I highly recommend him to anybody who wants to move to the UK using a well-organised route.”

“After my daughter’s visa application was refused, I was advised that our case was hopeless. Then a friend recommended that I contact Lawrence. He was very clear from the outset that this was going to be a difficult appeal and that there would be a lot of work to do. I am pleased to say that against all the odds, Lawrence’s thorough approach and meticulous care led to us winning the case. My daughter and I will be reunited, and this will change our lives. I have no hesitation in recommending Lawrence.”
