Reviews of Branch Austin LLP

P. B.

We have used Branch Austin LLP, and can only recommend them. Rashida Zakir who has acted as our solicitor for conveyancing has been excellent throughout. Always clear, quick and efficient. Such an excellent service, it has made things so much easier and we will continue working with her.

M. A.

My partner and I had the pleasure of working with Charlotte Cato and Jayesh Jethwa to apply for the Unmarried Partner Visa. I've known Jayesh for a while and he spoke highly of Charlotte's quality work as we mainly dealt with her throughout the process. Jayesh couldn't have been more accurate. Charlotte was incredibly curteous, professional, knowledgeable, and patient with us as we went through the process. She was quick to answer any and all emails or enquiries we had and made the entire application process so much less anxiety-inducing. Specifically, Charlotte assisted us by listing all of the neccesary documentary evidence, walking us through the application procedure from start to finish, working with us to make sure everything we submitted was appropriately presented, and guiding us through setting appointments as well as every other administrative detail involved. The service was absolutely exemplary and I am 100% going to be working with Branch Austin for any and all future immigration-related endeavours.

W. D.

Second time in the last five years having Rashida Zakir at Branch Austin as the solicitor for my property purchase in London and again very happy with the overall experience! Rashida is very professional, responsive and efficient. Strongly recommended!

G. D.

Very positive experience working with Charlotte and Jayesh on an immigration issue. Having found Branch Austin via an online search I as not sure what to expect. The have been highly professional throughout the process and have been able to successfully lead us through a potentially difficult application process.

Rashida is the best conveyancing solicitor in town. She has helped me with a couple of residential purchases over the last 5 years. She is extremely hardworking, efficient and proactive. Even through the super busy SDLT holiday of 2021, she never dropped the ball and provided the same level of service and responsiveness. For those of you out there trying to save an extra £200, just remember it's one of the biggest purchases of your life and it's simply not worth the added stress and risk of it falling through. You get what you pay for. With Rashida and Branch Austin, you get efficient, competent and excellent service.

Outstanding service by Charlotte Catto and Jayesh Jethwa. I have worked with the firm on numerous professional matters, but this was the first time I had used these attorneys and the firm for a personal matter (relating to a family member's citizenship). Charlotte and Jayesh were able to navigate through a very complex case with ease - and the fact that a positive decision was made within approximately 2 months, instead of the quoted 6 months, is proof that they were able to get our points across with clarity and conviction.

J. H.

I've just completed the purchase of my first property. I was very impressed by how rigorous, systematic, proactive our solicitor Roland Jones has been. Everything that he said or wrote was very clear. Whenever I didn't know about something, he offered very clear explanations that went straight to the point. When I started the process, it felt very daunting. I was hoping that, by finding a very good solicitor, I wouldn't feel alone or confused in that process. I'm definitely glad I decided to work with Roland Jones and Branch Austin.

Dream Team It is with great pleasure, and a large dollop of gratitude, that I write this review of Messrs Branch Austin, a law firm that is packed with talented and empathetic professionals. I am disallowed on reviewing the circus parading as a law firm which acted, but didn’t act, for a company I was previously a director of, and then, in a conflict of interest, sided with what became 50% of the board of directors and the belligerents in this sorry tale of a group of family businesses and Board rooms gone terribly wrong. Nevertheless, upon their taking up our cause, Messrs Branch Austin - with dream team Hal and Harender Branch at the front line - after 18 months of the Covid crisis affecting previous solicitors’ performance via burn out or indeed, most unfortunately, illness, renewed my faith not only in the competency of those involved in this tricky section of company law, but also in humanity. What the belligerents and the previous law firm did to almost erode my faith entirely in lawyers, accountants and people over the nearly two years of bitter dispute, was within 3 months restored by Hal and Harender and their team, with wary experience now the only difference between now and those naïve concepts that were manifest pre-Covid. What had been so sorely missing under the Circus Masters (and Mistresses) of the previous shower, along with their inability to run a bath, was now all too clear and as abundant the produce farmed in Mpumalanga, Mzanzi’s fruit basket of the East: competency; honesty; integrity; passion; empathy; courtesy; professionalism; comprehension; wisdom; knowledge; expertise; SAVOIR FAIRE. What can I say? Branch Austin were Olympic Gold. And the others? Why, they were the pits, man. Truly. Honorary mention: Frances Steel

I recently used Branch Austin LLP as my immigration advisors, I had a very precarious situation in terms of switching visas. They were so wonderful in terms of exploring my options with me and then actually getting my application together, submitted and securing me a positive outcome. I thought it would be difficult to communicate with everyone working from home but it was effortless, speedy replies and continuous support. I would recommend them to anyone I know and sing their praise as they alleviated a lot of stress/anxiety off my shoulders. Jayesh and Charlotte went above and beyond. Thank you!

N. K. P.

Dealing with Branch Austin was a pleasure, second time. Their professionalism is excellent and they handle all situations professionally, in a personal and friendly manner. I would happily recommend Charlotte(cc) and Jai(JJ) to any person. They are very professional in Immigration works. A special shout out to Charlotte who managed our files from start to finish. Extremely helpful, always on hand to answer questions or support where she can. Thank you so much CC!

My mother found Branch Austin and suggested i called them as I had found myself going through a horrific separation which included domestic violence. I spoke to Saika on a Friday afternoon and immediately found her incredibly calming and not so litigious. Today Saika represented me in Court in supporting my FL403 application. She was honest, supportive and very professional. An hour later all the Orders against me had been set aside. For the first time in 7 months I can take some time out and refuel. Thank you Saika.

A. I.

My wife and I instructed Branch Austin for the purchase of our home in London. Rashida and colleagues were always available, professional and friendly and speedy. Also their fees were very reasonable. Strongly recommend their services

R. C.

I will definitely recommend Branch Austin services. The team is Professional and helpful. I had very good experience working with the team. I thank Charlotte for her support through out the process.

I. M.

Rashida, our solicitor was excellent. She was very responsive, was practical in her approach (focussing on the important matters re our property sale) and efficient in dealing with the buyer's solicitor - especially when they made ridiculous requests! She was genuinely a pleasure to do business with. Thanks!!

n. e.

Roland JONES helped me with the sale of my mums house. He was absolutely fantastic. Best ever solicitor.... Attention to detail, polite, efficient and extremely professional. I would not hesitate to recommend. Five Stars

U. S.

I have worked with Rashida on various property transactions for the past 10 or 11 years or so and she has always been incredibly professional, extremely knowledgeable, quick to reply, and always gets it across the line. In the past four years or so I have also had the pleasure of working with Harender and Hal as well and they are equally as impressive. Generally my dealings with this firm have always been open, fair and friendly, and the quality of service they provide is honestly second to none. Over the years I've had to instruct Branch Austin on different contracts and quite a few property transactions and agreements while lately I've even had some litigation questions too. They are always on hand with expert advice and are always ready to help. I cannot recommend Branch Austin enough, fantastic firm! ,

After speaking with 3 lawyers my wife and I were unsure of their quality, but when I was suggested Branch Austin after speaking to them (Jeyesh Jethwa) within 10 mins we realised how professional and legitimate they were and instantly chose to go with them. We applied for a spouse visa for my wife in the middle of a pandemic who was on a tourist visa, yet within 1.5 months due to their extensive knowledge and hard work we were granted the Spouse visa without having to leave the country. Working with them was so easy, they did not over charge at all, we had access to call as much as we wanted and continually kept in contact via email. Jayesh Jethwa and Charlotte Catto were extremely professional, efficient, polite and thorough in their work. Charlotte provided extensive guidelines which helped us prepare paper work and coordinate with my employers really easily. It was obvious how experienced they were in getting a spouse visa given the examples they were giving us which really helped organise and format our paperwork. They also keep the clients on their toes which is a pleasant surprise because it prevents the process dragging even from the client's side. I would strongly suggest using their services to anyone applying for a spouse based on the quality of work, work ethic and politeness of their staff. It would save a lot of headache for anyone applying for a spouse visa if they chose Branch Austin because I doubt any other firm can give better service than them. We appreciate their hard work at how quickly all of this was done. Especially thankful to Charlotte Catto for her tireless work with us.

J. P.

We have used Branch Austin for the sale of 2 properties. Both times we found Tania Austin to be extremeley effecient and managed the swift and at times complicated sales with all the knowledge, experience and professionalism you would hope from a lawyer. And beyond that, she also excellently managed the relational side of getting a deal done as well as the technical side. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her and the firm.

F. C.

I have used BA (previously LSGA) for many years for a variety of issues. In particular I have recently used the Conveyancing services of Rashida Zakir and she has been excellent in all respects. Efficient, quick (one completion from identification in 3.5 weeks!) responsive, helpful and always executes!

J. M.

Hal Branch saved the day as my first divorce solicitor was very poor. He finalised my divorce in 2 weeks where my previous solicitor hadn’t made any real progress in the previous 2 years. He gives advice in a language that can actually be understood and promptly replies to any enquiry. Overall very happy and everyone I dealt with at the firm were very friendly and professional.

N. T.

I have sought assistance from Branch Austin (previously LSG and LSGA) on a number of issues. My association dates back to 2010 and working with Mr Hal Branch and his team has always been a great pleasure. They provide solid, sound advise, are very responsive and professional indeed. We have always been successful in our cases and this is down to really professional and capable team. Highly recommended!

A. S.

I have used their sales conveyancing service and advise on few teething legal issues. I am very pleased with the way they conduct themselves, especially Rashida, she has always acted in professional manner and most importantly picked up the phone when I needed her. Great service. would definitely recommend.

a. s.

Saika Alam has provided me with invaluable advice in relation to matrimonial matters during the last few years. I have valued her patient, client-centred approach and ability to remain calm in the face of adversity. I would highly recommend her.

M. F. J.

I have an absolute pleasure working with Jayesh Jethwa and Charlotte Catto and found them hardworking, diligent and honest. They will keenly listen your business idea and advise you whether it is suitable for start-up or innovator visa endorsement. They are very knowledgable in UK immigration law. Bring any immigration issue to them and they will have a right solution for it. Not only that I am also impressed by their responsiveness and availability as well as ability to process cases within the client's given timeframe, no matter how urgent your matter is. Apart from the immigration casework, they are also knowledgable in business idea/planning which is a rare combination of skills in the immigration sector. I highly recommend and endorse their services.

I was fortunate to work with Saika, for many years , when I was managing director of a mediation company, Mediation Services Limited (MSL), based in London. Potential clients for MSL were proposed and recommended by Siaka's team at Huggins & Lewis solicitors. I've known Saika to be a very professional individual, with strong leadership skills, taking all lines of her work very seriously. She's well trained and experienced in her field of work, and she's also very methodical and structured. I found Saika to be an excellent listener too, which is a key asset to have, especially when working within the mediation framework. I'm sure she's an asset to any firm she works with and I have no hesitation in recommending her services.

V. R. K. T.

A very professional and comprehensive service. I applied for a Sponsor License for my company. It was authorized recently. The team were on hand throughout my application and were very thorough. Highly recommend. I will be using them for future works. Thank You Charlotte Catto and Jayesh Jethwa. The UK's best Solicitors Branch Austin LLP, I recommend further.

M. D.

Branch Austin LLP, and Rashida Zakir specifically, handled some alterations to the leaseholds for our building. Rashida was responsive, prompt, professional and thorough. Based on this experience I would gladly work with Branch Austin LLP again.

S. K.

Ms Saika Alam is my go to Solicitor who has helped me over many years. Her advice is invaluable. I have no hesitation in recommending Saika to friends and family as she is a committed, professional and approachable Solicitor who gets things done. I would honestly be lost without her in my life guiding me through important issues. Saika has a deep understanding of her clients instantly making them feel at ease with her warmth, expertise and attention to detail.

R. a.

As a long standing client of Saika I cannot vouch for her enough. She is very knowledgeable, meticulous, honest and caring. She goes above and beyond to understand your case and guide accordingly. It is this great care and attention from Saika that has made me continue to turn to her for advice since my case started 4 years ago. I honestly could not recommend her enough! From the first time I was in contact with Saika, I knew that she was not simply out to gain from the misfortune of going through the Family Court system, but instead, she strives to help as much as she possibly can, taking a genuine interest in you as an individual and guiding you along the way. You are treated as a human being and not just another case, she genuinely cares. I have always been a great believer in that, it is the staff that makes or breaks a firm and Saika is indeed a real asset. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything.

E. A.

Saika Alam is the only person I would ever go to. She has always advised me in the most professional and honest way possible. She works in a way that makes you feel comfortable and you feel you are in good hands. Through the years, she has never let me down, gave me all the options available and I was always left feeling it was never about making more money, but the best way forward. I have referred so many people to her and will continue to do so.

In a complex urban domestic property transaction, Rashida Zakir proved not only thoroughly technically competent, but also - and especially importantly - level-headed in difficult circumstances. She gave excellent tactical advice, clearly grounded in wide grass-roots experience. I not only would recommend her: I have recommended her.

T. W.

We've been working with Jayesh, Harender and Branch Austin LLP on a recent project and they have been great! Their attention to detail and devotion is what amazed me and I couldn't recommend them enough. It doesn't matter what time or day it is, Jayesh has been on hand throughout.

T. S.

Charlotte and Jayesh were both helpful and a joy to work with, and my visa application had astonishingly quick results thanks to their hard work. Would highly recommend!

B. M.

I highly recommend Hal Branch. We have worked together on a difficult case in respect of the Inheritance Act 1975 and he always got everything right throughout. It was a real pleasure working with him.

I. N.

Working on a commercial lease deal with Rashida from Branch Austin has been a great experience. Would highly recommend without reservations.

m. p.

I had very good, attentive service and assistance from Saika Alam in regards to a protracted and challenging case. Saika was always available, helpful, professional and methodical. Very pleased and I would have no hesitation in recommending.

T. J.

After looking online for a solicitors firm near my office, I found LSGA. I was helped last minute with a tenancy renewal contract and got everything sorted in my lunch break. They were very helpful, informative and professional. Highly recommend.

E. N.

I highly recommend Jayesh Jethwa and Charlotte Catto. I’ve known Jayesh for a long time and he’s a top solicitor. Charlotte has been amazing. Very professional and knowledgeable.

M. D.

Elliot Hammer has been so supportive throughout every stage of my case. We won! He put my mind at ease at every stage.

i. n.

I was a real pleasure dealing with Rashida throughout the transaction. Rashida was professional and to top it all a great sense of humour ! Best wishes, Nicolas Pejacsevich

V. P.

I have used LSGA for a number of different affairs, and I can quite honestly say I have never dealt with such an efficient and professional team. I can't recommend them enough. I completely trust them with my affairs.

A. B.

I dealt with Ms Rashida Zakir for a problem with a tenancy agreement . She was extremely professional , responsive and friendly . I would highly recommend her .
