Testimonials

‘Karma Hickman is so calm and thoroughly pursues what she knows to be correct that her scattergun strategy got us back home to England in the end. Karma also invested her emotional all in our case without letting it cloud her Solicitor Judgment, and responded to our emotions about our awful stuck and uncertain situation.’
‘I think the combination of highly trained caseworkers who are both very intelligent and responsive to individual client needs (whether in terms of legal advice or an empathetic approach) and also rigourously methodical makes the Bindmans immigration team uniquely placed to give vulnerable clients a very effective service and often successful outcome.’
‘Elisabeth Attwood is the best lawyer I have every had!’
‘My solicitor Tanya Goldfarb and her Bindman's team provided excellent insight, advice and extreme preparation, confidence and professionalism. They understood what I needed and delivered 200%.’
