasing detectives involved swiftly when information wasn’t forthcoming. She was very quick in checking the evidence and came up with actions to move it forwards. She was easy to contact which helped with mental health waiting around for answers. Would highly recommend.

From the first call and throughout the whole process to its successful outcome Rita was robust, approachable and tenacious in doing all she could to ensure that we understood all that we needed to provide so that she could present the very best case in our visa application. Highly recommended.

I had a very disappointing experience with this law firm. The attorney who was handling my case failed to complete my paperwork even after I had fully paid all the agreed fees. After we finalized everything from my side and I paid the full amount, my documents remained pending for an entire year. During that time, I repeatedly tried to contact her for updates, but she did not respond to my messages. This lack of communication and delay caused me significant stress and inconvenience. I expected a much higher level of professionalism and accountability, especially after fulfilling all my financial obligations. I hope the firm takes this matter seriously and improves its communication and commitment to clients.

I am sorry to hear that your experience was disappointing. There are often delays by HM Land Registry which are outside of our control, where they often take over a year before completing a registration. However, it sounds like there were potentially communication issue where we could have done better to manage your expectations and to communicate with you. If you would like us to explore this further offline with you, then please do reach out to us at complaints@richardnelsonllp.co.uk. Thank you.

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.

Rita provided outstanding support with my father’s British citizenship application. She was professional and always clear in her communication, which made the whole process much less stressful. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, the application was successful. I’m very grateful for Rita’s excellent service and would highly recommend her to anyone needing an immigration solicitor!
