Immigration
A couple came to us after their first spouse visa application was refused over missing financial evidence. We rebuilt the application, filled the gaps and submitted it with a clear covering letter.
Employment
A long serving employee was dismissed with no proper process. We set out the claim, opened talks with the employer through ACAS and negotiated a settlement without the need for a hearing.
Civil Litigation
A Manchester supplier was owed several months of unpaid invoices by a customer who had stopped replying. We sent a formal letter before action and agreed a payment plan within weeks.

FAQs
We offer a short first conversation so we can understand what has happened and tell you whether we can help. If you decide to go ahead, we confirm the cost in writing before any work starts.
Yes. Most of our work can be done by phone, video call and email, so we help clients across England and Wales as well as here in Manchester.
Fill in the form or give us a call and tell us briefly what has happened. We will come back to you, arrange a time to talk and let you know what documents to send.
Yes. We look at the reasons for the refusal, explain whether a fresh application, an administrative review or an appeal is the best route, and deal with it for you. Time limits apply, so get in touch as soon as you can.
Processing times are set by the Home Office and change through the year. As a guide, applications made inside the UK are often decided in around eight weeks and those made from outside the UK in around twelve. We will give you an up to date estimate for your case.
Yes. We advise on indefinite leave to remain and British citizenship, check you meet the requirements and prepare the application with you.
Keep copies of everything, including your contract, any letters and messages about the dismissal. Then speak to us as soon as possible, because strict time limits apply to most employment claims.
Yes, and it is short. For most claims, including unfair dismissal, you need to start ACAS early conciliation within three months less one day of the dismissal or the issue you are complaining about.
Yes. A settlement agreement is only binding if you have had independent legal advice, and we can provide that. We check the terms, explain what you are giving up and negotiate where we can.
Yes. We help individuals and businesses recover unpaid debts and invoices, usually starting with a formal letter before action. Many cases settle at this stage without going to court.
Not always. Most disputes are settled through negotiation or mediation. If court is the right step, we will explain what is involved and prepare you for every stage.
If the other side ignores a letter before action, we can issue a claim at court. If they still do not respond, you may be able to get judgment without a hearing.
It depends on the type of case and how complex it is. We give you a clear written quote before any work starts, and our pricing page shows typical costs.
Yes, for immigration matters. For employment and civil disputes we give you a written quote after a first conversation, and keep you updated if anything changes.
We will agree a payment plan with you at the start. For larger cases we usually split the cost into stages, so you are never asked to pay everything upfront.
