Nos services en action

The immigration team were recently instructed by a client who did not live near one of their offices and the client’s level of English was not very good. The client had already spent lots of time and money instructing previous solicitors whom he was unhappy with, and therefore wished to change solicitors. The client’s appeal had been prepared to a basic standard and he contacted us with a few months to go to the final hearing. We offered him a reduced fee as he was instructing late in the appeals process and we assisted him by preparing an addendum bundle which included a new witness for him, a witness statement for his partner, subject evidence, objective evidence and a detailed skeleton argument drafted by Counsel whom we had instructed. We kept in regular contact with the client and advised him throughout the process including just before the appeal hearing on what to expect. There was ample to do in very little time and it was a difficult case where the Home Office disputed the client’s nationality. After a successful hearing where the client was represented by Counsel the appeal was allowed a few weeks later and the client was promptly granted Refugee Status by the Home Office as a result of this successful appeal.
