What clients say
I thank solicitor David Thayabaran & his team for successfully getting my ILR Visa and all my family members ILR Visas. Six times, I have applied Visas (Tier 2 and ILR) for me and my family members through him. Five times, Visas were granted successfully in very short time period except first Visa which was rejected by the negligence of UKBA. That was also rectified by his first attempt in the court. Without any court arguments, my Visa was granted in the court by his proceedings. The solicitor fees were very reasonable & acceptable too. We are very obliged for his support and guidance to get ILR for us. I highly recommend him and his firm.
I Highly Recommend this firm !!! I would not like to go in to too much detail but let me just say I was having to deal with a complicated situation with regards to my visa, David from David benson Solicitors provided me excellent advise and delivered results as promised.I’m very glad I used this Solicitor firm and they are professionals at what they do. They also have a good variety of skilled admin staff which complements the Solicitors. Highly recommend this firm !!!
