Very proactive and dedicated
Michael successfully gained a work visa and then a permanent residence visa for me, all within 5 months. He was very proactive and dedicated. It was obvious he didn't consider this 9-to-5 job, I got several emails from him in the evening and at the weekend. I'm very pleased I came to him, it was money well-spent.

Over the moon with getting partnership residence. Really professional service. Highly recommend anybody who needs help with visas. Very easy to deal with and makes it as stress-free as possible. Would like to thank Michael for everything. I would have no hesitation in using his service in the future.
Hard case but Michael helped us to apply and approved
Recommended lawyer. My wife work visa has been approved. Before we used another lawyer and my wife visa refuse. Even we already submit potentially prejudicial information. Must back to home country. Hard case. But Michael helped us to apply and approved. We appreciate that. Thank you...Michael
