Reviews of Richmond Chambers Immigration Barristers
M. E.
Bernie was brilliant from the get-go. I knew upon our first initial consultation that he was extremely knowledgeable about Tier 1 Entrepreneur rules. On top of that, he was able to simplify and explain this to me in an understandable way and was honest about his expectations of the outcome which is everything we could have hoped for. He has thoroughly prepared me for the extension in which I have passed and granted my visa) .More importantly, the work he prepared was incredibly detailed and was paramount in our case being successful. Best of all, he was taking the extra mile in terms of reviewing non-legal documents (i.e. business plan), working on my case after working hours and rehearsing for the Interview. Thank you very much, Bernie.
M. J.
My wife and I just want to express our sincere-Big-Thanks to senior partner Mr Paul Richmond and his senior legal associate Annie for all their assistances and efforts for our UK Tier 1 visa application, especially during the pandemic. It’s been an absolute pleasure for us to work with them, and their professionalism have never let us down.
K. B.
I have requested an application checking service from Richmond Chambers for my citizenship and was extremely satisfied. They are quick to respond and provide a very good client experience. Thanks to Bernie’s knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail my case has been approved very quickly by the Home Office. I can only recommend this firm.
D. T.
I engaged Richmond Chambers to help me with renewal of my UK status. Stefania Patuto and her team were amazing. Very buttoned-up, thorough, and helpful every step of the way. They made it easy for me and I would highly recommend them to anyone undertaking the potentially nerve-wracking endurance trial that is UK immigration process.
M. M.
I used Richmond Chambers service to help processing EU Pre-settlement scheme for my partner, who is not EU Citizen. Our Barrister /Advisor was Zarina and I could not recommend her more. She helped us with the cumbersome process and went extra mile by contacting the decision makers at Home Office to specifically look into our case. Thank you once again for your excellent service, we are delighted with the outcome.
Z. N. (.
I have been very happy since I have been with Richmond Chambers Immigration Barristers, for ten years. With Alexandra Pease, Stefania Patuto for over five years. That's a long enough period for me to say based on my experience how they are professional, and well supportive. I know that I will always receive accurately and verified information from them I do not have stress, and anxiety which normally go hand in hand with the visa issue. Thank you so much to Olivia Waddell and James Watts, who recently participated as a team with Alex and Stef for me to got a Graduate Visa. Warmly recommend to all who needs immigration barrister.
j. m.
I searched for a reputable service to facilitate my successful "No Time Limit application for a BRP card". Bernard Wood provided exceptional service. His professionalism, attention to detail, and patience in compiling my submission was extraordinary and timely. I highly recommend Bernie, as he was always available and delightful to work with!
T. R.
I highly recommend Miss Jasmine Theilgaard.
Richmond Chambers Immigration Barristers have an incredible team that would look after you and your legal matter resulting to a fantastic outcome. They are well known for their dedication, promptness and efficient services. They have the right qualified experts who are able to assist with individual cases.
My case may have been a rare and rather complicated one, however, my barrister successfully had a prompt turnaround to my case. This was the quickest outcome I have ever had, that I was granted within hours after attending my biometric enrolment. This is a result from all Jasmine’s hard work, by putting together all the relevant requirements and completing countless documents to support my visa application. Jasmine explained all the options in detail, she ensured every step of the process met their highest standards and that there were no room for errors. She focused on all areas and ensured I had clear understanding of the process which assisted with my decision making. Throughout the whole process Jasmine were very transparent to work with and always available to support further with my endless queries.
I have gained more knowledge and clearer understanding of my legal matter now and I found a way to resolve within weeks with the help of Jasmine. I cannot address how relieved I am now to overcome the challenges on what was a decade of ongoing legal matter.
I have regrets that I did not turn to Richmond Chambers team earlier. I can assure that the their services and professionalism exceeded my expectations and I will continue to work with them moving forward with any advice and future applications.
G. P.
Stefania helped me with a naturalisation document check service. She understood my circumstances immediately and assisted to the best of her possibilities. She patiently answered all questions I had after our meeting with precise information. I recommend!
J. S.
Zarina Rahman helped me and my partner develop our spouse visa application for the first time. We had a bit of a complicated case as both of us were self-employed in some regard, and wanted to make sure we were presenting information correctly for the case worker. She was responsive, detailed, and went the extra mile in ensuring our application was as strong as possible. We were approved quickly after submitting – overall, it made for a very easy and smooth process.
A. A.
I cannot recommend Alex and her team at Richmond Chambers enough, she did an amazing job regarding my Indefinite Leave to Remain. Mine was discretionary, Alex and her team put together the necessary documentation and through their hard work and God's help the ILR was granted. I am very grateful for their professionalism, Alex was always ready to explain the processes, picked my calls and responded to my endless emails. I wish to use this opportunity to say thanks again. I am very grateful.
V. G.
Alexandra Pease and Alex Papasotiriou helped guide me through, what was a very long, frustrating, and arduous process in obtaining my Unmarried Partner Visa. They were highly knowledgeable, consistently available, proactively responsive, and exceptionally diligent from start to finish. I do not believe I would not have been able to achieve the positive outcome that transpired without their sage advice and assistance. I would highly recommend their services and plan to utilize their services once again when I need to apply for an extension to my ILR Visa. Thank you again for all of your help Alexandra and Alex!
P. C.
I highly recommend Zoe Bantleman, Georgina Griggs, and Annie Ee. The team did an amazing job on the application of our Visa. I found Richmond Chambers directly via google search and read through all the reviews that provided by others here, and I cannot agree more with everyone else after working with them. First, Zoe was extremely professional and knowledgeable about the matter we were enquiring about. She was also very patient in making sure she answered all our questions one by one. Second, the team worked swiftly and orderly throughout the whole application process and were extremely clear in their communications to the materials they need and responded to all our questions within a day (which is very impressive). I wish to use this opportunity to say thank you again and I would recommend this team to anyone out there who is looking to resolve immigration issues.
H. C.
Working with Richmond Chambers was a joy from start to finish. The team, headed up by Zoe Bantleman & comprising Georgina Griggs, Annie Fe & Lucy Cundy was exemplary at every turn. They were professional & informed, thorough, patient & responsive in a process both complex & at times daunting. The package created to guide us through the application was comprehensive & straightforward. I felt incredibly confident that everything was being done to guide us to a successful conclusion. And the level of attentiveness from the team made it very good value too! We wouldn't hesitate to work with Richmond again & would recommend without hesitation. Thank you all.
D. L. •.
I used Richmond Chambers for both a fiancé visa and spouse visa, and the service I received was truly excellent. I was given total guidance and advice that made everything I had to do clear. There was not a time when I was ignored or sidelined in any way.
I was represented by Georgina Griggs who is a highly skilled immigration barrister. She contacted me regularly on what I had to do and what information to supply her with. She was understanding, kind and very patient. I could not have been in better hands. She was aided by Annie Ee, who also assisted me with my applications, who was very helpful as well.
I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Georgina to anybody that needed to deal with the complex matters arising from applying for visas through the Home Office. Overall I highly recommend these advocates for their professionalism, high value and high quality.
A. K.
I highly recommend Zarina Rahman who helped me finally get my pre-settled status as a non-EU through an admin review. The wait from Home Office to make a final decision was extremely long, but Zarina went above and beyond to try to speed the process up by constantly chasing up HO and was always there to solve any difficulties I was facing while stuck in limbo. I will definitely use Zarina if I am to face any challenges again (hopefully will not need to!).
K. V.
Gillian has been advising me and my family on immigration matters since entry into the UK. She is always extremely professional and provided detailed follow-up emails, which is extremely helpful for understanding complicated immigration related matters. She lead our way to a succesful application for ILR. Her immigration knowledge is unparallelled, and she manages to explain the rules and options very clearly. The support staff also played a pivotal role to manage a very complicated and lenghty application. The electronic system was easy to navigate. We can highly recommend Richmond Chambers and specifically Gillian that we worked with for more than 3 years.
Є. І.
I used Richmond Chambers when applying for my wife's visa. We had two refusals and other solicitors told us that the chances were very small and the positive outcome. But due to high professionalism, dedication, hard work and deep knowledge of ways to make a strong application, our barrister Zarina Rahman and her helper Elana managed to get us a positive outcome of our 2 years battle with the Home office. I cannot thank her enough for her help in bringing my wife back to me.
I strongly recommend the company to anyone as they not only know what they are doing, but also know how to do it right. Thank you.
A. C.
Special thanks to Zoe Bantleman and Georgina Griggs. They were amazing and ensured that I had clear understanding of the process. The expertise, knowledge, and Professionalism they have shown was remarkable.
Although the ILR case was very complex but their immigration knowledge and representations resulting to a fantastic result.
Throughout the whole process, they ensured a prompt turnaround and provide all the options in detail. They understood the requirement very clear and provide their expert view to the point where I struggle with other immigration experts the most.
I would like to reiterate that professionalism and expertise they have in their area are very unique which is very re-assuring for the clients like me who can always come back to them for advice and representations on applications.
I would highly recommend them
T. S.
Excellent work by Zoe Bantleman, Georgina Griggs and Edward Abedian! It took me 63 days to get my Global Talent Visa from the time I reached out to them for an inquiry, and finally to the day I got my BRP. It was a struggle when I tried to process my application alone, but they gave thorough advise, provided tools and templates, and helped each step of the application process to ensure I'm in the position to get the visa. Having told them of my timelines, they were very quick to respond and provided all the necessary assistance I can get.
Because of their help, my application for Tech Nation endorsement (Stage 1) took a week to get approved, and Stage 2 in 4 days on Super Priority -- this was in contrast to typically 5-8 weeks.

Alexandra Pease and Alex Papasotiriou - the right people to assist with your visa application!
We would like to thank Alexandra Pease and Alex Papasotiriou of Richmond Chambers for their excellent work, professionalism and understanding, especially for their highly competent services and always being immediately available to discuss any developments by email.
At the beginning me and my husband thought we could do this by ourselves, but didn’t realise the level of paper work & preparation involved, we felt overwhelmed! Hence deciding to seek assistance. We looked at a few immigration barristers but didn’t get a sense of reassurance until we found Richmond Chambers and read their reviews, we decided to have a meeting with Alex Pease. The meeting with Alex was the right decision, we discussed our case and Alex listened very carefully and always explained things very clearly. Under the guidance of both Alex & Alex we gathered all the needed supporting documentation for our application. We finally knew we were heading in the right direction.
Our case’s progress was very much affected by the pandemic, we received the decision 14 months after submitting the application and we are very grateful for their assistance all the way. We got the result we wished for, a happy ending :)
We would highly recommend Alexandra Pease and Alex Papasotiriou! Without doubt, we’ll choose them again if we need any further assistance.

I began my journey with Paul Richmond 6 years ago to gain my initial two spouse resident visas and my ILR visa. Yesterday my application for naturalisation was also successful. I can’t thank Jasmine Theilgaard enough for her guidance, advice and responsiveness throughout the application. Paul and Jasmine have always given me confidence because they are very professional, knowledgable and communicate clearly and helpfully. The Chambers’ systems are well tuned, making it easy to understand precisely what paperwork is required. They are both incredibly supportive, always very responsive to any questions or concerns and with a very strong attention to detail. Paul and Jasmine both exemplify exceptional client service.

I approached this chambers to appeal my father's Adult Dependant Relative Visa from India. Actually I was astonished by the quick response from them and extremely clear direction. My barrister for the appeal was
Alex Papasotiriou, and he was such a professional on every stage of our appeal fighting with his level of knowledge and brilliant modus operandi which substantially reduced our stress. We won the appeal and I would like to mention my gratitude here and would recommend him. To mention this is a genuine rating the file no is GWF060762296.

Georgina Griggs helped me massively with my indefinite leave to remain application which was a difficult case due to some problems she managed to spot out. It was an extremely stressful year , and she helped get through the application from the very start till the very end.
Mentally speaking it’s very difficult to cope , wait and the fact it can get confusing with everything going on right now in 2020/21 , I was very relieved that she responds quickly , she is very detailed , hardworking and always updates me with every information possible.
I want to thank everyone who helped out with the application work as I am very grateful to the services that Georgina Griggs provided, it was simply outstanding.
I. N.
Alexandra Pease and Alex Papasoritriou have successfully secured a long term visitor visa for my mother and my disabled sister. Their service had been superb from the day one. Communication was always swift and clear and their attention to detail was phenomenal. I would recommend them unreservedly and will be forever grateful for their dedication, commitment and hard work.
R. Q.
We recently suffered a miserable experience with UKVI refusing Spouse and Dependent Children visas. Our case was fairly complex. We arranged an online chat, and Alexandra and Alex very quickly grasped the nature of situation and exact reasons for our refusal. For every interaction they had clearly done their homework and taken the time to read lengthy documents prior to our meeting.
We submitted an appeal to the refusals and subsequently submitted a clean sheet application. The appeal process was a frustratingly slow, and the Appeals Tribunal and UKVI repeatedly missed deadlines. However, we pushed our team hard to make very tight deadlines. I was particularly impressed when the team worked late on Friday night before a bank holiday weekend to get a new application in as soon as possible.
Subsequently, when extra work was required due to a request from the Entry Clearance Officer, they competed this with no further charge.
All communications were quick and emails responded to very rapidly. We received an excellent service with which we were very happy and ultimately resulted in us being granted the visas we needed, after an initial refusal, on a very tight timescale.
Of course, this level of service and professionalism comes at a price. Ensure you understand the fees you will need to pay for every step of the process. Their billing was a fixed price per stage and very clear, but our understanding of the process and steps where a new agreement would be required was not so great.
We would highly recommend Alexandra Pease and Alex Papasotiriou ably assisted by other Barristers when the workload was as its peak. Also Bernie Wood did an awesome job of liaising with us late into the night to actually get the applications submitted.
With hindsight, we wish we had used a lawyer to submit the initial application as it is clear, UKVI are more than happy to refuse applications that would appear to be simple. Thank you Richmond Chambers for digging us out of a hole. 5 stars.

Review for Zarina Rahman and Elana Kraymer at Richmond Chambers:
I hired Zarina for help with with my UK fiance visa application. She was assisted by Elana Kraymer.
Both Zarina and Elana were responsive and professional throughout the application process, and were able to answer all our questions. There was a definite peace of mind having assistance with such an important application!
M. E.
Richmond Chambers Immigration Barristers provides high quality immigration services and I have evidence of that not once but twice. My wife had a fantastic experience in the past being assisted by Zoe with her ILR. This time I had my ILR application fully prepared by Zoe Bantleman, Georgina Griggs, and Annie Ee. I must say, it was a peace of mind, given the complexity of my circumstances. Their in-depth knowledge of UK immigration laws takes the guesswork out of your application.

Special Thanks to Alex, and her team at Richmond Chambers!
They were amazing, and made the process less stressful with their knowledge, and expertise in working on Partner Visas.
Applying for a Visa seems really overwhelming, and very intimidating at first, I can’t imagine my husband, and I trying to do this on our own.
Alex, and her team were really great at explaining each step, as well as clarifying any questions we had. I tend to overthink instructions/questions at times especially in situations like these where you don’t want to mess up an application. They made sure we were prepared, and guided us in supplying the correct supporting documents. Which is really important.
I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is interested in applying for a visa.
It was a real pleasure working with Alex, and her team, and we will, no doubt work with them in the future for Visa renewals, I wouldn’t trust anyone else.
Thank you Alex! Can’t thank you enough!
You are much appreciated!

These guys are the best !
Adding to my original review (below) from 2018.
I have just successfully completed my Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa renewal with the help of Zoe Bantleman, Georgina Griggs and Annie Ee from Richmond Chambers. They are meticulously organised, thorough, committed and have gone above and beyond what we were expecting on every aspect of our visa renewal process.
From initial advise through what seemed like a sometimes overwhelming and complex submission process, till completion of our biometrics, they've been with us every step of the way.
Highly recommend. If you are looking for an immigration lawyer, these guys are the absolute best.

Highly recommended. These guys are good.
Dr. Catherine Taroni and Alex Papasotiriou handled my case from start to finish and have been an absolute pleasure to work with and thorough, right from our very first meeting.
A. B.
I contacted Richmond Chambers in July 2019 regarding a rejected visa application. I was then introduced me to Mr Simon Canter. Mr Canter’s knowledge of the UK immigration process and law is second to none. He was honest and extremely professional in his approach. Throughout the process, the quality of advice I received was excellent. I was carefully guided through the whole appeal process including preparing the file and representing me in the court. Despite the situation I was in, I was made to feel confident about my case even though I had almost given up due to my struggles with the home office in the last 5 years. It feels like I have got a second chance at life in the UK and I can’t thank Richmond Chambers enough.
I would highly recommend Richmond Chambers and more specifically Mr Simon Canter to anyone seeking Professional advice regarding their immigration matters.
A. D.
We can’t thank Alexandra Pease and Alex Papasotiriou enough for their tremendous assistance with a successful Leave to Remain application - Partner Route.
Alexandra Pease and Alex Papasotiriou are experts in immigration matters and guided us through the application effortlessly. They were always available for our questions and went the extra mile.
We highly recommend Alexandra Pease and Alex Papasotiriou as the go-to professionals for all immigration matters.

THE BEST LAW FIRM EVER. A special thank you to Alex.
This is the third time he has assisted myself and family with our applications.
As a family, we are all very grateful to Alex and Richmond Chambers for all their hard work. Alex provided us with fantastic communication, support and service throughout the whole process. He was always available to answer any questions or concerns from day one. He would literally reply to my emails within minutes. His professionalism, high level of knowledge and overall attentiveness to the case resulted in the best possible outcome.
During such a difficult time he has filled our hearts with lots of happiness and hope. We are forever grateful to Richmond Chambers and Alex in particular for their exceptional service.

We worked with Zarina and Elania to get a UK visa. They were fantastic. Extremely responsive, thorough and completely professional. Highly recommend them for all immigration/visa needs.
A. B.
The services provided by Richmond Chambers are worth every penny. They provide outstanding service and their knowledge of the UK immigration process and law is unmatched We worked with Jasmine Theilgaard who demonstrated a very professional approach at each and every step of the case, with amazing response times. This is a firm you can rely on to get it right. I have already recommended their services to family and friends.
B. M.
I had excellent service from Zoe, Georgina, and Annie, helping me to make sense of and apply for a complicated visa status. After years of applying solo, I credit making the step to work with Richmond Chambers as what really elevated my application. Would highly recommend!

Working with Richmond Chambers for my Tier 1 Global Talent Visa was an excellent experience and I wholeheartedly recommend this firm for others seeking support in their visa application. The team provided detailed guidance on all documentation needed, step-by-step instructions, and made themselves available to answer all questions. A big thank you to the team at Richmond Chambers, especially Zoe Bantleman, Georgina Griggs, and Edward Abedian!
P. T. M.
Mr.Alex Papasotiriou was my Barrister and his colleague Caspar Latham helped and assisted on my complex immigration application for ILR Long Residency. To be noted they are very professional, extremely knowledgable, experienced and has outstanding friendly service. They were absolutely fabulous from start to end on my case. I highly recommend my Barrister, his colleague and the Richmond Chambers to anyone who is in need for the immigration application concern.
Thank you once again for your outstanding service.

Catherine was amazing throughout I had to switch lawyers as my lawyer left. She was very thorough and supportive and I cannot recommend them enough. I think we will be reaching out to them for the renewal process as well just to be on the safe side.

My family would like to thank Geraldine Peterson, Jasmine Theilgaard and Richmond Chambers for their help and contribution towards the successful outcome to our very difficult situation. Geraldine Peterson and Jasmine Theilgaard have worked tirelessly over past two and a half years on our case and used their knowledge and experience in achieving this positive outcome. We would also like to thank Andre Armenian, Wendy Barnes, Samantha Lee and others at the Chambers who have worked on our case in the background.
Geraldine is a senior barrister who has immense experience on immigration matters, her confidence and conviction at the strength of the case was palpable at our very first meeting. I was very touched with the compassion she showed to our situation and took down every detail and our meetings always had a personal touch. Jasmine later joined her to work on our case and the evidence gathering was turbo charged. They worked tirelessly paying attention to every aspect and covering every eventuality. Jasmine made sure we could work on the case remotely during the difficult period of COVID. I always felt that we were working in partnership rather than being in a client: barrister relationship. The virtual meetings were always arranged as per my convenience and availability and the communication was very prompt through emails. All of us could edit the documents and evidence folder over the cloud.
I would highly recommend Geraldine Peterson, Jasmine Theilgaard and Richmond Chambers to anyone requiring help with immigration matters. The professionalism, knowledge and experience in immigration matters and quality of advice is par excellence.
M. F.
When every other solicitors told me that my leave to remain application is not going to be successful. Miss Zoe Bantleman helped me successfully get my PR card! Special thanks to Zoe she is so professional and patient! I will highly recommend anyone who has complicated immigration history to use Richmond Chambers immigration service. Literally the best firm !
A. C.
Richmond Chambers assisted us with our FLR(M) application which was made in February 2021 and successfully granted in March 2021. We worked with Ms. Alexandra Pease and Mr. Bernie Wood. We cannot recommend them highly enough. They are professional, thorough, meticulous, very reassuring, and also wonderful people to work with. Alex and Bernie took us through the entire procedure and we felt at ease having immigration experts advise us and make the application on our behalf, a process which can be very daunting at times. They ensured that any and all our questions were answered. We will be returning to Richmond Chambers when the time comes to make an application for ILR. This was already our second time using their services for an application to the Home Office. We highly recommend them!
A. F.
There are not enough words to thank Alex & Alex and their team for the great job they did re ADR visa for my son!!! We are still recovering after the difficult time we had but we'll never forget how supportive Alex & Alex were through all the problems and processes, not only on a professional level but on a person's level too. It felt as if they cared about all three of us like they were very close friends. Their response was always prompt and efficient. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone in need of immigration advice! I feel very lucky that my husband found Alexandra Pease and she teamed up with Alex Papasotiriou. Many-many thanks to both of you and your team!!!

I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with the team at Richmond & Chambers to immigrate to the UK and I highly recommend hiring them for advisement. Dr. Catherine Taroni worked with me to find an endorser and apply for the Innovator visa. She helped me navigate a most complicated process, one that has many barriers and was challenging to do without counsel. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, incredibly kind, professional, and prompt in her replies offering realistic advice and also reassurance when needed. Many thanks

Richmond Chambers Barristers are a group of fantastic people who help me and my entire family secure a leave to remain in the United kingdom in few months with their extremely helpful service after I have struggled for over ten years with other layers and barristers.
Barrister Alexandra Pease is always willing to listen and I was never made to feel like I needed to rush through my questions. She is a compassionate woman.
Barrister Alex Papasotiriou gave me a very good advice, he was helpful and very attentive. He patiently heard me out and he takes pride in what he does.
Others wonderful people like Lucy Cundy, Lucy Katko, Caspar Latham and Bernie Wood has really impress me with the level of their professionalism and dedication. An excellent service was provided to me from beginning to the end.
I will definitely recommend Richmond Chambers Immigration Barristers to a friend.
S. B.
I had the good fortune of finding Geraldine Peterson. Her advice, communication, expertise, patience and kindness was so very appreciated . Being able to put my international family situation and my 3 childrens immigration into her hands was the best decision ever. Wendy Barnes had patience and such attention to detail, diligently helping my case. I am a doctor and as a professional, am humbled and can only hope to someday communicate, support and help patients in a similar way. I never expected such comprehensive explanations and follow through. It has been a privilege to know Geri and Wendy. On behalf of myself and my children thankyou!
N. C.
We have had chance to get amazing support of Mrs. Geraldine Peterson who is a member of Richmond Chambers Immigration Barristers. She was absolutely amazing, her HUGE experience, professionalism, dedication, her out-of-box thinking style and encouraging approach did make us to take this brave step to relocate to the UK. Under her guidance we were assured of the necessary steps to be taken correctly in very short time and she was always there with an open heart for us to respond as quick as possible. She was a true relief to our concerns. She makes you feel safe and secure. I know this immigration period is a stressful and a worrying thing, but one can not go wrong with the guidance Mrs. Peterson, that's for sure! She gives you the easiest and shortest way to success. She is always on your side and you feel really convenient with her ! Highly recommended! Thank you.
H. D.
A wonderful team of professional barristers. I have completed my Innovator Visa process guided by Dr. Catherine Taroni. I cannot thank her enough for her professionalism, commitment, and prompt responses to all my questions and concerns. I am grateful and very impressed with the impeccable support I have received throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend Richmond Chambers for immigration matters.
M. H.
A special thank you to the team at Richmond Chambers. Zarina Rahman and the Richmond Chambers team were extremely helpful throughout my application process. Zarina listened to my concerns with empathy, managed my case really well. Zarina is very professional, extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and provided me with effective solutions tailored to my situation. I would highly recommend Richmond Chambers and more specifically Zarina Rahman to anyone seeking professional advice regarding their immigration matters.
E. S.
I highly recommend Richmond Chambers. I was luckily to have Zarina Rahman support me with my citizenship application. She was very knowledgable about immigration law and thorough in her review of my application. She was also super responsive in our long exchanges. Worth every penny. Getting support from the best is definitely worth it for something so important; it can make the difference between an acceptance and rejection.
I. H. P.
I am extremely happy with the quality of legal representation I received from Richmond Chambers.
A big thank you to Ms. Gillian McCall and her team (including but not restricted to Mr. Caspar Latham).
In my quest for ILR, I have tried 3 different lawyers in the last 6 years before finally settling on Ms. Gillian.
From the very beginning, she and her team have been so professional, enthusiastic, resourceful, and methodical in their approach.
She explained the requirements for ILR to me well in advance, so I could start preparing the documents months before my intended application date and told me exactly what to do and expect every step of the way.
From the outset, Ms. Gillian has been very knowledgeable and timely with her responses and delivered on all her promises.
I am so glad to have found her from the 100’s of lawyers available in the UK and can say hand on heart they are the best in the market and I would recommend them to anyone needing immigration services.

Zoe Bantleman and Edward Abedian handled my global talent visa application. Absolutely professional and high quality service. They were with me through the entire process and produced perfect documentation and helped me collect references and documents. They were very responsive throughout and extremely knowledgeable in the process. Highly recommend!
The service is not cheap but this is the best you can get and completely justifies the cost.
J. H.
Richmond Chambers, and particularly Alexandra Pease and Bernie Wood, were absolutely incredible in helping us with our application. We had used Richmond Chambers for an application previously and they came through brilliantly again. Alex and Bernie were always there to help reasure us of the process, keep us informed of everything that was happening with the application, deadlines, and updates, and put toether everything into a perfect submission. They went to great lengths to provide the utmost professionalism and server and were always there to help. We can't thank them enough for their help and work on our submission.

The Richmond Chambers Immigration Barristers were extremely helpful for us in our Visa application process. we were blessed and lucky to find Richmond chambers to do our application.
Without them we wouldn't have been able to get our visa for sure, since our case was a complicated one. Our barrister Zoe Bantleman was outstanding, knowledgeable and very professional.
After our first initial meeting with Zoe she explained us all pros and cons, given us a detailed summary of case and what she possibly can do to get our settlement visa.
She did excellent work by preparing over 860 pages of bundle and strong application and went through each and every supporting documents with us, and submitted a strong write up to provide a strong ground for our case.
Our family is finally united just because of her hard work. We are very thankful to Ms Zoe Bantleman and her entire team and we would highly recommend Richmond Chambers to anyone who wants help in Immigration matters.

We are so grateful to have the opportunity to have Richmond Chambers to help us on our visa issue. Zoe Bantleman and Stefania Patuto from Richmond Chambers are very professional and helpful on handling our immigration application. They are always so responsive and patient on explaining and guiding us throughout the process. Everything went very smooth and saved us a lot of hassle. We highly recommend them on handling any immigration matters..

I received an excellent service from Richmond Chambers LLP. I am glad my immigration case was dealt by Gillian. She is very polite, friendly and professional and has helped me find a solution in regards to my immigration matter.
Thank you for all your support and hard work.

High professionalism and knowledge in Immigration Law
I am very grateful for the high professional service received from Richmond Chambers, specially from Mrs Gerardine Peterson and Mrs Jasmine Theilgaard. With their knowledge in immigration, professionalism and efficiency, Mrs Peterson and Mrs Theilgaard have been able to successfully resolve my difficult case with the Home Office on EEA application.
Beside the high level of legal advise, I received moral support from them which, in my opinion, is an additional value for immigration barristers dealing with very sensitive matters.

I HIGHLY recommend Richard Chambers, but especially Alexandra Pease. She is an amazing senior barrister with 10+ years of experience.
Our case was quite complicated as my partner had past refusals because we had previously used a much cheaper solicitor and received an awful service and incorrect advice. Please do not go for a slightly cheaper lawyer at another firm and make the same mistake we did, it has cost us refusals, stress and years of our lives.
Therefore we opted for an expert, our barrister Alexandra Pease. Due to coronavirus, lockdowns and the closure of many borders our application had to be lodged quite quickly to prevent my partner from overstaying his previous visa, we received a team of 4 to work on our case. Alexandra Pease and her 3 colleagues were brilliant and I highly recommend them as well; Alex Papasotiriou, Stefania Patuto and Caspar Latham.
The whole team exceeded our expectations, they were all very helpful, professional, worked quickly and made the process and requirements extremely easy to understand. Even without attending their offices because of the current restrictions, they have well organised electronic systems in place for you to upload any documents required. (It's really easy and hassle free!)
To top it off, my partner was granted a long term visa thanks to their expertise. They are amazing and sooooooo worth it! When the time comes to renew my partners visa we will definitely be using Alexandra Peice, Alex Papasotiriou and their team again, as it's just not worth lodging a long term visa application without their legal knowledge. I cannot thank and recommend them enough!!!
b. b.
Richmond Chambers are the best immigration barristers in the country. I am so glad I chose them over any other firm. I want to extend a special thanks to Alex Papasotiriou and Caspar . Alex has assisted me and my sister in our most difficult times. Both Alex and Caspar dealt with my case in a very understanding and professional manner. I was provided with high class service throughout the whole process. They were responsive whenever I had a query and always made me feel reassured. I admire and appreciate their vigorous work ethic. Were it not for them I don't think my case would've been successful. Therefore I’ll always be grateful to them, and will highly recommend them!

I’m writing to highly recommend Dr. Catherine Taroni, a barrister at Richmond Chambers LLP in London, who helped me obtain a Global Talent Visa for the UK much faster than I expected. This is the first time I’ve written a public review for any company or person, but the service I received from her was so fantastic, I wanted to share my experience in the hopes that it could be of help to others.
I reached out via email to Catherine a few months ago for advice on options to apply for a visa to emigrate to the UK from the US. We set up a time to talk the next day and went through all of my options in detail. She then followed up shortly with multiple pages of detailed notes, helping explain the short and long-term advantages of each option, the different services she could offer, and the different costs for her services and different visa options.
I found Catherine to be very professional, knowledgeable, and kind, and I’m very happy I hired her to prepare and submit my application. I believe her experience not only helped me secure a positive decision, but saved me a lot of money and time. Applying for a visa can be a very confusing and stressful process, but Catherine always made me feel at ease and confident with how to move forward. Looking through our correspondence, we traded dozens of emails which were always returned very promptly, usually within a few hours. We also had several phone and video calls, which helped the process feel even more personal.
I ended up receiving my visa much faster than I expected. The first stage of my application with endorsement from the Arts Council of England could have taken up to 2 months to review, but I received a positive decision in 12 days. The second and final part of my application could have taken several weeks, but I received a positive decision in about half that time.
For anyone looking for professional representation for a UK visa application, I strongly recommend getting in touch with Dr. Catherine Taroni at Richmond Chambers LLP.

For anyone who’s looking for an immigration barrister Richmond and chambers are the people to go to! They have been outstanding and very supportive along the way.
My case wasn’t straight forward and had slim chances of winning, but Richmond and chambers made my case the best they possibly could and what a good job they did.
My barrister was Alex and Jasmine, I just want to say a massive thank you for your continued hard work and support along the way you all done an amazing job.

Alexandra Pease and Bernard Wood were both exceptional throughout the visa application process. They produced a very detailed partner visa application with substantial supporting documentation that I believe was instrumental to achieving a successful outcome. I highly recommend their services.

As a non-EU citizen, I had a complicated immigration history in the UK which partly had possibly been affected by accessing past unreliable immigration advises. My British husband had fortunately come across Richmond Chambers website by reading their fantastic reviews. Every penny we spent for the superb expertise of this chamber was so worth it. We were once, so desperate to be together and so we contacted the Richmond office. I was dealt very professionally by this firm from the beginning until the end. And we are ever so fortunate to be handled by Dr. Catherine Taroni. Her professionalism and expertise are beyond our expectations. She had explained thoroughly every aspect on my immigration history, discussed every details, provided options that centrally respect our decisions and prepared our application and documents spotless! After several years of fighting with the home office, spending tons of money on appeals with different solicitors, when we met Dr. Catherine - our fresh application had been an incredible success!!! We could not believe it until now! And we cannot thank her enough for knowing our application in a very meticulous and perfectionist way which were exactly what we needed in the most desperate time of our lives. Me and my husband are finally back together in the UK. Thank you Dr. Catherine, we are in awe of you and we hope you can help more people like me. Thank you Richmond Chambers, we highly recommend your services.

To be very very honest, the very passion, the very professionalism as well as the very dedication which I have received from Richmond Chambers> Alexandra Pease, Zoe Bantleman and others makes me feel that you actually are my perfect choice in case of lawyers. This is the second time I had the opportunity to receive the legal help from them with my immigration application. They went above and beyond when working on my case. They are the best lawyers I have ever come across.

Being a South African I started my journey with a SA based company here, it was all a rush and last minute disaster, and my paper work was failed for insufficient evidence. Saying that I was devastated is putting it mildly.
Miss Google recommended Richmond Chambers, needless to say I was very nervous starting the process over. I was put through to Alexandra on my first call, she was patient and kind and listened to my long sad story(which she did again and again many times after, sorry Alex) she was so methodical and the amount of papers put forward the second time was trebble, she left nothing to chance.
Her assistants Jasmine and Stefania spent hours re taking statements, never impatient and I never felt rushed or that anything was ever too much trouble, and always at the other end of the phone
Simon was the guy who represented me at my hearing, I was a bundle of nerves, he reassured me the whole way through and put my case forward amazingly, WE WON.
I would recommend this firm to anyone looking for results.

It was a great pleasure to have Alexander pease from Richmond Chambers for handling my 1st tier tribunal with utmost professionalism. She was prompt in addressing all my queries and accommodated our tight deadline. I was very impressed with the quality of the plan she & her team drew up for me. Thanks to their attention to details, my visa was granted. I cannot emphasize enough how professional and dedicated they are to their clients. We will definitely use Richmond Chambers at the time of extension and We highly recommend.

I had a lovely experience at Richmond Chambers with Alexandra Pease and Alex Papasotiriou. They are quite professional and honest barristers. They cared for my benefits first and did not hide anything. They guided me at every step very thoroughly. They are knowledgeable, experienced and dedicated barristers. I will strongly recommend them. I had a wonderful experience.
d. l.
Attentive, professional, courteous, intelligent, and hardworking. Immigration matters are complicated and time-consuming, and using Richmond Chambers will make your life easier and stress free. My wife and I have been using their services for years, and having this company's name on your documents almost guarantees success.

I consulted with Bernie Wood for advice about a UK visa application. Bernie was very thorough and helpful. He laid out the relevant parts of UK law and suggested exactly what evidence could be used to support the application. Thanks to Bernie's help, the application was successful.

I've had the pleasure of working with Zoe Bantleman, Georgina Griggs, Edward Abedian and Annie Ee. They were professional, responsive and assisted me with my successful application for indefinite leave to remain. They have made the whole process stress-free and I am extremely grateful for their help. I highly recommend their professional services for your immigration matter.

My family and I received invaluable advice from Dr Catherine Taroni from Richmond Chambers. No rating would be high enough to reflect her professionalism, knowledge of law and ability to connect the dots to find the easiest solution. She suggested us to take a route which was missed by all countless immigration advisers I turned to before. The second easiest way suggested by one of them would have cost us some £10k more, meant finding tons of supporting documents and [most importantly] at least 7.5 years longer before we could get our settlement permission.
Now, when it’s all behind us and the shiny ILR cards rest in our wallets I would like to thank Dr Taroni very much!
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her advice to anybody who needs professional help with immigration. Worth every penny is an understatement!
S. H.
Alex Papasotiriou and Richmond Chambers are top class. Alex, who was ably assisted by Robin Pickard and Wendy Barnes, answered all of our many queries quickly and in detail on what was a potentially complicated partner visa application. His advice and meticulous preparation of our document bundle led to a successful outcome. A word of thanks also to Emma Greenwood, who was our initial point of contact at Richmond Chambers. We would have no hesitation in recommending Alex and the Richmond Chambers team to anybody who has the need of an immigration barrister.
m. d.
I would highly recommend Richmond Chambers! I took advice from Zoe Bantleman about my complicated tier 2 work visa. She is really helpful and very thorough. She explained everything so properly and I can’t thank her enough for the perfect advice. I would without a doubt go for Richmond Chamber for any immigration advice/application help.

I worked with Zarina Rahman at Richmond Chambers on an application spousal leave to remain and was extremely satisfied with all aspects of the process. The application was submitted with the COVID lockdown pending and Zarina and her team worked quickly and efficiently to submit the application ahead of schedule to avoid additional complications. Our application was handled very professionally and Zarina clearly explained the issues, rules and process and ultimately achieved the best possible outcome available. I would strongly recommend Zarina and the Richmond Chambers team for all UK immigration matters. Many thanks!

Richmond Chambers is a Fantastic firm with very high professional values. My case was complex and not a straightforward one.I am very much happy with the excellent service provided by Gillian McCall. She has in depth knowledge and solid understanding of immigration matters. Gillian and team has helped me in each and every stage of my application and kept me informed at all times. Answered all my queries,emails and phone calls promptly.
A must go place for people who want peace of mind and get the job done in first attempt.
I would highly recommend Richmond Chambers to all.

My husband Oliver and I made the tragic realization that we made a massive mistake on our application, so we contacted Richmond Chambers to see what we could do. From the moment we were connected with Daria and Miss Georgina Griggs, were felt so reassured and supported.
We had an especially complicated and nightmare-ish situation on our hands, but Georgina made it possible not only to salvage our current application (saving us over €3000 euros in error-related fees!) but also to get an SUCCESSFUL spousal visa in a matter of weeks. She caught mistakes and details that we would NEVER have been able to find on our own.
We are over-the-moon - it's our dream to move to the UK, and so we could not be more grateful to Georgina in her amazing efforts. Even with our nonstop questions and complex situation, she was able to advise us with grace and kindness.
Every penny spent on our consultation was 100% worth it. I would do it again in a heartbeat. The compassion and genuine care put into the work made visa approval an easy decision, and a world of a difference for us.
S. N.
I am highly pleased with the service that Zoe Bantleman provided. We used Richmond Chambers to switch in-country visa-types and could not have done so without Zoe's clear direction and advice during the covid-19 pandemic. Although we waited nearly 5 months to receive an answer from the home office (due to covid-19 delays), we were extremely confident in our application due to the rigid requirements that Zoe had us abide by. Having done so, our application was approved with flying colours. I would highly recommend Zoe to anyone!

Thank you Alex and Alexandra for your professional services. Anyone looking to hire a immigration lawyer should look no further. I have a family member which their case was very complicated, chances of winning were very slim.
Alex and Alexandra managed to turn around a case which most lawyers I believe wouldn’t of achieved. Having used other lawyers for the same case the difference between Richmond Chambers and the other firm was like night and day.
Their response is second to none, the main thing was honesty from the beginning and the level of detail they went in was very impressive. For anyone out there I highly recommend Richmond Chambers . Again Alex and Alexandra thank you for your help.

I can’t thank Richmond Chambers enough for their help!
2 years ago, I was in a very difficult situation having to divorce my husband. I depended on him for my spouse visa and still was 1.5 years until I could apply for ILR. As my passport was a Citizen of Ukraine one, I had no hope to continue my life in UK. After calling 12 different Immigration Barristers and Lawyers, starting from the most expensive down to small private individual law firms not one would take my case – they all shared the same response, that I would not have a chance to win. This was quite damaging as I felt like I had no way out.
One of the firms however was Richmond Chambers. I did my research in advance and knew exactly who I wanted as my barrister. Alex Pease had a great review and I was hopping she could help me. After speaking to a very polite receptionist and explaining what my problems was, I was invited for consultation. Consultation lasted an hour and Alex patiently listened to my story and took as many notes as she needed. Then I was told they will come back to me within 24h to announce their decision on whether they willing to take on my case. This was promising as I did not reach this stage with any other firms. Alex personally called me the next day and offered her services. She mentioned it’s going to be a very difficult journey, but we have a small chance. I was over the moon about this prospect.
Alex was very professional and knowledgeable through the whole time of my journey. Alex and her team provided me with all the support I needed starting from completing the application forms and supporting documents to mentally guiding me through the difficult times.
Halfway through my journey I met Alex Papasotiriou, who then stood by me and represented me in court during the hearing. His knowledge in Immigration law and very gentle sympathetic character has helped me a lot through the hearing. Both Alex & Alex presented the highest level of professionalism throughout their work with my case. Also, the junior barrister Stefania Patuto has been very helpful as and when I needed help with my documents.
After incredibly difficult Human Rights case leading to court hearing 2 months ago, I have received the judge’s decision to grant me leave. This would of never of happened without the amazing help from Richmond Chambers.
I am forever grateful to Alex Peace and Alex Papasotiriou for their impeccable service!

I got my visa successfully granted with the help of Alexis Slatter of Richmond Chambers. He is not only very professional but also has a genuine intention to go out of his way to help out his client. With his friendly and approachable character, I felt extremely comfortable communicating with him from the day one. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a helpful and experienced immigration barrister.
P. T. M.
My long residency ILR was granted so I really appreciate Alex Papasotiriou (Barrister) and his colleague Casper Latham because the service I received from them was wonderful. He is extremely Professionalism & Responsiveness. My case was complicated but they went through my case step by step which was amazing. Thanks once again and I would highly recommend them and their law firm Richmond Chambers LLP.

One word for Richmond Chambers is through Professionals , I am lucky to found them online.
From making an initial appointment to dealing with my case the whole process went smoothly.
I contacted them when my previous solicitor was preparing to file for an Administrative review for my Tier 1 Enterprenuer Visa and I was not too satisfied with them.
So I approached Richmond Chambers.
My Barrister Ms Gillian McCall took over my case , she prepared for solid Administrative review and the case went for a hearing.
Case was so very well prepared by Ms McCall looking into each and every detail and aspect in such a manner that Home Office had no grounds to challenge the same in the court.
Please note while the whole process was taking place I was in India , yet I was represented so well in the court and my case was prepared in such a manner that now I have been granted my Enterprenuer Visa on 28.01.2020.
Trust me it was so very quick and hassle free.
I am extremely happy and thankful to Ms Gillian McCall and Richmond Chambers for making this now possible for me to start my business in the UK , it's a new beginning for me and I am excited.
She was always available through emails and phone patiently answering and clearing my doubts and questions.
From the very first day Ms McCall gave me confidence that my case is quite strong and I shall be granted Enterprenuer Visa.
With my experience I can confidently say that Ms Gillian McCall is the best Immigration Barrister , she is highly efficient , competent , extremely passionate about her job and knows her job well.
From now on Richmond Chambers and Ms Gillian McCall will be one stop for me and my family for any immigration issues.
I highly recommend their services and sincerely wish Ms Gillian a great career ahead.
If you want peace of mind and a genuine solicitor firm than please do not hesitate to approach Richmond Chambers.
I cant thank them enough specially Ms McCall.
E. B.
I would really want to say a big thank you to Richmond Chamber's, most especially Alex Pease, Benny Wood and Stephania Patuto.
These fantastic people have been extremely amazing, professionals at the top level, and they've been of a tremendous help to me and my family. We went to them with a case that was absolutely impossible to get a good results, because my immigration history in the UK was very terrible that most barristers wouldn't even look at it.
I went through a terrible ordeals in the hands of quack solicitors, and I was eventually removed back to my home country. There are so many things that even made my case just impossible to be successful because of my past immigration history.
But through their hard work, their deep knowledge in the UK immigration laws and their professionalism, I've received the best news my family have been waiting for in so many years.
If you've an immigration issue that looks bleak, and impossible to succeed, I recommend Richmond Chambers for you, and you'll never regret choosing them. Top notch barristers in the whole of UK.
Thank you Alexandra Pease, Benny Wood and Stephania Patuto. One thing for sure, they'll always exceed your expectations.

We are extremely happy that we chose Richmond chamber barristers for our visa application. We chose Alexandra peace. Alex Papasotoriou also worked together with Peace. They are professional and highly qualified barristers. We struggled for 3 years since our marriage to get visa but was not successful. We went to all other solicitors but was not successful and our case became even complicated.
Then we found Richmond chambers , we followed their advice and our case became successful. We highly recommend Richmond chambers.
A. O.
My husband and I can recommend Ms. Alexandra Pease to anyone who needs the best immigration lawyer. She is very experienced, patient and extremely responsive. Our case was to apply for my spouse visa from the US where I have permanent residency. Just 3.5 months after we contacted Richmond Chambers for the first time, I had my passport back with the visa vignette in it. Ms. Pease’s detailed advice and responsiveness and the great efficiency of Richmond Chambers took the stress out of the process. It is stressful enough to move from one country to another, so not worrying about the visa made our lives much easier. We are going to work with her on the visa extension and applying for Leave to Remain.
E. S.
I discovered Richmond Chambers when searching the internet for help regarding a challenge against my Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa. The help, guidance, and assistance given from A to Z were very professional, friendly and quick. I was extremely impressed with the communications and attention to details especially from Dr. Catherine Taroni and other assigned barrister to my case. I felt very reassured and relaxed that the best possible compilation and presentation of evidence and documentation had been achieved and presented to the Home Office.
Dr. Catherine's consultations was very helpful and the end result was a total victory for me in getting my Tier 1 visa.
I would not hesitate to use Richmond Chambers again until I get my UK citizenship and would most certainly recommend them to family, friends and business associates.
S. C.
Dr. Catherine Taroni and Marianne Schonle assisted me with my (successful) application for ILR during a period when immigration processes were complicated by the COVID-19 crisis. They provided invaluable guidance through each step of the complex process.
Dr. Taroni has an exceptional understanding of immigration law, and meticulously assessed and organised every detail of my application. Furthermore, the team went over and above their contractual responsibilities by providing regular updates on changing immigration procedures through the period, and were regularly available on short notice to assist with any queries.
I would not have been able to navigate this process without their guidance, and would strongly recommend them to anyone seeking immigration advice.

It has been over a year since I got my tier 4 visa to pursue my masters. I had so many complications with the visa I was applying due to a visa refusal for alleged breach of conditions and a year ban. I am very determined to study masters as this would help change my career but the chances of me getting approval are none to slim, although I know that the previous visa refusal is unfair, I did not know how to prove that to UKVI. That is when I consulted Richmond Chambers and made my application with Ms. Zoe Bantleman, who's is absolutely amazing. Providing a consistent and excellent standard of documents with all the proofs that I have provided. Her calmness, attention to the detail, and diplomatic manner helped me overcome the complex hurdles that I have. She at one point went above and beyond, to chase an interview for my Visa and in the end, I did get approval. However, she was kind to keep in contact until I reached the U.K. and settled. Today, I am writing this with a distinction in my masters. This wouldn't have possible without Ms. Zoe Bantleman's advocacy. Thank you!
R. Y.
Zarina deserves a 5 star rating for her work on my UK partner visa. It was not a straight forward case but Zarina made us comfortable from start to finish, and we were very pleased with the outcome of her work. She is professional, responsive and extremely knowledgeable on immigration affairs. I would definitely utilize her services in the future and she has our highest recommendation. Thanks Zarina!!

Zoe Bantleman within Richmond Chambers handled my application for indefinite leave to remain under my Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) visa. She was outstanding throughout the entire process.
Richmond Chambers offers different services to assist your ILR application. I made an option for the checking service as it fitted with my budget - checking service offers a cost-effective way to ensure that your visa or immigration application satisfies the requirements of the immigration rules. If you are willing to prepare your visa or immigration application yourself, the immigration barristers can check your application and advise you as to any required or recommended amendments, before you submit your application to UK Visas & Immigration. Richmond Chambers can tell you in detail what each service ( checking or application preparation, when the full application is prepared by them) offers. This helps you to make a decision of which service and budget suits you best. If you have a complicated situation and a support case based on the law needs to be built, you may option for the application preparation packet.
Zoe Bantleman knows the regulations. By working with her, I saved time, avoided many errors, and submitted a thorough and organised application. My application was a bit more complicated as the required time that I have to be continuous living in the UK was through the combination of two different types of visa. Without Zoe's services I wouldn't have submitted a strong application case and wouldn't have submitted all the required documents. I plan to engage with Zoe and Richmond Chambers for my next application.

I had one of the most complicated immigration cases since 2001. Over the last 12 years I applied for settlement visa three times and I refused and appealed against the decision that was not successful until I found ‘’Richmond Chambers Immigration Barristers firm’’. I met Mr Paul Richmond and his experience team. He was always available and responsive and very accurate and professional. He was able to persuade the home office officer before we go to the court. Therefore they withdraw the appeal case and asked ECO to grant me the visa. That was amazing and also the good experience for me. He is the best barrister I have ever seen and I recommended him to all who have complex immigration case. Certainly you are in the right hand and you have chosen the best. I thank him from here and wish him success in all phases of life.
D. G.
I am so happy to have worked with Jasmine Theilgaard. This year has been especially tough with Covid-19 and the restrictions put in place. Jasmine was able to help me out whenever I needed and always updated me with the latest information so that I may make the best decision. I am very happy that I am now studying in London and am not stuck in another country because I had to make my application from abroad. Thanks so much Jasmine! Highly recommend her to anyone who needs help with their visa!
E. S.
We would very highly recommend this firm. They are extremely thorough and professional. We used Richmond Chambers for our Indefinitely Leave to Remain application 2 years ago, and Paul and Gillian were extremely professional and confident in the quality of their work. The application was successful. We then went back to them to prepare our Citizenship Application and our Barrister Gillian McCall was so professional, thorough and detailed that our application was approved in a record four weeks. Gillian knows her stuff and thinks about literally everything that you need to cover to ensure a successful application. Prices are not cheap but don't let that deter you, it's worth every penny. After all, you get what you pay for and with Richmond Chambers you get real barristers who are at the top of their profession and understand the legal system very well. We would highly recommend them.
R. A.
Amazing, Amazing, Amazing. From start to finish the team from Richmond Chambers were professional, empathetic, supportive and extremely knowledgeable. Applying for any visa can be quite stressful and my case wasn't straightforward. Catherine led the case and was contactable at all times. She provided invaluable knowledge, experience and support throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Richmond Chambers and especially Catherine. My application was returned late which caused even more anxiety however Catherine followed up to ensure a decision was made as soon as possible. In addition her expert content knowledge about the ever changing laws regarding immigration ensured that I was in a safe pair of hands at all times. Catherine was patient and went beyond the call of duty. Thanks so much! The best lawyers I have had the pleasure of engaging with.

I used Richmond Chambers to assist with my citizenship application. I worked with Stefania Patuto on my application. Stefania was professional, diligent, organised and responsive. I would highly recommend.

The legal services provided by Richmond Chambers immigration barristers in general and Paul in particular could not be better.
We got our Visa (myself, husband and two children) without going through an interview after only few weeks we submitted our file.
Actually we had no doubts given the thoroughness, attention to all details and knowledge of the law displayed by Paul and his team during the preparation of our file. When we received our file ready for submission, we were just amazed of how the work was beautifully done!!! and were very relaxed till we received the good news.
I cannot emphasize enough how professional and dedicated they are to their clients. We will definitely use Richmond Chambers at the time of extension and We highly recommend.
well done Paul & Team.
C. C.
A great, efficient and stress free experience, I would absolutely recommend using Richmond Chambers. We were initially apprehensive about the process we were entering, applying for a settlement visa, but Alexandra supported by Zarina were excellent and made the process simple and straightforward. All of my (many) communications were answered efficiently and I was able to go into the office and meet with Alex as required without issue. The experience and relaxed approach reassured us and we felt at ease at the point of submission, receiving the outcome we desired within 4 weeks. I cant thank the team enough.

Zarina Rahman Exceeded above my expectations and she is a credit to the firm. Very young talented thoughtful individual who can offer a huge range of experience in immigration field.
I had a quite complex case with 10 days notice from home office in order to save my residency. They were about to take my ILR and eject me from the UK so you can imagine how stressful my case was. I have started contacting a few firms to ensure I will find the best representative but the consistency and professionalism from Richmond Champers team including initial booking, account team and 3 lawyers immediately offered their services, made it easy to make up my mind and to choose this firm.
Zarina immediately read my emails in details and responded in a way that she acknowledged the depth of the case and what needs to be done to move forward. Of course during covid19 she was working from home so she arranged a video call and allowed me to explain myself properly. Within 24 hours she sent me her actions plan and very confidently told me we have a chance to put this case in bed but she never over promised me. She said we can try but the way she explained the details of what she is about to do was so promising. I trusted her and she did not let me down. Not only my residency was saved, she also helped me to get my naturalisation approved. Thank you Zarina and I can't recommend you enough.

My wife, Elena, and I would like to convey our gratitude to all of those at Richmond Chambers who worked skilfully and relentlessly during the past five months to ensure our successful application for an Appendix FM spouse visa. My wife went to the British Embassy today and was absolutely thrilled to find a visa vignette in her passport. In particular, we'd like to express our special thanks to Zoe Bantleman and Bernard Wood, who continually assisted us with their impeccable guidance and expert advice. Thank you so much for your wonderful work.
F. T.
I am delighted that we chose Richmond Chambers to handle my visa application.
From our first consultation, Zarina and Casper were helpful, professional and diligent, their hard-work and advice helped our application succeed and we are very grateful to them for that.
I would easily recommend them to anyone looking for legal assistance or looking to make an immigration application.

Professionalism and excellent support by the team of Richmond Chambers, specially Zoe. She did excellent job for managing and sorting out all my husband’s documents and write up an impressive ground for our case, I do believe for her hard work only my husband got his ILR. Thank you very much Zoe for having taken my husband’s ILR case so carefully and bring the expected result and on time. I impressed on her performance and wish her more success in her profession. It is important to know who put in the hands of these important and so sensitive processes, I am very satisfied with her work. Definitely recommend my friends and support seekers for their immigration needs to use Richmond Chambers.

I received excellent service from Georgina Griggs, Zoe Bantleman and their teams Annie Ee and Edward Abedian. They are absolutely professional and guided me at every step very thoroughly. Special thanks to Georgina and Zoe, they are experienced and dedicated barristers.

I work with a team from Richmond, Alex and Alex over an immigration issue after shopping around for barristers for a few months. The service provided was fast, friendly and extremely thorough. They were friendly and very patient and available for questioning (At one point even during the weekend). I am happy to have been successful at the end.
Thank you Alex and Alex. I would highly recommend these guys!

Received excellent advice from Dr. Catherine Taroni and Bernard Wood at Richmond Chambers in relation to an immigration matter.
The Richmond Chambers team is very professional, always responsive.
I turned to Richmond Chambers to resolve a difficult matter that had been complicated after previously receiving wrong advice from another law firm, and Dr. Taroni and Bernie were able to quickly turn the matter around leading to a favourable outcome.
M. L.
Special thanks to Emma Greenwood, Dr Catherine Taroni, Wendy Barnes and all the staff at Richmond Chambers. I would highly recommend Richmond Chambers for their honesty, outstanding service and most importantly their credibility in regards to immigration law. I was convinced after reading their reviews here and it would be disrespectful to not write one after my BRC was approved. I have made the best decision so far and I hope that you will too. If you want result then the money you'll be spending is nothing compared to the service and the professionalism that you will receive. Its worth every penny. Highly highly recommend.

My last two applications were handled by Ms Emma Greenwood and Dr Catherine Taroni. Together with the Richmond Chambers team both of them delivered a positive outcome for my applications. Their extensive knowledge of immigration law, their hard work and attention to detail were inspired and my queries were always addressed in a very prompt and professional manner. I have no hesitation in recommending Richmond Chambers for all immigration matters.
K. S.
I am extremely grateful to Zarina Rahman and Wendy Barnes for your professional services. I am also very thankful to Emma Greenwood.
Anyone who's looking for immigration barrister Richmond chambers are the best immigration barristers. They have been excellent and very supportive through out our case. I would highly recommend Zarina Rahman for anyone applying Family and private life.
Thanks for all Richmond Chambers team!

From the very first Zoom conference and through the whole procedure of making an application under the Windrush Scheme, we found both Alex Papasotiriou and Caspar Latham to be extremely helpful, committed and informative. Alex would often communicate several times a day while the application was in progress, and his acute knowledge of the law in this area was incredibly valuable when considering how best to proceed. Everything was explained clearly and succinctly as Alex guided us through the process. We have not regretted engaging the services of Richmond Chambers for one moment and would certainly use them again in the future!

I would like to thank Paul Richmond and Catherine Taroni a lot for their outstanding service regarding my mother's UK visitor visa case. Not being satisfied with the previous lawyers I had approached regarding my mother's case, I was finally lucky to find Richmond Chambers. I am very much happy and satisfied with their level of expertise.
I found them both very friendly, approachable and above all truly professional.
As my mother had been rejected once before due to missed evidence in her application, we knew it was absolutely necessary we got expert legal help this time. We would have missed some pieces of evidence again had we not instructed them to help us in this regard.
I could communicate with both Paul and Catherine as and when needed and they would reply back to my queries at their earliest convenient time. This was very much important to us as we had to put so many pieces of evidence together within a restricted time frame thus we needed their timely and due attention, care, comments and support in each and every step we were taking. I had done my homework before going ahead with Richmond Chambers and I hoped I could find a lawyer with whom I could work as part of a team.
My mother and I are enjoying every single day of her stay here and all this would not have happened without the help, assistance, guidance and advice of Paul and Catherine. Me and my mother would not hesitate to recommend Richmond Chambers to anyone seeking professional legal advice on their immigration case and would definitely return to them as and when we need them in future.

We worked with Stefania who was generous and provided a good quality service with precise instructions that enabled us to reach our end goal. I really liked the layout of the responses which were clear and easy to follow.

I would like to take this opportunity to say "thank you" for the outstanding work Paul Richmond and Sophia Xiang have carried out for me and my husband. Although my case was straightforward, my Spouse Visa Application wouldn't have been successful without Paul and his team's guidance and assistance to make sure we ticked all the boxes and had all the documents in proper format.Very professional and efficient indeed.
Thank you for the superb dedication and the high standard service you always provided while handling our case.I would definitely recommend Richmond Chambers Immigration Barristers to anyone else for legal help and advice.
N. G.
I would like to thank you Richmond Chamber's, Specially during COVID the team support was outstanding. I worked with Zoe Bantleman and my experience has been great. i am positive and will definitely come back to Richmond Chamber's in near future for my future work. Thank you again for your outstanding services. Kind Regard's Sidharth.

I recently have had the great pleasure of working with Zarina Rahman on an immigration matter which I truly had given up hope of ever sorting out after 2 botched applications and 2 refusals. Zarina was more than I ever could have wished for in an immigration barrister. She was helpful in her advice and patience and overall attitude, and with her help we finally achieved our goal of getting my South African Fiancee the visa we needed and wanted. I cant thank her and her team enough.
M. J.
I am much obliged to Barrister Alex Papasotiriou and his legal associate Lucy Katko who helped me work on my pre-settled status and organized the convoluted paperwork into a clear submission. During the process, they were also clarifying my queries with precise responses as well as providing guidance. Post submission support has been amazing and prompt.
I got the best service I could have hoped for and I highly recommend Alex Papasotiriou and Lucy Katko at Richmond Chambers for immigration matters.
Z. S.
I found Richmond Chambers while searching the internet for help regarding a challenge against my Tier 4 Visa refusal. My barrister Alex Papasotiriou was very supportive and paid great attention to every detail all through my application process. He was excellent, knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful throughout the period. He maintained a very professional approach but also came across very caring. Excellent service from start to finish. I highly recommend Richmond Chambers.

with this review, I would like to extend my gratitude to Miss Zoe Bantleman and Marianne Schonle.
And for those who are reading this review and thinking ''To be or not to be''..............
please read my review thoroughly and you will know what to do next for your self....
Before I met Miss Zoe Bantleman my case was pending before First Tier tribunal My previous Pakistani solicitor representative firm wasted mine time and money for almost three years and produced me no result. It was really depressing time for me, to even make a decision about changing my representative. Then I have come across so many positive review in google and trustpilot and I have made one of the best decision of my life to contact Richmond chamber and arranging appointment with non other than Miss Zoe Bantleman.
After my first initial meeting with her she explained me all pros and cons, given me a detailed summary of case and what she possibly can do to win this for me in tribunal. she has also provided me my all available option in written via email on very same day.
She took the case just before a month of tribunal date. She also helped me to get my file back and transferred from previous solicitor without much hustle. Her skeleton argument was awesome and she is a real gem in Richmond Chambers, She has a wide knowledge of immigration patches & loose end, A giant of her own field who knows how to cross any hurdles for their client but above all Zoe is a polite and down to earth person, benevolence by nature, consistent in her work & strictly professional at all time.
without Zoe Bantleman & Marianne Schonle I would not have won my tribunal case nor I have gotten mine ILR BRP card today. I am thankful to both of them and Richmond chambers to keeping such a gem in their firms.
My recommendation for every one is to at least meet and discuss your case with Zoe Bantleman or Mariaane schonle before you decide to go with some other firm and spoil it.

I am Abul Hasan Muhammed Folik, my wife Masrifa Nuhan and our 3 children Muhtady Hasan, Muttaqy Hasan and Mahdiyah Hasan. I am writing this review on behalf of our all family members to show gratitude to the Richmond Chambers LLP specially to the Senior Immigration barrister Alexandra Pease and Alex Papasotiriou and their full team those who supported us to make our all applications successful. This is our third overcome in a row. We first applied on the basis of Family and Private Life for me and my wife which was successfully approved in 6 weeks. Our second applications for our 3 children was on the basis of our granted leave to remain which was successfully approved in 8 weeks. Finally we applied to remove the condition of No Recourse to Public Funds which has been approved today. We have no words and language to show the proper gratitude to them. Just I wold like to mention one thing from my experiences. I learned from my life that experiences is the best teacher. So if anybody ask me to recommend any barrister for any immigration matter undoubtedly I would recommend them. We are really really really satisfied with their positive advices, professional services and finally amazing presentations. Please do not waste your time to look for any other barrister. Thank you so much Alexandra Pease.
Thank you very much Alex Papasotiriou.
Thanks a lot to the full team.
We are really grateful for your all supports.

Richmond chambers went above and beyond to help with the application for my father in regards to the Adult dependent relative (ADR) visa. They have a rigorous work ethic, and an extensive background in this area with previous successes when the eligibility and criteria fits. They pushed me to go the extra mile in order to set up the perfect application, and were meticulous in checking details even when we had to interact through skype. At the same time, they were realistic about our chances. They took the time to listen and get their facts correct when setting up the argument to support application.
When the application did fail on the first around, they encouraged me to appeal, and to my surprise I was able to get the visa sorted out for my father. I will be forever grateful to Richmond Chambers for bringing our family together. The ADR visa is so complex, that it is worth the initial outlay in costs, when going through experienced lawyers. I would not have managed if I had applied independently. At all times I felt well informed, with immediate feedback via email if needed, and will not hesitate to recommend them.
R. D.
I was profoundly impressed with Alex's service in all respects. He made a seemingly daunting process comprehensible and solvable. I was kept informed at all times and felt comfortable with the results. He succeeded where others had failed previously. Even after completing the task, he followed up to ensure that all had been done correctly by the authorities. Completely trustworthy and highly recommended.

Zoe Bantleman was absolutely fantastic! Even though my case for Tier 1 Exceptional Promise application is definitely not a conventional one, she did a perfect research on the field and pointed out many ideas out of the box. She was very pleasant to work with and I could rely on her anytime. She was also very generous with her time outside the sessions via Email and such. Her assistant Bernie was also very helpful. I would recommend Zoe for anyone applying for a Tier 1 Exceptional Promise visa
K.
I would like to express my deep gratitude to Ms. Gillian McCall and the team of Richmond Chambers LLP for their amazing work during the process of my application for the Innovator visa, Ms. Gillian McCall the reason that my application has been successful, She responds to my questions quickly with clear guidance for each step, And she is very helpful throughout the entire process, Even with the difficulties and the exceptions needed she make it happen, She is an amazing person and solicitor fought for my cases with strong arguments, I highly recommend Ms. Gillian McCall and Richmond Chambers LLP for your immigration needs.

I have great pleasure in endorsing Paul Richmond and Zoe Bantleman of Richmond Chambers for handling my Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa application with utmost professionalism. They were prompt and courteous in addressing all my queries and accommodated my tight deadline. I was most impressed with the quality of the business plan they drew up for me. Thanks to their attention to detail, my visa was granted within 10 days of submission.
R. M.
Fantastic service, friendly staff. Thank you Gillian.
Certainly in our life, we would encounter with an inevitable serious crucial circumstance. I would genuinely believe that safe and efficient transition in the circumstance would be impossible without having professional guide beside of us. I would say for Visa process you would not find better guide than Richmond Chambers in entire UK for sure. All you require to have for achieving the best result you definitely would find it in the Richmond Chamber immigration barristers.
I had a very serious issue for switching from tier 2 to tier 1 entrepreneur which initially was refused by home office. I cannot thank Gillian McCall enough to give my 9 years’ life back to me. She is knowledgeable, honest, responsible and professional in her profession. I wish, I had her from beginning of my visa process.
L. M.
I'm delighted with the service I received from Alexandra and Catherine at Richmond Chambers. I applied for a fiance visa on behalf of my partner David who is in Colombia.
I initially chose Richmond Chambers as out of many other immigration solicitors and barristers they were the only ones to assess the case before deciding to take it on. As David had been rejected twice before due to a lack of proof and legal advice in his applications, we knew we absolutely had to get it right this time. Alexandra responded to my online query and asked to see the previous rejection papers. She reviewed them and sent me a detailed reply about what the papers meant and what we could do going forward. The other companies I approached just wanted to meet straight away, without knowing anything about my case.
I met with Alexandra and Catherine at Chambers, who explained how the process would work and what they would need from David and I. They set out everything very clearly and from that moment I was more than happy to go ahead with a fixed fee agreed by all of us. There were never any hidden costs or pay-as-you-go hours during the entire process. I could email, call or visit Alexandra and Catherine at Chambers whenever I wanted. This was crucial for constant communication as there are so many pieces to put together for the application, we needed to be on the same page at all times.
The amount of work Alex put in was extraordinary, she made sure every appendix in the visa requirements were covered before sending it off. There were countless items I would have missed if it wasn't for her instruction.
Through their hard work, David was finally granted a visa yesterday and we couldn't be happier!
We would both definitely recommend Richmond Chambers to anyone seeking legal advice on their immigration visa.
T. I.
We worked with Zoe Bantleman on a Global Talent visa and could not be more pleased with the assistance she provided us. Zoe was, at all times, helpful, informative, and very quick to answer all questions asked. Her level of responsiveness exceeded any expectations we had. Given the inherent stressful nature of visa applications, her professionalism and kind manner made the entire process easier. Highly endorse her services for future legal matters.

I couldn't be happier with Richmond Chambers' services! I had previously spoken with at least 4 different immigration firms of which none I felt confident they'd knew how to fully deal with my case.
When explaining my situation to Dr. Catherine Taroni, she knew exactly how to manage the case in the best possible way, to which I felt I was in good hands!
From the start, I was quite pleased with Catherine's thoroughness and professionalism in her work and even more now with the positive outcome of my Permanent Residence! Enormous thanks

I’m absolutely delighted with the service I have received from Richmond Chambers Barristers. My asylum case which was refused from the Home Office was dealt by Alex Papasotiriou as well as his colleagues: Alexandra, Caspar and Jasmine. My case wouldn’t have been successful without their outstanding work. My case was complicated and weak; before approaching Richmond Chambers Barristers, I felt very hopeless and never thought my case will be successful. But my luck changed since I handed my case to Alex Papasotiriou. Since the day I met Alex he has been very professional from start to finish. He has a great deal of knowledge of what he does, is absolutely precise on what he says and what he does. Furthermore, Alex is very kind, patient and he has always replied promptly to any of my questions. I can confidently recommend Richmond Chambers Barristers or particularly Alex Papasotiriou to anyone who is facing immigration issues.
Thank you very much to you all!
A. K.
It is my utmost pleasure to thank Mr. Paul Richmond for his tremendous effort, advice and assistance that they rendered in me successfully achieving an entrepreneur visa. His combined efforts and meticulous examination of my case throughout the interview stage with thorough interview preparation greatly reassured me of his professional knowledge and expertise in this field of immigration law. I would also like to thank the Richmond Chambers team as a whole for the services they rendered in assisting me in making my application to the Home Office. I would definitely recommend this set of chambers to others as they are most definitely are the benchmark of quality services in the field of immigration law.

My family and I would like to express my gratitude to Simon Canter.
I am very grateful for all the hard work they did on our immigration case.
I will always be thankful for all the time and efforts to get the best possible outcome for me and my family.
my case was messed up by Previous solicitor and after that i went with Simon, who explain my case very well and it was such a nice to have him in court.
Very professional service and good immigration knowledge.

Throughout my case Richard chambers responded to all my queries promptly and efficiently. Whilst during my case I was under immense pressure, I found them extremely easy and professional to deal with. My Barrister Emma Greenwood simplified all processes for me so it was easy for me to follow and I was pleased that I had someone as helpful as Emma who worked on my case.
Emma’s sharp insight and attention to detail facilitated the smooth running of my case on the day of the trial, she took the time to understand me and my circumstances and dealt with it better than I would have ever imagined. Thank you for everything you did for me Emma and I will forever be grateful to you.
I am thrilled with the outcome of my case and it is all down to the professionalism, efficiency and consistent support from Richard Chambers. I would recommend their services to everyone. During the most stressful time in my life they were there to keep my morale high and answer my queries at all times, which is exactly what I would expect from a well established group of individuals such as Richard Chambers.
s. u.
The service provided by Richmond Chambers has been excellent. My case was very complicated but from the very beginning I established a very good relationship with Paul Richmond and Thomas Aitken who both understood my case perfectly and were very easy to work with. I trusted them with my family’s future and due to the hard work and effort that they put into my case, we now have a successful outcome. Their legal submissions were very detailed and displayed an in-depth knowledge of immigration law - even the Immigration Judge at my appeal commented on how well prepared my appeal bundle was. They also argued my case very strongly in front of the Judge. I was also impressed by their use of electronic communication – a lot of the work was done online and through email which not only saved me a lot of time and inconvenience but it also saved me money on travel. I highly recommend Richmond Chambers Immigration Barristers to anyone who is looking for professional legal advice

I thought my immigration case was hopeless after refusal after refusal by the home office with two different solicitors until was informed of Richmond Chambers. Their attention to details was unbelievable, each step / process explained and the most welcoming people. Fortunately for me and my family they turned our hopeless to happiness after we were granted leave to remain. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND them to anyone who has immigration problems.I am very grateful to them.They are top professionals and they changed my ideas about lawyers.Bravo Richmond Chambers!!!.Thank you!!!
Z. B.
A group of amazing, talented and caring individuals. My partner's case was supported well and we felt personally cared for by such a great team. We had a great deal of support with our application and never felt overwhelmed or unsure. Contact was good and we were given clear and reasonable expectations. I personally feel our solicitor went above and behind to support us, she was very kind and not judgemental at all. I would highly recommend these solicitors and intend to use their services again.
B. I.
Alexandra Pease and Alex Papasotiriou are two of the most professional, kind hearted, empathetic and knowledgeable immigration barristers in the country. Whilst we were at one of the most vulnerable stage in our life, Alex and Alex looked after our immigration matters in the most confident, professional and reassuring ways that anyone could ask for.
Me and my wife were struggling to regularise our stay in the UK for a long time. Alex and Alex rightfully identified a solution and advised us the best way to apply for our regularisation, which in turn created a stronger case for my son’s regularisation application. Alex and Alex were very clear and concise on what they needed to do and the application was extremely thorough. The Home Office raised complexity on our application but Alex and Alex competently challenged them with superb professionalism and legal facts which were second to none. As such, we are blessed to say myself and my wife have now been granted ILR in the UK.
Alongside getting our ILR in the UK, our son’s application is in a much stronger position now. We are also very confident that our son will be successful in his application as long as Alex and Alex are by his side. No words can ever describe how thankful we are to Alex and Alex. For anyone who are struggling with immigration issues, just have a consultation with Alex and Alex to see for yourself. There is nothing to loose and I can reassure you will not regret the choice.
Thank you again Alex and Alex and we wish both of you a good health and pray that you continue to help people with your expertise in the many years to come :)

Paul Richmond did an amazing job with helping my parents get their visas. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful, and took care of the entire visa process.
I am now certain that in the event that anything happens and we are in need of legal help and advice, we can totally rely on Paul and Richmond Chambers to have our back. My parents were finally granted their visas and I can only say that this would not have been possible without Paul.
A. O.
After having spent so much on other barristers, with little results, I was amazed at how Paul Richmond (of Richmond Canter Immigration Barristers) handled our immigration case with such care, making the process as painless as possible. As other reviewers have mentioned, his reputation simply excels.
Trying to immigrate means a mountain of paperwork and several personal details. Mr. Richmond gave us step by step instructions through the immigration procedure, and whenever we had questions, he was always quick to respond with great detail. Thoroughly going through all of our documents, Mr. Richmond made sure that everything was in order, so that the process went as smoothly as possible.
If anyone I knew was looking for an Immigration Barrister, I would definitely recommend Paul Richmond. Mr. Richmond is fair, efficient, and very professional. We will certainly be recommended this firm to our colleagues and friends.
j. l.
Paul and his team have helped my husband and me for the last five years, taking us through from our initial application for a spouse visa to our recent application for Indefinite Leave to Remain. Throughout these years, Paul has been a fantastic barrister, supportive, always ready to answer questions, calm in a crisis (!), and unsurpassed in efficiency and knowledge. He is also affordable, thus providing an accessible service for normal people. We are very grateful to Paul and his team, and now that my husband has ILR, it seems strange not to be in touch with Richmond Chambers! Wholeheartedly recommend...
N. M. M.
Alexandra Pease and her colleagues at Richmond Chambers were the definition of meticulous with a great deal of attention to the smallest details. Our communications were professional and smooth and they were always available to answer our questions. Although my application for a settlement visa was quite complex, they helped us to cover all the bases and send a fail-proof case to the Home Office.
S. d.
We had fantastic assistance from start to finish with Richmond Chambers. They were efficient, supportive and professional every step of the way. Our lawyer always responded quickly to any questions or inquiries that we had. We are very grateful for all their hard work with our case. We highly recommend Richmond Chambers.
M. S.
One of the best firms we have ever worked with. After working with a few so called Solicitors and wasting time and money, we read the reviews online and went for a consultation. Barrister Geraldine Peterson was extremely helpful and thorough and deciding to work with her was the best decision of our life. Zarina Rahman and Zoe Bantleman prepared our bundle and represented us in court, they both were extremely professional and helpful. They responded to our emails and messages promptly and ensured we were notified of all correspondence with HO. We didn’t have to chase them up for anything! If you want to give yourself the best chance of success...don’t think twice and book a consultation with Richmond Chambers!
C. M.
Geraldine Peterson at Richard Chambers is exceptional. My company recieved expert and easy to understand immigration advice which has comforted our clients and increased their confidence in us by delivering much needed piece of mind. This has contributed to the growth of our business in numerous ways. As a small company in the arts, we were nervous about seeking council, but everything about our consultation and follow-up was personal, professional, and friendly. Highly recommended.
C. C.
Legal services provided by Alexis and Catherine were absolutely impeccable! I had doubts when firstly using Richmond for a consultation for my Tribunal, but the report Alexis has produced was diligent and very caring!! Which made me to choose their service again for my ever so-complicated Tier-1 E Application from China, and it's very successful!!
I cannot emphasise enough how professional and dedicated they are to their clients and the intelligence and efforts being put behind each case!!
I will no doubt to use their services again for myself and my future clients. Therefore I recommend Richmond to anyone who need a pair of professional hands to give that magic touch on their immigration application! THE BEST in the market. THANK YOU Alexis & Catherine!!

Prior to Richmond Chambers, my family and I used a law firm through the referral of an acquaintance of my wife where we ended up with the refusal of our visas just because of their false promise and appalling client care. As a result, our immigration status was at the dead-end and had to Google on for another law firm at the eleventh hour! Thank God, our Internet search resulted in Richmond Chambers immigration barristers and contacted Mr Paul Richmond about our case, the barrister who had succeeded in our complex immigration matter and eventually brought the sheer happiness for the whole of my family. During the period of handling my matter, I found Paul takes into consideration from A-Z details and ensures that nothing is left to chance. Furthermore, the quality of client care he delivered to me was like twenty-four seven and this was the key point which gave me a great satisfaction and matched the value for money besides his sound knowledge and professionalism. In my opinion, I felt that there would be a very few persons like him in the world of law firms in the UK delivering the customer services to the highest standard and knowing why a client like me was contacting him for in its truest sense. Because of the aforementioned experience of my mine with Paul, I wouldn’t hesitate even a bit to recommend his law firm called Richmond Chambers immigration barristers to anyone who are in need of visa and immigration aid. If you are reading the reviews of his customers in the public domain, believe in them and contact him immediately. I normally shy away for giving such feedback but for Paul, I couldn’t resist it because of his profoundly excellent service. Thanks a lot, Paul and keep it up.
B. D.
I instructed Richmond Chambers to prepare a visa application in order to undertake a business planning trip to the UK. Throughout the time that I worked with Paul Richmond I found his approach to be thoroughly professional. He guided me through the complex requirements of the Immigration Rules, using his expert knowledge of immigration law to make sure that no stone was left unturned. He responded quickly to all my emails with appropriate advice and I felt supported throughout the process. I will be instructing Paul again in the future and have already recommended him to friends and family.
L. L.
I would like to say thanks so much to Richmond Chambers especially to Ms Catherine Taroni and Mr Bernard Wood who very professional, realiable, resourceful and understanding for all the support, guidance and assisting me for my Visa application which approved. Personally, I highly recommended Them and All team in Richmond Chambers Immigration Barristers. Thanks again
S. O.
Finding Alexandra Pease from Richmond Chambers was the best decision I made. She was so thorough and guided me through the application process. My case was very tricky but she helped me weigh out all the options available. Thanks to her and Zarina I was granted permanent residence and was able to go to University to study medicine. I am ever so grateful and cannot recommend her enough. Her communication skills are outstanding and as a result I felt fully informed through out the application process.

My husband and I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Richmond Chambers Immigration Barristers, most especially to Mr. Paul Richmond and his associates for the excellent service they have provided us. I am from the Philippines, and it was absolutely frustrating and stressful for a married couple to lived thousands of miles apart. I was miserable when my husband had to leave a week after our wedding to return to London. I was a bit perplexed about the task I needed to do in order to follow and live with him and build our new home and start a family in London, applying for immigration. I have been hearing negative feedback regarding spousal visa processing, that is why I always have this perception that it would be so hard and complicated to process my visa, I was frightened that the UK Embassy will refuse my application. Fortunately, none of that happened because of the excellent work of Mr. Paul Richmond and his team. They guided me all throughout the process of completing my applications, they helped me with all the documents that I needed to present to the embassy. After they sent me the completed forms and applications, I went to the UK Embassy in the Philippines and submitted them. The officer in charge told me it could take up to 3 months before I hear about the status of my applications. Again, I was distressed thinking I will not be able to be with my husband anytime soon. But after 1 month, I received an incredible news: my visa was granted! I cant thank Mr. Paul Richmond enough for his exceptional assistance in making our dreams come true. I am here in UK now with my husband starting our family and living a happy life together.
D. M.
I am grateful to Richmond Chambers for resolving my appeal for a Permanent Residence in the UK. As my representative, Alex Papasotiriou took great lengths to prepare my case and ensure that the appeal was successful. My family and I are very happy that I now have the opportunity to study university in the UK and apply for a citizenship.
z. Y.
With Paul's help, my family members have just received their visa. The visa was granted within 5 working days after the application was submitted.
Paul's advice is thorough and professional. He has made the whole process smooth and easy for us. Paul would advise on every single detail that Home Office will look at. I would highly recommend Paul Richmond to anyone who is seeking professional legal assistance for entry to the UK! You will be in the safe hands!
林.
Highly recommend!!!!!
My name is Vivian ,I came UK since 2009, last October , We(I, my husband & my daughter) applied for the settlement,But was refused as result of the exceed the time limit (must be stay at UK 180days every year, I was out of UK 204days a year).and send us a letter that we must back to China in the following several days. We only got 7days when we receive this letter. we consulted many law firm, each one said that’s not necessary to take a appeal, should be give up.
Finally, my husband found Paul Richmond on line, we made a appointment with Mr.Paul, He given us some choice to take the appeal. And take the appeal before 2 days of the deadline.
He has a wonderful group and a nice teamwork. They work quickly and helpful. All the money that we spent is really worthy and every minute that we talk to each other is very useful. Also they never waste our time and our money and then we won the appeal in the first judgment. The Home Office didn’t take the appeal, we won the final. My family, everyone got the settlement visa of UK.
Any problem, just go to Paul Richmond.
They will give your help, and assist you to find your reasonable purpose.
I really like this team and hope they have a nice future.
英语无法将我们一家人的感谢表达千万分之一,感谢MR PAUL和他的工作团队专业,耐心,富有成效的工作让我们一家人得以有机会继续留在英国,你们是独一无二的!!!

I would like to express my gratitude to Dr Catherine Taroni and Bernard Wood. They did excellent job in regards my Partner Visa that was supposed to take long time to be approved and I had great news on the same week. I highly recommend Dr Catherine for her professionalism, legal expertise, prompt support and quick answers. They were amazing!

Geraldine understood my situations immediately after I had a consultation with her that I was an eligible to apply for a permanent residence. From beginning till the end, she was very efficient and considerate. I had a problem meeting her personally when I had to finalise the case, despite of that she was willing to help me in a different way so that I could finalise my case.
After the application, the result came sooner than I expected and the Home Office granted my permanent residence.
I highly recommend her and she is a top class lawyer also to my friends who have gone to her and succeeded to grant the residence in the UK.

What can I say about Richmond chambers, They are just too good. Specially Zarina Rehman and Casper Latham. They dealt with my mother visit visa case professionally and guided us on every step. I lost the hope of my mother visit visa as home office have stated that her visa will reject every time whenever she apply.
Zarina and Casper took over the challenge and they filled the whole application and asked me to provide various documents. I only supplied the documents and they have done their magic.
Thank you so much Richmond Chambers (Zarina and Casper) for all your support which is highly appreciated.

Richmond Chambers consists of dedicated, supportive, highly qualified professionals that go the extra mile to provide high class service. Without a doubt, this firm is by far the best.
I was completely satisfied with their high level of service and had a successful outcome which could not have been achieved without the help of Alexandra Pease. She's a meticulous individual who was supportive throughout out the whole preparation process. Thanks to her unmatched high level of expertise and experience, I was presented with a well structured and highly detailed bundle.
I was then represented in court by Alex Papasotiriou, one of the most competent, knowledgeable and friendly barristers anyone could ever ask for.
Well done to the whole team, including Georgina Griggs who also played a major role in preparing and reviewing my bundle.
I cannot thank you all enough for the professional service I received and for always giving me prompt responses. My personal Immigration matters were handled with upmost care indeed. Your distinctive service is the main reason behind my family and private life appeal being allowed on the day of the hearing.
I would highly recommend them!

I have had a very good experience with Richmond Chambers and would recommend the firm to anyone seeking immigration assistance. My lawyer was Lawrence Youssefian and he was very thorough with all my paperwork. Thanks to his assistance and guidance I received a positive outcome to my application. I wish the Chambers all the very best for the future.

I have been living at UK since 2006. I am in touch with Richmond Chambers whenever I need any assistance at immigration matters. During my ILR application in the year 2016, I contacted with Richmond chambers, they helped me in getting my problem since then. After a battle of 4 years, I achived my ILR at last. Richmond Chambers gave me the best services. I would recommend everybody to get assistant at immigration issues from Richmond Chambers. I bet, you would win your case if you are right at your matter.

Absolutely out of this world!
This is the second time we worked with this office, this time to extend the visa. Last time we worked with Peter Blackwood and Paul Richmond, and this time we worked with Emma Greenwood. Both times it has been a fantastic experience. The work was meticulous and professional, Emma was always informed, friendly and forthcoming. Every step of the way I was blown away by the knowledge, hard work, and lovely attitude.
Everything was so well organized and we knew what was happening every step of the way. What a lovely experience!! Thank you so much!

Working with Geri Peterson was the best decision my family and I could have made. Our case was a complex one with 4 previous visa refusals. We had pretty much given up hope of my aunty ever coming to the UK. From the very first consultation meeting with her, I was confident in Geri's ability.
She talked us through the law and why the previous refusals had happened. She gave us solid advice on how to proceed if we wanted to continue on our own, which I thought was very useful. We decided in the end to let her and her team take on the case and I'm glad we did.
She kept us informed at the different stages of the process. She was very clear about what documents we needed and what steps we needed to take. She worked tirelessly, communicating with us outside her working hours and even on Mother's day!!!
Thanks to her knowledge and hard work alongside her team, my aunty was able to make it to her daughter's graduation and her son's birthday. Our gratitude towards Geri and the team is immense.
I would 100% recommend Geri for any case, simple or complex as she has the knowledge and experience to deal with them.

My mum’s appeal under EU law was on-going for a year and a half with other solicitors/barristers (not from Richmond Chambers) without success. I researched for a barrister and came across Dr. Catherine Taroni from Richmond Chambers, after initial consultation with her we immediately felt comfortable & assured and sought her help for our appeal at Upper Tribunal. This was the best decision we took as recently my mum’s appeal at Upper Tribunal was allowed/successful, Catherine’s counselling skills are second to none and has responded to our queries/concerns late in the evenings and at weekends too for urgent matters. In our view, Dr. Catherine Taroni is an expert on EU law/freedom of movement (and I am sure in other areas of immigration too) and has a Ph.D in EU law/freedom of movement. For their guidance, efforts and support through these difficult times and ultimately having a successful appeal we are ever grateful to Catherine and Bernie Wood who assisted us and Catherine in preparing a fit for purpose bundle, and in particular vastly improving the quality of our witness statements by prompting us with queries. A very big Thank you to Catherine and Bernie, kudos to you both!

On behalf of my family I would like to express my gratitude to Alexandra Pease and her colleagues at Richmond Chambers.
I am very grateful for all the hard work they did on our immigration case. I will always be thankful for all the time and efforts to get the best possible outcome for me and my family.
You cannot imagine how much your passion impacts the lives of others in the most positive way.
Every step of the case was explained with patience and friendliness that makes you relax and calm in any complicated situation.
My family and I can’t thank you all enough for your dedication to immigration law.

In my opinion and experience of dealing with Richmond chambers about my immigration inquiry I will say that without any doubt they are the best specialised immigration firm in London. They have the full knowledge and experience of the immigration laws in the UK and have expertise to deal with even most complex cases swiftly. My case was dealt by Dr Catherine Taroni who is a PhD barrister at Richmond chambers. Apart from being very nice and polite lady she knows all the immigration laws by heart and can assist anyone with any problems with their immigration matter honestly and sincerely. I had the best experience ever with her dealing in my case and helped me get ILR within no time.
Thanks a lot Richmond chambers.
Five star rating to Richmond chambers.

People from Richmond Chambers Immigration Barristers are professional, competent, friendly, and supportive. They have just successfully helped us challenged an inappropriate decision made by the Home Office and we received the correct type of leave to remain. I will definitely recommend their excellent services to others.

My case involved an application for permanent residency and then a naturalisation application. Both were successful. My case for residency was complex and we would never have been able to successfully navigate the complex arguments by ourselves. We are extremely grateful to Catherine Taroni as our barrister. The case preparation was not fast, but it was extremely thorough. In my case having a lawyer with an outstanding understanding of immigration law was key. I am now a very happy British citizen, whereas had we not gone to Richmond I would not even have permanent resident rights in the UK.

I have long immigration history human right refused many time from home office and wasted too much money around with different solicitors but no result but finally I am lucky enough at last by choosing Richmond chambers firm which was my best decision.
I was refused and given in country right of appeal and my Barrister Gillian McCall she helped in this matter very efficiently and gone through every single detail of my case and told me all positive and negative factors of my case and lodge the appeal and wrote 15 pages detail case law in covering letter and home office withdraw the decision and received our BRP with in 15 days. Thank you very much Gillian McCall and her team. I recommend please do not think twice to chose richmond chamber bit expensive but worth every single penny.

I have worked with Thomas Aitken from Richmond Chambers on my visa application and got it approved by the home office straight away. Thomas was very profession, efficient and very understanding of my time limit for the application. I was given all the information and guidance needed, which made the whole process a lot smoother. I was given updates on my application progress regularly and all my emails were responded promptly. It was an excellent experience and I am very thankful for all the help I have received from Thomas and Richmond Chambers.

As an employer, I decided to use Richmond Chamber's services to apply for a visa extension for one of our key employees - working to a fairly tight deadline.
I found their approach to be consistently confident and unflappable, responding to queries and acknowledging receipt of documents quickly and efficiently.
If only all businesses were as easy to work with!
We were successful in our application, which was comfortably achieved within the deadline. All due credit must be given to the services provided by this company. Thank you.

We chose Zarina Rahman of Richmond Chambers to represent us after reading her online reviews. We were not disappointed. The service we received was incredible. She was so responsive, helpful, empathetic and really knowledgeable. Her advise is spot on and she’s so thorough covering every possible angle, there is no opportunity to be caught out. The system Richmond use to upload all the paperwork on Google Drive means providing paperwork (we had over 600 pages) is easy to manage. Our case was yesterday and the judge commended Zarina on her submissions including her skeleton argument which was incredible. Cannot recommend Zarina enough.

We had a series of solicitors working on our complicated case for Tier 1 Entrepreneur application and after a strong refusal on our case, we contacted Richmond Chambers. Thanks to very diligent, detailed and flawless documentation by Thomas and Gillian, it seemed like a formality to present our case to the judge, who could find all the information needed for the judge to make an informed decision on our case, with the appeal bundle, witness statement and documents provided.
We are really glad to have decided to work with Richmond Chamber and would highly recommend their services to anyone, who wants clear opinions and recommendations, to at least have an opportunity to get the best shot of winning their case.

Richmond Chambers, and in particular, Zoe Jacob, provided a superb professional service for me and my father in advising us on his elderly dependent relative visa appeal.
Zoe was very thorough and efficient in advising, and examining the most relevant evidence needed and in building a compelling case for us. She left no stone unturned. Without her careful, methodical approach and her personal support I would have been lost as to what to do. Her experience of the Home office was invaluable. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone struggling with such a stressful situation.
S. M.
A big thank you goes out to Richmond Chambers and Zarina Rahman in particular for helping my Son-in-Law’s multiple refusal Visit Visa applications. She has professionally guided both of us through every step of the appeal process and was in every way pleasant to deal with. She very thoughtfully prepared an 18 page PAP letter. The appeal was granted. Communication was excellent and E-mails were answered promptly. I honestly had the feeling that Zarina put her whole energy in our case, so much so that it felt like we were the only persons she was representing at the time, which is exactly what one wants in legal proceedings.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Richmond Chambers or Zarina to anybody who is in need of a professional immigration solicitor.

My case was not a straight forward case and I was battling with it for the last 4 years going in and out of solicitors who just wasted my time, were not professional and they were more driven by finance, this was having an impact on my personal life as many things were on a hold due to the case. I came across Richmond chambers and due to the negative experience I had been going though I thought it was too good to be true and expensive. However I have to say it is worth EVERY penny.
Our barrister Mr Lawrence guided us through our case, he was supportive, trustworthy and professional. His communication was quick and consistent. Their online documentation system is very easy to use and easily accessible, all your documents are kept in one place. In a nutshell if you are going through any legal case I would recommend Richmond Chambers without hesitation.

You can only perceive value if you deal with such an exemplary professionals working in Richmond Chambers. They are excellent in depth knowledge what they do!.I am current client and dealing with them. I would recommend Anyone to have their services and solve any messy immigration issue.

I Don’t have enough words to thank you for team at Richmond Chambers particularly Ms Alexandra pease and Mr Alex papasotriou. My case was oversaw by Ms Alexandra but I choose Mr Alex to prepare my case .The whole process of engaging with them has been incredible. They have been professional, attentive, tirelessly hardworking.They have good in-depth knowledge about immigration
My communications throughout my case with Mr Alex were very smooth and he was available all the time to answer any concerns that I had.
Mr Alex papasotiriou made me comfortable that I had made a right choice in his selection and I got my ILR successfully granted due to his excellent work
I am very much satisfied with Alexandra Pease, Mr Alex Papasotiriou . I definitely recommend them. Many many thanks Mr Alex .

At the beginning of this review, I’d like to once again thank Mr Paul Richmond and his team - Catherine Taroni & Sophia Xiang. Thank you for your excellent work! I am very happy with the service that I received from Richmond Chambers.
I wouldn’t say my Application of ILR under 10 Years Long Residence Rule was a complicated case, however after talking to a few lawyers I just got more and more confuse! Luckily my friend introduced Mr. Paul Richmond to me and everything finally became clear after the first consultation meeting with Mr Paul Richmond - I had such a relief and felt so confidence so I decided to go ahead with them straight away!
I was quite impressed by the efficiency and professionalism of their work – they gave proper explanation to any of my questions and almost reply the email straight away. My application was sent out on 30/01/2015 and was approved on 24/03/2015 – yes, it was approved within 2 months and I believe it wouldn't have been this fast without Paul and his team!
I highly recommend Richmond Chambers to those who have any queries about their immigration case.
N. K.
I am extremely pleased with the outstanding services provided by Paul Richmond and Zoe Bantleman and was particularly impressed with their professionalism and dedication. They are highly experienced in immigration matters and were very detailed and organized in preparing my application.

I was very lucky to be the client of Alexandra Pease and Lydia Gu for my unmarried partner visa application. We prepared about 7 months before the application date and during this process, I have received such a great service from Alex and Lydia, they both provided me with very professional help and honest advice. This is my first time finding a lawyer firm to assist with my visa application, and i have to say i am very satisfied with what i got. A massive thank you to Alex and Lydia, and also to Richmond Chambers, i would definitely recommend it to my friends/family who is also looking for the trustworthy firm!

Although my case was a relatively straightforward spouse visa application, I don't think it would have been successful without Paul and his team. The Home Office rules are very strict and require a lot of documents in very particular formats. Richmond Chabmers' ensured I had all the required paperwork and provided a detailed covering letter which ensured a successful outcome. All my questions were answered promptly and the detailed checklist they provided my wife, who had to apply outside the UK, was extremely useful. I would be happy to use them again should the need arise.

Gillian McCall handled my immigration case with ease, wisdom and a calming influence. She went above and beyond in supporting me and my concerns over the long period of my getting prepared to lodge. I couldn't recommend their service highly enough. It takes ample stress out of what feels like a deliberately confusing process with UK Gov. They are responsible for my access to the UK & for that I am forever grateful.

The price tag is worth it. Our application was not a simple one; my girlfriend from Colombia was going for a working/living visa in the UK. They explained every correct step, every possible bump in the road, every risk and the best ways to overcome each one. Very good service. The final file was a masterpiece. Highly recommend them to anyone who is facing a difficult application

First, I'd like to thank the amazing staff at Richmond chambers and especially Dr. Catherine Taroni and Bernard Wood.
They showed high level of professionalism, accuracy, and compcompetence. Truly, we'd have been lost throughout the whole process without their guidance.
They gathered all information needed to support our case, used all evidence that could aid us, no matter how trivial they might've been. They helped us to set a clear, organized framework and checklists for the documents, kept them well maintained and in order.
They gave us ease of mind and reassurance in what would've been a tiresome times especially during the current pandemic.
We're forever grateful for you Dr. Taroni for your impeccable attention to all details and your utmost devotion and hard work on our case.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them anytime for anyone and we'd certainly know where to go if we'd ever need such services in future.

I highly recommended Richmond Chambers. They works together as a professional team, everyone is very friendly and helpful. Among them I have the change to know Alexandra Pease and "She is the best".

With my close eyes I can say "Richmond Chambers is number one"

Richmond Chambers was incredibly professional and supportive from start to finish, helping me understand the UK requirements for EEA Family permits, advise on the supporting documentation needed, and review my application before submission.

The service was first class with a sensible approach to administration and handling documentation.
Our previous experiences with the legal profession have been frustrating to say the least. Richmond Chambers are a breath of fresh air. We have no hesitation in recommending them and we will be returning to them when our next need arises.

We remember the day when my husband's visa was refused. It was a horrible feeling and I thought that I will be kicked out of this country soon along with my three kids. I was living in UK since 2012 and I loved UK so much that I never thought that I will have to migrate from here back to my country, Pakistan.
My husband found Richmond Chambers online. Alex Papasotiriou was assigned to fight our family case. I would say that he look afters your case more than yourself. I remember the way Alex suggested and guided during the case, it was really amazing. Alex used to call my husband when he wanted to discuss something critical and important. His golden words during his advice made us win the case now. Thanks so much Alex for settling us in UK. We owe you a lot till we are alive. We don't have words to express our love to you. Alex, simply a beauty!

Our new start-up was looking to hire international workers, and Zoe Bantleman carefully and confidently took us through the entire sponsorship process. We were successful in obtaining our sponsorship licence and in our latest hiring round were able to hire a US citizen. Despite substantial time pressure from our end, all the pieces fell into place, and I would not hesitate in recommending Zoe and Richmond Chambers to any kind of business looking to hire international workers. Zoe's responsiveness via email and proactive attitude were very helpful and reassuring throughout a complicated process.

I had my tire 2 and ILR case with Richmond chambers and I can say I had vary smooth and comfortable experience
Zoe Bantleman and Wendy Barnes how did the ILR case for me are very knowledgeable and talented which make them to deliver the job certainly.
I had work with other chambers and barristers before but honestly I never seen such a service which I received from them, they focused on my case for few weeks and even some times they work till 10 night time on that which deliver best result in quickest time for me.
All I can tell them is thank you so much

July 2018: Richmond Chambers handled my application for further leave to remain under my Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visa. Dr Taroni knows the regulations inside and out and is experienced, professional and personable. By working with her, I saved time, avoided countless errors, and submitted a thorough, organised and successful application. Even though I am a qualified US lawyer, it was worth it to hire an immigration expert. I plan to engage Richmond Chambers for my next application.
April 2020 Update: Richmond Chambers also handled my application for Indefinite Leave to Remain. ILR was granted in one month, no doubt due to the organised and thorough (1000-page) application that meticulously tracked all of the requirements. Once again, Dr Taroni was a pleasure to work with and clearly answered all of my questions throughout the process. I have the utmost confidence in this firm and recommend them without reservation.

I have no words to say thank you to Paul Richmond and Lydia Watton for their Fantastic work they have carried out regarding my Mother's Immigration settlement case. Paul and his legal team are highly professional and you should look no one else as they have got the expertise in each area of the immigration and best Law Chambers. Before selecting Paul, I have called several firms but no one come back to me with any positive and professional manner but when I have called the Paul Chambers, they have took all my details by the expert legal secretary and then passed on to the legal expert and who has send me the detail email with all the answers of my questions and which has really inspired me that this is the firm I want to go with. During the whole period, they were preparing the application, they were all the time very easy contactable and providing advise in each matter with very detail as required. Their presentation for the case was outstanding as they have put the whole paperwork properly in an order, labeled it and created the summary for all the papers with references in an professional manner. I will highly recommend Paul Chambers for all your immigration work. They are very honest people

I was fortunate enough to have made one of the best decisions of my life by instructing Richmond Chambers to work on my immigration case.
Although applying for the Tier 4 General Student visa is a relatively straightforward process, my case needed to be managed with experience, precision and better yet meticulousness, because of the many complicated details – mostly associated with my personal life – which risked affecting my application’s credibility.
From my first encounter with Miss Zoe Jacob, I knew I was in safe hands. I can never praise enough her dedication, her fine sense of detail, her real-time availability and her willingness to go way beyond her duties at times.
I was stunned by her ever amazing razor sharp accuracy and was touched by her humanity and her courageous stand every time challenges arose.
And because the financial aspect is always a huge deciding factor as far as legal advise goes, I’d like to particularly stress that the value and peace of mind I have received have exceeded dramatically and by far all the fees and costs incurred up to the date of completion.
Thank you, Zoe and thank you Richmond Chambers for a most outstanding and professional service. I will certainly be knocking on your door again.

Paul Richmond was highly recommended to me by a high profile Advocate as one of the top immigration lawyers in London. He precisely said "I can recommend with confidence Mr. Paul Richmond and his team", and he was absolutely right as their professional knowledge, organization, and precision provide you with the comfort that applicants with complex cases seek for. I would like to thank Mr. Paul Richmond for his professional advice and kind assistance when dealing with my application. I would also like to thank Thomas Aitken, who I worked closely with on my application throughout the whole process. Thomas was always there to answer my phone calls and my numerous emails instantly, when I was abroad. He is professional, very supportive with a kind and comforting nature. I highly recommend Richmond Chambers and especially if you have a challenging case as my ILR application. Thank you both for your combined effort and wish you all the best and success.
M. R. Y.
Richmond Chambers Barristers provide an excellent service. We have been through hard time with an extension refusal due to other solicitors fault and they happily took ver the case and we have been granted the extension to our Visa. We were happily seeking their advise to take over our ILR application and they handled it professionally and successfully.
Lydia Watton is trustworthy and very organized we cant recommend her enough. Many thanks Lydia and Richmond Chambers team.

Very grateful to Dr Catherine Taroni for her assistance with my relative's EEA Residence Card application on the basis of being an extended family member. Dr Taroni has been assisting my relative with her application for the past few months and has always been kind enough to promptly reply to any questions we had, even after the application was submitted with UKVI. What I and my relative were most impressed about was Dr Taroni's knowledge of EU and UK law, her attention to detail and her willingness to go above and beyond in dealing with my relative's complicated case (at times working and responding to our emails/questions even while on holiday!). My relative's application was approved yesterday (in just 2 months' time) when UKVI usually takes at least 3-4 months to respond and at times 6 or more months for complicated cases. It is all thanks to her hard-work, preparing a 500 page bundle to submit to UKVI. I've met a few lawyers/barristers in the past but have never come across one more professional, knowledgeable, approachable and patient than Dr Taroni. If you require immigration legal advice, I would highly recommend Dr Taroni and Richmond Chambers. Catherine is definitely one of the best barristers in Immigration Law that you will ever come across in the UK.

Successful UK Spouse Visa. I cannot recommend Paul Richmond and his team highly enough. There is no doubt in my mind, especially with our less than straight-forward visa application history, that we would not have been successful doing it alone. Without his expertise and guidance we would have been ignorant of the finer points of the evidence that it was necessary to submit (such as on housing). His knowledge and approach made our application thorough and complete and the Chambers legal representation letter set out our evidence clearly and gave weight to the application. In essence, Paul and his team ensured that our application was of a quality that made it easy for UK Visas and Immigration to issue a visa. The thoughtful use of Google Docs made the logistics straightforward. Paul and his team are also approachable, flexible and highly responsive. They are excellent value for money because they deliver on all fronts.
T. R.
Richmond Chambers exceeded my expectations. They are second to none. They are extremely professional and always kept me updated with the progress of my case.
Don't go anywhere else for your immigration needs.
Top notch barristers and staff, always polite and helpful

We instructed Richmond Chambers – Zarina (Z) and Elana, legal associate assisting Z to complete and submit our Partner Application. I’m sure like so many applications nothing was straightforward on our side, and we also had form with the Home Office. However, Z’s immigration knowledge was perfect, and not once did we ever doubt her skills. She was always polite, and responded to our questions promptly, and I would and have recommended Richmond Chambers to friends on a similar position. Richmond Chambers are worth every pound.

I’m very pleased to share my happiness experiences with you guys. We have been blessed by Allah SWT as we have been granted Further Leave to Remain on the basis of Family and Private life. May Allah SWT shower His mercy to everyone those who are waiting for their decisions. We submitted our online application on 1st October 2019 and went for Biometric on 9th October 2019. It was our first and fresh application to the Home Office. We are really grateful to Richmond Chambers those who are award winning Immigration Barristers specially to Alexandra Pease and Alex Papasotiriou who are definitely highly qualified and really experienced for their jobs. I have been waiting to write this review and searching the best language to do it. I remembered an essay we read in my BA Honours (English) course. The name of the essay was “Of Decision “ written by Thomas Bacon. The lessons we learned from the essay is “your best success depends on your decisions” you take. That is why I have been studying about the cases on the basis of Family and Private Life and looking for really qualified Barriers. Finally I took my best decision to choose Alexandra Pease and Alex Papasotiriou. I always happy to spend more money to get best things but I don’t look for the best things for cheap. I got so many consultations from different solicitors and Barristers around the UK and spend more than £2000 for only getting advices. Finally I found Alexandra Pease Who I could rely on. I was happy to pass my Burden to them. I worked very hard to prepare my application as an exceptional one according to her advices. I was really amazed when I saw their presentations. It was an amazing presentation I saw ever in my life. Finally we are successfully overcome. I think you understood how highly they are recommended. Best wishes for everyone. Thank you so much for reading my review.

Richmond Chambers LLP, represented by Stefania Patuto, Alex Papasotiriou and Alexandra Pease, was the only shred of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. Not only were they able to prepare and represent a strong case, their calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional support to myself and the family. My family and I are eternally grateful for their service and I hereby recommend Richmond Chambers LLP without any reservation

Fantastic!
Originally I had a consultation with another law firm. I did not like the way they treated me particularly since it was very focused on how much they will charge etc. I also didn't get the confidence from the manner in which they conducted themselves. Having already spent a fair sum of money I was not prepared to go through with my important application (FLR M) with a law firm I was not comfortable with until I then came across Richmond Chambers.
All the reviews for Richmond Chambers looked good and I liked the website too. I remember calling them and speaking to a receptionist called Lydia. I remember clearly telling Lydia, I want the best barrister you have as my case was important and quite complicated as well.
I was allocated Alexandra Pease. She is absolutely fantastic! Alex is one of the best! Alex is the most calm yet most thorough and detailed professional lawyer I have met to date (and I deal with lawyers all the time!). I am a professional myself and it was so pleasing working with Alex. She planned and prepared all the required documentation meticulously. She was accessible whenever I wanted to speak and she created a submission pack for me that even the Home Office upon seeing gave them confidence alone in approving my application. Alex is very clear, cuts through the complexities, a subject matter expert and makes sure that she has your case covered from all angles - my case was quite complicated. I sincerely thank Alex for the superb work and I am already planning to have more discussions/referrals going her way.
I would also like to make mention of Lydia Watton - she is also a superb pupil barrister and her support was fantastic. Thank you Lydia.
I am happy to know that companies like Richmond Chambers exist. There is a saying, you get what you pay for and Richmond Chambers is exactly this. You can be rest assured you will receive a professional and complete service. For professionals like myself it really helped having everything outsourced to Richmond Chambers and Alex did a phenomenal job in helping me obtain my FLR M as I could see the amount of effort and thoroughness in the preparation. I did stress test the submission packs and looked for flaws however I found nothing material and THAT is the best feeling!
I look forward to my next application and in fact I am attempting to engage RC from now so I am prepared for when the time comes.
Thank you Alex/Lydia.

Best immigration barristers in London
I must say to everyone, choose Richmond chambers, don't waste your time and money on other lawyers. I am more than satisfied with the quality of service they provided was excellent and more than ever expected. We had struggled so many years and knock the doorbell of all to be called best solicitors of London but finally found the highly professional, trust worthy and knowledgeable chambers. We are amazed with their way of work. Extremely grateful to Mr. Alexis Slatter and his team's dedication. We gained confidence and surety of success with the way he approached our case. We are very fortunate to find Alexis and his team. This is the best law firm anyone can ever find.

My experience was extraordinary. Most senior Barrister Alexandra Pease has assisted with my EEA retained right of residence application. Although she is most senior at Richmond & Chambers, she was so humble & utterly down to earth.
I had lot of difficulty in arranging all my documents and it took almost 6 months for me do so. She always remained very patient and responsive at all times. Dedicated assistance from one member of staff like "Jantien" made my life so much easier most of the times.
With in 10 weeks I got my residence permit This proves how much interest & efforts were dedicated to my application. The results speak for themselves. I was really amazed and delighted with my experience.
I highly recommend "Richmond & Chambers" & especially "Alex" to everyone who is in need of immigration advice and assistance.
Thank you very very much to Alex, Jantien & all Richmond and Chambers team.

The Best Immigration Barristers
Lydia Watton at Richmond Chambers Immigration Barristers. You Are Simply The Best!!!. My Husband and I are very grateful to Lydia and the team at Richmond Chambers. My case was not a straight forward case but thanks to Lydia and her team. She put together a very detailed pack for my application for FLR for me I think the cover letter was a major key in ensuring the quick and positive outcome that I received from the Home Office. My application was successful within a short period of time. Their online documentation system is very easy to use.All my documents kept in one place.Thanks to Lydia. I Can't thank you enough!!! Lydia guided us through our case her communication and her Knowledge is the best all my emails were answered efficiently. I had a Great Experience Excellent Service, Support , Professionalism and peace of mind during the tough times.
Richmond Chambers has the best team of Immigration Barristers you could ask for. I Strongly Recommend Lydia Watton, for all your immigration related issues and certainly I will be using Richmond Chambers for the renewal of my FLR.

After a frustrating experience with our previous lawyer, I contacted Paul Richmond for advice on the subject of spouse visas. In one phone conversation he explained more to me than she had done in 3 months and confirmed my suspicions of potential pitfalls in the case we were building. I instructed Richmond Chambers immediately, and within a short space of time we were finally on track. Our case was complicated, and the amount of evidence my wife and I had to provide was huge, but the attention to detail and thorough nature that Paul collated it with instilled confidence every step of the way. Needless to say, our application was successful and it was no surprise as the representations and evidence put forward by Richmond chambers were infallible.
C. A.
I would like to take this opportunity here to say thank you to Richmond Chambers, specially to Paul and Sophia. My case was 10 years SET LR. It has been very successful.They are very professional and response to my questions very quickly. …
O. “. G. G.
I would highly recommend Richmond Chambers to anyone especially Dr Catherine Taroni who dealt with my FTT appeal against the Home Office decision to reject my PR application as an EEA spouse. My case was complicated and 2 other solictors I consulted initially couldn't get their heads around it. Catherine proved to be a real expert in immigration matters relating to EU free movement law and my appeal has been sucessful. I am very happy that I chose Richmond Chambers as my representatives!
G. B.
Dr. Catherine Taroni was simply perfect! She dealt with my case which was not a simple one in a very professional but approachable and kind way. I was desperate as my previous "lawyer" (liar) basically stole my money and did nothing she was supposed to which delayed all my process. But Dr. Catherine was always ready to answer my endless questions and put me at ease regarding my situation. Dr. Catherine and her assistant went all the way and beyond to make sure that we had everything clear during our meetings and that all the documents needed were prepared with professionalism, attention and care. And I am over the moon because they helped me get my permanent residence card and this is all due to their hard work, knowledge and professionalism! I have to say a HUGE THANK YOU to Dr. Catherine, her assistant and everyone at Richmond Chambers!!! I am FOREVER grateful!!! I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone who is looking for the best!

My wife and I would like to Thank Paul, Catherine and the Richmond Chambers team for assisting us in our complicated Spouse ILR application and at a short notice too. This is not the first time we use Paul and his teams' services and again we got the successful outcome we were hoping for.
Paul and Catherine offered us generous information, guidance and assistance throughout the application. They valued our time, simplified the tasks required from us by using electronic means of sharing and reviewing documents. Catherine's efforts in gathering the required information, presenting it and organizing our documentation were key to the success of the application are greatly appreciated.
A. B.
We wish to offer our grateful thanks to Catherine and Jantien for their efforts and advice which enabled us yesterday to obtain my wife's ILR. This was the third time we have used Richmond Chambers for my wife's visas. From our experience Richmond Chambers is without question a highly professional and dedicated firm of experts in immigration law. The best there is!
F. Q.
Richmond Chambers is a name of trust, professionalism, top quality, hard work, dedication and full command on the immigration subject. I applied for ILR in Jan 2016 on the bases of long residency in UK. I was on tier 1 General visa. My case was refused in 2016 and home office put me on deception under paragraph 322(5). My wife and 3 kids were dependent on me. I went to few chambers where people robbed me as they didn't have enough knowledge to tackle the case. I lost a lot of money before going to Richmond Chambers.
Alex Papasotiriou was assigned to our case for FTT. In our first meeting with him, we found him exceptional. He had very strong immigration knowledge plus full grip on taxation as well. I didn't have to push myself to explain the case which happened to me with previous chambers and at the end, they couldn't understand my case. On hearing day, Alex was like a warrior who is never ready to step back with his logical and string arguments. I was exhausted my self but he was very agile to tackle the issues raised by the home office barrister. Judge completely followed his arguments. In one word, I would say that Alex Papasotiriou is an asset to Richmond Chambers and I would congratulate the chamber to find such a gem. He is the one who did bring me out from the hell to heaven. Thanks so much Alex. You are a shinning star.
A. H.
Paul Richmond and his team are the best! We researched lots of different Immigration barristers and as soon as we had the initial consultation with Paul we knew immediately that he would be the one to help us out. Paul is very knowledgeable and gave us frank and honest advice. Paul supported us right throughout the process making sure that every meticulous detail was the way that it should be. He was very patient and always had time to discuss our worries and concerns. Paul and his team are very organised and take control of the whole process which is very daunting and complicated but with Paul's involvement he made sure that we understood everything and were reassured by his support. We cannot thank Paul and his team enough for what they have done for us and I would say to anyone who needs an immigration barrister - don't look any further than Paul Richmond Solicitors.
A. A.
RC were helpful and on Point from the word go. key points were addressed professionally and on time. very helpful to understand the issues I faced and gave their professional services to overcome them. Alex Papasotiriou, sir you’re a star as you went out of your work hours to help me with my case to get everything in order and presentable.
A great success and would definitely recommend anyone who wants to bring their spouse to UK I'd know where to guide them to. great team and a great barrister.
B. S.
I had many questions around my complicated ILR application before I approached Richmond Chambers. Meeting Paul in person was comforting. Paul's attention to detail is the highest that I've ever experienced. The team at chambers went the extra mile, combing through the UK Immigration Rules to find me a solution to my predicament. Thanks to the team's dedication and tenacity we were able to build a very strong case for my application. I would also like to specially thank Paul for always reassuringly responding to my Emails in addressing my questions and concerns throughout the process. The service that I have received was very professional. I would like to thank the team for their tenacity in supporting my case since the very first day.
S. S.
I have used the services for EEA PR and have to say that Dr Catherine and the team have been amazing with their approach and the professionalism. I had been given mixed responses by other solicitors in terms of my chances of this being a successful application but Dr Catherine from day one gave me assurance that it should be very straight forward and didn't envisage any issues. It's her experience and knowledge that gives her the confidence and gave me confidence in her to handle my case. I would just like to thank Dr Catherine and team again and hope to use their services in future whenever needed.
K. S.
Richmond Chambers was recommended to me by a friend that had received a successful visa for the Tier 1 route. I found them to be very professional and thorough. Paul is a very confident and assertive lawyer and is very knowledgeable regarding immigration law. Paul and his team were always on hand to answer any questions and gave me assurance at every point of contact. I used them from the inception of the application and found them to be very informative about the legal processes regarding the Tier 1 requirements, application, administrative review and the judicial review process. If it was not for their high level of expertise it would have been unlikely that I would have gained my visa due to the obstacles encountered because of UKBA’s refusal which was found to be superfluous and thankfully because of Pauls due diligence was eventually conceded. I would recommend any Entrepreneur seeking a Tier 1 visa to use Richmond Chambers if they wish their application to be successful.
H. D.
We have dealt in the past with other immigration law offices. By far we were most satisfied with Richmond Chambers and working with Paul. Not only did they get us the result needed (Tier 1 extension), but the results were based on a thorough and very structured methodology. We felt informed and confident throughout the process. They also went the extra mile by finding us another family to use the super premium service with us at the same session, resulting in over GBP5000 saving. Looking forward to dealing with the them in the next steps in a couple of years.
a. s.
If you are looking for an immigration Barrister, I urge you to contact Ms Gillian McCall at Richmond Chambers. I had been to several solicitors before coming across Ms Gillian, I wasted so much money at a number of incompetent solicitors, I wasted my time and patience. Richmond Chambers will take care of the entire process of your immigration needs. These guys not only assist from an immigration stand-point; they literally take the burden off you. Ms Gillian McCall and her team are incredibly detailed in the work that they do, their immigration knowledge is superior and the service is second to none.
I was very fortunate that I found Ms Gillian, When I met Ms Gillian very first time, then I realised, I found the right and best person for my complicated long residence case. I now have an indefinite leave to remain visa and it would not have been possible without Ms Gillian. She is the best person to have at your side in a crisis.
A special thanks to Ms Gillian McCall - your level of service and treatment is of the highest calibre. Thoroughly professional and your help with this has brought a lot of comfort to me.
I have no words to describe my respect for Ms Gillian McCall. She is highly skilled, very informed, professional and has the ability and willingness to explain the process and details to you. She answered very promptly to any questions I had.
I highly recommend her services.
Perfection from beginning to end.

I am over the moon now after taking my case to be handled by this professional organisation, Richmond Chambers. We found the process of Entry Clearance complicated, and we found them to be very talented and trust worthy. I got my spouse visa in exactly 3 months, with thanks to Thomas Aitken. His genuine care, speed of service, eye for details and the ongoing advise, helped me to finally settle with my wife and son in the UK. He took us through every step and made the process simple and stress free.
I highly recommend Richmond Chambers.
Thank you
S. Y.
Alexandra Pease, thank you very much for all your unique hard work, effort and time you put along with your time into my case. You had a very structured approach for preparing the application bundle. Our queries were dealt within a precise and professional manner. My barrister Alex Papasotiriou paid a great attention through all of my application. He was very supportive, helpful and knowledgeable throughout the period of our application. Excellent services you two provided from start to finish. Thank you very much once again. Me and my husband both appreciate your hard work and efforts in preparing for our case and for representing us in court, Truly hard work always paid off!.
F. A. (.
A simple thank you seems like two ordinary words but its true meaning is only revealed when they are received with the gratitude it was intended.
There are many thank you's to be said but a special thank you to Alex and Alex as they literally held my hand through the entire process. Dealing with the HO can be intense but Alex and Alex were professional and reassuring. Thank you I'm most grateful Thank you
C. Y.
Great services to accommodate a smooth visa acceptance. I was initially nervous, as I had called 10 different law firms, and most of them were hesitant about taking my case (I had transitioned from a Tier 1 to Tier 2 visa to account for my 5 years). Lydia Watton called me back promptly, asked several questions about my case, and was informative about the law in a way that no one else had been. I would highly recommend this company. They seem to understand immigration law in a way that goes beyond just merely taking money from people!
S. H.
When my family and I had decided to immigrate to the UK, we had found the legal process far too complex and the statutory requirements seemed like a mountain too high. Paul and his colleagues made this easy work. The fees were reasonable and his work was swift. He told us what we NEEDED to know and not only what we wanted to hear, and thus all expectations were met and we were granted access in record time. I will continue to retain his services for many years to come and my advice to anyone reading this, is that Richmond Chambers should be an integral part of your application if you are seeking an effortless application.
My wife, son and I owe him much and remain immensely grateful.
Paul (and Gillian), none of this would have been possible without you guys.
Thank you so much.

After having mine and my sister’s ILR application rejected, I called around 26 law firms, asking them for their opinion about my case and what solution they could provide. Over 90% of them told me that I had no chance with my appeal and that I should look into alterior routes of action. One day, I decided to google 'immigration barristers'. Richmond Canter Immigration Barristers came up. Having browsed their website, I contacted Paul Richmond and after speaking to him and hearing his different approach towards the case I felt reassured. I felt that his passionate approach complemented his arsenal of knowledge within the immigration area and after our half an hour conversation I was convinced that this was the firm to go ahead with.
Furthermore, Paul's determined approach towards the case really acted as the driving force behind the whole process. He ensured that each and every detail was addressed prior to the court date. His reputation only excelled itself in the courtroom, when I found that the judges knew him by first name.
I would like to also mention a scenario that arose during the duration of the trial in which, the home office took us to the higher tribunal. Here, the judge came in and said “MR Richmond, are you sure you want to object against the home office appeal?”. He advocated a very firm "yes" and followed it up with an argument that even left the judge astounded- winning our case within half an hour. I would recommend this firm to anyone
R. H.
Incredibly impressed by everything Richmond Chambers did for us in my wife's ILR application. From the moment we first contacted them they were understanding and supportive, with no question too small or silly to be answered. The service and attention to detail on our application from Zarina Rahman was top class, and struck a perfect balance between giving clear advice and reassurance. I would highly recommend both Zarina and the Chambers as a whole. Thanks again. Rob Hickford

I have had a wonderful experience working with Thomas Aitken at Richmond Chambers on my recent immigration application which was successful.
It was reassuring to know that support was available through what is a very challenging time for many people. My many questions, emails and telephone calls were promptly responded to and I was regularly kept abreast with updates throughout the application process. This helped me greatly!
Thank you - Richmond Chambers.
Y. L.
Paul and his team have been assisting on my case on a continuous basis since a few years ago. Him and his team are extremely thorough and detail oriented. Whenever I had a query, there was always a timely response. I've always had the confidence that my case is being handled by professionals and my applications will be successful. Him and his team have since assisted me with a Tier 1 application, extension and now ILR. I highly recommend.
G. T.
We used Richmond Chambers for the second time in Dec 2015 in order to obtain an extension to my wife's Spouse Visa. As before we were most impressed by the highly professional approach. This is a firm you can rely on to get it right. We recommend without hesitation. Special thanks to Paul Richmond and Catherine Taroni for their considerable efforts on our behalf.
L. C.
They really are the best and absolutely as good as the reviews make them out to be! My case was dealt with promptly and efficiently. Communication was smooth and always helpful. Catherine Taroni did a fantastic job with my somewhat tricky application: she was calm, professional and extremely knowledgeable -- I couldn't have wished for a better barrister!
E. G.
My husband and I are very grateful for all the good work Richmond Champers did for us. I am a Ghanaian married to a british who works abroad in Mongolia. My kids have British passports because they are British by descent. I was refused entry into the UK because my husband was not fully resident in the UK when they added up the number of days he spends in the UK. It was very complicated for us to handle it. Paul Richmond handled our case with his team and I got entry clearance into the UK easily in 2014. This year 2017, we did not want to take the risk so after my 2.5 year visa expired, we used Richmond Chambers to help me with my application for further leave to remain in the UK as a spouse. The application went through on the 15th of July and I got my Biometric Resident Permit on the 5th of September. he i very efficient and replies to emails quickly and he is very respectful. I recommend him to anyone who's case is complicated to consider using Richmond Chambers. They are very good at their job. Thanks to Paul, Jantien and all.
E. L.
My barrister at Richmond Chambers, Zoe Bantleman, has been really impressive, as a barrister for my husband's T1 migrant visa. I would say she is definitely a brilliant barrister who has saved us from going through any trouble at all on our road of migration. I would highly appraise her for her professionalism.
W. R.
Flawless!
I had very little time to apply for my new visa, less than a month! Without hesitation, Richmond Chambers advised me and assigned me to Catherine Taroni, who very quickly instructed me and gave me all the information I needed. This is the second time i have used them in an emergency, and I had dealings with Paul Richmond too very briefly, and from him, all the way down to the receptionists, I cant fault them. Super professional, approachable and friendly. They all present themselves very well and put my mind at ease. I will definitely use them when i naturalise in 12 months.
Thanks to everyone, I highly reccomend them to anyone.
F. B.
We worked with Zarina on a very short timeline for EEA Family Permit and this was honestly one of the most useful and professional interaction i've had in my life. She was extremely helpful and efficient, gave us very clear next steps on everything we had to do, and was very insightful in answering any questions we had.
F. S.
No words can express how thankful we are to Dr. Catherine Taroni of Richmond Chambers Immigration Barrister for the worked she've done on my case.It was a complicated case but with her knowledge and professionalism I was granted a spouse visa after 4 years of being married to a British Citizen. I highly reccommend Richmond Chambers to anyone who needed immigration advise/services.
I. H.
With great pleasure I would like to share my experience of working with Richmond Chambers Immigration Barristers.
It would be very hard to mention all positive aspects of work,however I must admit that : high professionalism, accuracy, incredibly quick response- is the motto for Paul Richmond and Thomas Aitken.
To conclude I would like to say, that all big work was done by email and post, so in my case , I have saved my time, travel and phone expenses.
J. R.
What a fantastic team. After one failed self application we phoned many immigration specialists and Alexis and his team at Richmond Chambers came out head and shoulders above the rest. We were carefully guided through the whole settlement visa procedure and no stone was left unturned which resulted in the spouse visa finally being granted by UK immigration.
We cannot praise this organisation enough and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone needing the best professional advice on UK immigration and visas.
N. A.
We have got our ILR for whole family and also had tier 1 extensions through Paul at Richmond Chambers. We were worried at some point but Paul and team were calm as they knew what they were doing. I would recommend anyone to avail Richmond Chambers services for peace of mind. Once they are appointed, all you need is Sit back and relax!!!
S. D. B.
I have used Richmond Chambers Immigration Barristers services to apply for EEA Permanent Residence Card and subsequently my naturalization as a British Citizen. Thomas Aitken was friendly, polite, professional and knowledgeable about UK immigration law. He put together a comprehensive and very detailed pack that speed up the case process time and result in both applications being successful. Thomas has provided an excellent service, I was impressed by his quick response to my emails and I would highly recommend his professional services for anyone looking for UK Immigration advise.
e. e.
The service was excellent, thanks to Alex and Zoe. They made the process easy and were always available to answer my questions. They were very thorough, their attention to details and knowledge of immigration processes is excellent. I would definitely recommend. Thank you Alex and Zoe
b. k.
During the course of my visa application I was guided and assisted by Paul, Annie and Richmond Chambers generally. The application process became a satisfying experience under their professional assistance. I am very pleased that my visa application and that of my dependent were successful as a result. Thank you Paul and Annie!
M. K.
I am very lucky that I found Mr. Paul Richmond. He is professional, experienced and expert in the field of Immigration. The best thing in Richmond Chamber I found is their commitment, loyalty and prompt responses in relation to any query / case. I am very pleased with their services and will surely recommend people to acquire their services / advice.
T. Y.
Richmond Chambers helped me to obtain a Sole Rep visa. The process was very smooth and straightforward. Paul and Zoe, are professional, honest, knowledgable and provide outstanding service throughout the process. Without any hesitation, I strongly recommend Richmond Chambers.
S. T.
After being let down by my high street solicitor three times to secure me retained rights of residence under EU law, I was fortunate enough to come across the professional profile of Dr Catherine Taroni of Richmond Chambers who holds PhD in EU law!
Not only Dr Taroni convinced the immigration judge in my favor in less than 15 minutes with her superior knowledge of immigration law and tactfulness, but also convinced the judge to get the Home Office to issue me permanent residence card back dated a few years; which effectively allowed me to apply for naturalization in no time.
I received outstanding professional service throughout the process that was second to none. I couldn't have asked for better service throughout.
S. M.
Paul Richmond, we have engraved your name on our home walls. We have translated your marks of success into a big celebration in our home.
I am not writing this review to make a propaganda for the Richmond canter immigration barristers, but this is my real testimony for their work and assistance provided to me.
On November 2011, I have applied for a medical treatment visa at the British embassy in Amman; my application was refused with a 10- year ban imposed on any future applications with limited rights of appeal. I didn’t do any thing wrong, but I wasn’t able to prove I am innocent. I have spent days and nights seeking for some one to help on the net to give me any advice. I have emailed many lawyers, immigration barristers in London and no one responded but at last I got the miracle response from a gentleman and a real barrister from London who answered my email. It was Paul Richmond. From his email, I have discovered that this gentleman is a specialist in immigration matters like a consultant surgeon and willing to help. He asked me to send some details regarding my immigration case and I did. He replied to me and I was very delighted by the answers he provided. The way he writes look like a computer program with a simple flow chart. He paved the way for me and wrote the letter before claim for a judicial review. Today I have received a positive answer from the British embassy in Amman to collect my visa. It is the happiest day in my life because this man has proved that I am innocent, revoked a 10-year ban and gave me the chance to start my medical treatment journey. My final word is to thank Paul Richmond and his team and I advice any one with immigration issues to take the short cut and go straight to the Richmond canter immigration barristers
M. F.
Zoe Bantleman and Marianne Schonle were so fantastic and helpful. I honestly couldn't have gotten my Tier 1 Exceptional Talent Visa without them. Anything that they weren't familiar with in my speciality, they researched meticulously and in the end knew my case almost better than myself. Their cover letter was incredible, arguing on my behalf in such an intricate, dedicated way, that gave me the reassurance that there was nothing else I could've done to make my case for the Visa. Additionally, they were very fast in responding to any questions, even when I was in a different time zone. Couldn't recommend highly enough.
S. Q.
Don't have enough words in the dictionary to say thank you to Alex Papasotiriou for his exceptional services and dedication to my refused application and helped me to win an impossible battle with home office. One word to define Alex is "Mr Perfectionist". His professional approach to prepare the bundle and my witness statement is extremely remarkable. He presented himself 24/7 to respond our complex queries. I remember the day I was extremely confused, nervous and scared in First Tier Tribunal and the way Alex calmed me down and injected so much confidence and assisted me to communicate with the Judge and consequently made things so simpler and positive for me. And lastly, his last magical summery of 45 minutes in front of the Judge where he played all possible shots extremely well and changed overall game in our favour
R. B.
Gillian McCall handled my immigration case with ease, wisdom and a calming influence. She went above and beyond in supporting me and my concerns over the long period of my getting prepared to lodge. I couldn't recommend their service highly …
F. I.
We can’t thank Paul and Jasmine enough for everything they did to ensure that we made a successful application for an extension to our spouse visa. Paul also advised us on our initial visa. Once again, without their legal expertise, clear advice and excellent process I am convinced that we would have stumbled on a technical pitfall. It was also very helpful to have Jasmine’s knowledgable representation at the premium service appointment. We will certainly be using Paul and his team again for our ILR application.
s. m.
I would like to appreciate Paul Richmond for the outstanding work he did for me.Paul was superbly efficient,his foresight on all matters on my case was truly remarkable.I owe the success of my case to his dedication and expertise.I Must say Paul and his team (Ms Catherine,Ms Lydia ) sympathetic, compassionate and never leave anything for chance.
I will strongly recommend Paul Richmond to anyone who looking for expert advice and meticulously planing on their case, You will be pleasantly surprised.
Once again I would like express my sincere thanks to Paul Richmond,Lydia Watton and Catherine Taroni

Richmond chambers is one of the best lawyer office that i know
Thanks to Mr Alex and Mr casper that helped me and my wife with the application forms they were very helpful. I got my visa less than 2 months and now I can join my wife in london
I would definitely recommend everyone to go to Richmond Chambers
S. A.
Excellent care and very professional for the serious immigration matter. My case was very complicated, however, my barrister organised and argued my case brilliantly in the tribunal. I am so grateful that my barrister and her team took my case. All went well and my visa will be here soon.
I definitely recommend this firm.
J.
Thank you ever so much Richmond Chambers overall and extra special thank you Mr Peter Blackwood who helped me to prepare my application. I called few firms about my case and I did not get positive answers from them, I read through the google review about the Richmond Chambers and then decided to upload a document to explain my case online. I did not pay any money but on the next day I received a long email from Mr Peter Blackwood, he explained everything and clears my drought in the email. After reading the email I realize this firm is so professional, this made me want to make the first consultation meeting with Mr Peter Blackwood, he patiently answered all my questions, and explain to me about the immigration law for overstay as I may have a gap between my previous visa applications. After the meeting I decided to hire Mr Peter Blackwood from chamber to represent me for my application as his professional experience about UK Immigration law let me feel very confident about my ILR application.
The other thing I really like is that Richmond Chambers use an online file repository with a checklist that made it so much easier to go back and forth, share documents and monitor the status of outstanding documents without endless emails.
After I submitted all my document online, Richmond Chambers provide a second lawyer check (a lawyer never deal with your case before and check case) which gives you double insurance about your case.
Mr Peter Blackwood write me a long cover letter printed with their headed paper which list all the relevant immigration law and according all these laws that I cannot be refused. He used the information I provided helped me to filled the application form, all my document was listed with tag with the same order of lawyers cover letter and every document were photocopied. He prepared everything in a nice and handy file case make very easy for me to take it to my appointment.
Now I feel very lucky that I chose the right barriers, I know typically premium service application take at least 3 hours for consideration, my case ONLY TOOK ONE HOUR and I believe this is the magic power of a barrister.
In my option, I highly recommend Mr Peter Blackwood at Richmond Chambers for his knowledge and advice as well as the organized and professional approach he deal with client.
Again thanks so much peter!

Zoe Bantleman has been a great representor and help for my family, especially with Father's case, as she studied the case thoroughly through out the hearings of the court in two different occasions with given short period of time to prepare for. In both situations she handled it well and professionally.
Zoe is really friendly, respectable and easy to communicate to, she made us all feel really comfortable on the days of hearing and also gave us confident. Most importantly she was really punctual on both days gave us more than enough time to squeeze in any last minute preparation. She also spent reasonable time after the hearing and gave constructive feedback. We all as a family felt really privileged and appreciated for Richmond Chambers to send Zoe Bantleman to represent my Father in the court.
Thank you Zoe Bantleman for the hard work, time and effort.
E. S.
I must start my review with a big thanks to Mr Alexis Slatter, who professionally represented our mother’s case to the Tribunal and who, we are in no doubt, is well versed with the Immigration laws.
Myself and my wife are a both working class couple and like the most of us, we did our research looking for the best Immigration firm to represent our mother’s case.
Our case was not straight forward and we knew, if not represented by a professional, it could end drastically wrong. We gathered some names from the internet, and even from the so called Asian TV migration channels, and only after first few consultations with some of them Law firms we understood that it was a jungle out there. 'Yes we will win this case', was the most common reply we received from many of them and most of them didn't knew what they were talking about, with no clarifications and explanations of how and what grounds they will proceed this case.
With our further internet searches, the name of Richmond Chambers highlighted and reading their strong 5* google ratings & reviews, we were inclined to make our first appointment with Mr Alexis Slatter, in his Covent Gardens office.
In our first and only meeting before the hearing with Alexis, he shared his versatile knowledge of Immigration laws in relation to our mother’s case. He also informed us our chances and the risks of loosing this case which was crucial for us to know, as at the time we needed to know where do we stand. With this information we knew exactly what our options were, and who is to, if anyone was going to represent us in front the Tribunal Judge against the Home Office.
During the next two years of preparation, our mode of communication with Alexis was through the emails and posts. All this time Alexis's guidance and approach towards us was highly professional and accurate.
On the day of hearing in Tribunal, Alexis represented us in front of the Judge against the Home Office. He represented and explained our case in detail to the judge, giving the references of the previous judgments made by the Tribunal in similar cases, this further made it easy for the judge to understand the facts of this case and our circumstances.
In the judgement, Home Office's arguments were literally proven groundless against ours, as it was difficult for the court to understand on what bases the ECM is holding up our mother's Visa. All this was only possible, by the in-depth knowledge and professional approach of Alexis's towards our case. If it was not him, we don't know where would we stand today.
Thanks, Alexis and Richmond Chambers

“Richmond Chambers, One of the Best and very professional Service Provider”
I am very much happy and thankful to Mr. Paul Richmond and Ms. Lydia Watton. I have contacted Richmond Chambers after we won our appeal in First Tier tribunal for ILR but still Home Office granted us Limited Leave to Remain for 30 months by ignoring Immigration judge’s verdict. We were really very much confused and tensed. I approached Richmond Chambers and asked for an appointment with Mr. Paul Richmond. I have provided all required documents via email. Our first meeting last only for 15-20 mins but Mr. Richmond was well prepared and explained me in detailed all possible options. I was satisfied with his professional approach and the way he discussed all scenarios. We agreed that he will write letters to Home Office explaining their decision is incorrect and asked us to grant ILR. We didn’t receive any reply from the Home Office, so he explained me the procedure for Judicial Review. First we send Pre-Action protocol letter and asked Home Office to get back to us within 7 days or else we will go for judicial review proceedings. Again we haven’t receive any response from Home Office, so me and my wife were really very much nervous and decided not to go for judicial review though Mr. Richmond was very confident that our case will not go for full hearing but as said we were scared and as the procedure is very costly and lengthy; we have decided not to go further. But with all surprise, I have received a letter from Home Office that they are willing to look at our file again and within 3 days Home Office sent a letter to Mr. Richmond saying they have made mistake in determining Immigration judge’s decision and are happy to grant us ILR. This was really big relief for me and my family. This has become reality only because of kind of letters written by Mr. Richmond. Now, we have submitted our Biometric Cards to Richmond Chambers to send back to Home Office and waiting for new ones to come with ILR. I strongly recommend him for all Immigration related issues.

I am pleased and grateful to Richmond Chambers for their kind, quality and professional work. Thank so much to Zarina and Alex for their wonderful support and hard work .
A very special thanks to TANYA MURSHID. She is sush a professional and at the same time she is kind and a humble human being. She gave me a lot of moral support to win this long and difficult battle.

Richmond Chambers handled my application for a residence card, recognising my right of abode in the UK as a family member of an EU citizen, competently and professionally.
Prior to engaging the services of Richmond Chambers, I completed an application on my own, only to have it rejected after 8 anguishing months of uncertainty. From the first instance, my lawyer, Voratida, filled me with a sense of hope and confidence, through her thorough legal knowledge. Her approachable demeanour also made my first experience with a lawyer to be unexpectedly intimidating.
She gathered an extensive variety of evidence to support my application that was not explicitly requested in the application form, that I never thought to include in the application I made on my own. Shortly after the Home Office received my application, I was issued with the right to work and around 4 months after submission, I received the good news that my husband I had been waiting for; my application was a success!
Voratida made light work of my case, which had previously been a source of infinite stress to myself and my family. I would wholeheartedly recommend the services of Voratida and Richmond Chambers to anyone seeking help with immigration law. I only wish I had engaged their services prior to making my first application!

We could not be happier that we chose to work with Paul Richmond. The immigration process would have driven us crazy if we did not have Paul guiding us. He kept us calm and focused on what mattered. With him we knew we were doing the right things in the right way. He was patient with our many questions from begining to end. We were deeply impressed with how fast he responded when we needed answers. He never cuts corners. Total integrity. Worth every penny.
I. N.
Paul and his team have guided us through two (successful) spouse visa applications so far, and at all times we have found them to be professional, informative, helpful, organised and flexible.
It has really taken away the stress of the application, and we will certainly use Paul's services in 2.5 years for our application for indefinite leave to remain. We have also appreciated his calm and informative help at various crisis points during the application when we have needed advice!
We would highly recommend him and his team for their outstanding work. A big thank you from us!

Excellent service!!!! I have came to England in 2005 with my German Husband who is self employed. I have been applying for the permanent residency since 2010 and got refused 3 times. Once in the 2012 by the home office and I apealed, then the HO withdrew their decision and they reconsidered the case and refused it again in 2013. The reason was that the HO thought my husband did not submit enough evidence to show he has been practicing the EU treaty rights. I applied again in 2015 and they refused me again arguing my husband's accountants has not been auditied which is silly because my husband is a mini cab driver and his business is very small. I contacted Dr Catherin Teroni from Richmond Chambers and I decided to appeal with her. She is the most professional lawyer you would come across. Excellent and very organised and thorough. She replied to all my emails immediately and she was always prepared. Very knowledgeable about immigration matters and she is a person delightful to deal with. I recommend anyone to use this firm's service.

Would highly recommend Richmond Chambers Immigration Barristers for their exceptional services. With help of Catherine Taroni my application for Permanent Residence card as EU national was absolutely stress free. Catherine was very approachable, kept me informed about the process and was happy to answer all of my multiple questions.
I'm very thankful for all of your help!
B. S.
Richmond Chambers has been amazingly supportive and helpful throughout this very stressful process. They were super responsive, patient and knowledgeable about all things regarding immigration and provided clear guidance on everything. I highly recommend to use their services.
N. D.
Richmond Chambers are by far the best immigration firm in the UK.
The service , advise , and professionalism is exceptional.
Nothing but praise for this firm, Zarina is highly recommended.
M. H.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Dr Catherine Tarino at the Richmond Chambers Immigration Barrister whom was able to assist me with my (case). Alongside helping me achieve a successful outcome - she was able to work on the case both thoroughly and quickly due to her exceptional detail and compressive knowledge. I highly recommend
M. I.
I made an application for Naturalisation in May 2018 but it was refused due to the good character requirement. I contacted Richmond Chambers and Zoe Bantleman applied to the Home Office for reconsideration of the application on my behalf. She very professionally prepared the legal submissions and the supporting documents and proved to the Home Office that their decision was unlawful and irrational. Ultimately the Home Office reversed their earlier decision and my application for Naturalisation was approved thanks to Zoe Bantleman. Without her help, this task would have been very difficult. I will have no hesitation to recommend Zoe Bantleman to all people who need any legal help in their immigration issue.
a. b.
Gillian was the best lawyer . My case finished so quickly more than i expected it. Her timing and way of working was the best i ever seen. My husband will be with me less than two month of the application. I will always use their service anytime i need legal advice.
I would like to thank Gillian you are amazing.
S. R.
Our case was quite complicated because of the mishandling of earlier lawyers. We had applied, appealed and almost exhausted all avenues including the appeal rights. We were getting desperate and losing hope. Under these circumstances, my wife and I met Paul Richmond in 2011 to look into our case. He discussed all the legal aspects, pros and cons of the case and advised us accordingly. His advice was very professional, honest and straightforward. Due to limited financial means, we filed the case ourselves on Article 8 in 2012, which was again refused by Home Office.
Finally we filed the case through Richmond chambers under Appendix FM, 7 years children continuous residence and outside the rules on the basis of family life. A thorough, detailed and exhaustive case covering legal laws and points was drafted, which was spread over 26 pages. A large number of relevant documents were also attached covering all the points, which Home Office could raise.
Home Office rejected the case again. Mr Richmond was of the opinion that Home Office has not considered the points raised in the case properly and was very positive to initiate Judicial Review. A pre-action protocol letter was prepared describing all the factors, which Home Office failed to consider. In response, finally Home Office granted us visa under Appendix FM, 7 years children continuous residence and outside the rules on the basis of family life.
We also wish to take this opportunity to acknowledge Ms Gillian Mccall for her excellent help and support. She provided comprehensive guidance that helped us in preparation of all the documents according to the Home Office requirements. We found her very knowledgeable and capable as she dealt with all our queries in a very professional manner.
Mr. Paul Richmond and Ms. Gillian Mccall always responded promptly to our emails in addressing our issues and queries even after the office hours and during holidays throughout the case process. The service we received was highly professional and honest. We are thankful to Mr Richmond and Ms Mccall.
We are truly grateful for all the hard work and efforts you have done throughout this journey and would highly recommend Richmond Chambers.
S. M.
When we first met Alexander Pease we had already been refused and had no idea of anyone could offer any help to us. However, when we met with Ms.Pease she guided us through the application process. She has an in-depth knowledge in her field and explains theright legal paths which suited our situation. Alex and her whole team are very hardworking and put all their effort into gathering documents, contacting the right people resulting in our successful application. I would like to recommend Alex if you need any assistance with your immigration application.
L. Q. Z.
Alex Papasotiriou is helping me all the way through my case. He is very nice, and happy to explain every detail which I was not clear with. I really appreciate his patience, professional work and efforts during the whole process. He also sent me some relevant cases and articles to let me have a clearer understanding of the law, the process, and concepts. He gives brilliant advice too. And I’m glad my case is about to end with a successful result. I am more than happy to recommend Richmond Chambers and Alex Papasotiriou.
M. W.
Great results and super service!
Alex Papasotiriou has been really helpful from the start. He spotted that we had been misadvised some years ago and, in fact, my son had an automatic right to British citizenship - this saved us a considerable amount of money, uncertainty and stress. The process of document preparation was clear and handled in a timely manner, final review expeditious and a positive result received far earlier than expected.
A sincere recommendation for Alex P.
M.
What a pleasure it was to work with them on my family matter! An extremely professional firm which makes its clients its biggest priority via its great staff. I had the pleasure of having Geri Peterson to work with on the case and she was so helpful. I recommend this firm very strongly for advice around and further work on any immigration issue(s).
Y. A.
We used Richmond Chambers for our application for Sole Rep of Overseas Business. It's not a very common category but Paul and his team made the process very smooth for us. I worked with Paul directly, and have to say that he is one of the most organised and smart persons I have come across. He made the process so seamless that we only talked on the phone just once and that was before we had signed up for their services! After that, the entire 1,500 page application (with supporting documents) was managed very efficiently online and through emails. He is very prompt in responding to emails, even when he is on vacation. We hit a snag when we got our BRP cards and they stated the wrong length of stay on them. We were nervous, but given Paul's confidence he got that corrected within a matter of a few weeks without the need to go into Judicial reviews. Though a bit steep in price, Paul is someone I would recommend to anyone needing to immigrate to the UK. We will definitely use them again when needed.
F. S.
Geraldine Peterson from Richmond Chambers helped enormously in resolving our immigration issue. She was always very responsive and patiently explained the various complexities of the process. Very much recommended.
A. M.
Alexandra Pease was amazing she's a lifesaver! I'm eternally grateful for the help she provided on my case. If you have an immigration case Richmond Chambers is the only way to go. I'd also like to thank Nadine and Stef for helping out.
i.
I am very pleased with the quality of service RCIB has provided. Thanks to Jasmine Theilgaard this time who took care of my Naturalization application, I am grateful. Check her out! Her professionalism and quick response to my every query has provided me the peace of mind that I need especially at these unprecedented times. For 2 consecutive years, they have been my go to legal adviser for 2 applications. For my ILR last year and for my British Citizenship this year that took only 2mos to get approved. I highly recommend this law office. More power to RCIB!!!
L. L. P.
The service provided by Richmond Chambers is impeccable, from the first assessment interview to the day our application was submitted. Our case had a few complexities and their expertise is exceptional. Thank you Catherine Taroni... you made it possible and we are immensely grateful for your support and your patience with us.
G. B.
We had a very complicated case and both Alex and Zoe were extremely helpful and indeed very patient throughout the process.
Their help and assistant was definitely worth the 5 plus star rating. We couldn't be more happy with them and would certainly go back to them and highly recommend them to produce a strong visa application after getting multiple refusals. Excellent!
I. T.
My family and I would like to thank Zoe Bantleman, Bernard Wood and Marianne Schonle for their very kind professional assistance in helping us get our Tier 1 E Visa. Zoe's knowledge of the Immigration law must be unparalleled. Our application was a little complicated given the deadlines involved. But they applied all their capacity to our success. I highly recommend them.
A. V.
Highly recommend! Lawrence and Jantien were very professional throughout the process. My PR appllication was rejected in 2016 because of excess leaves (according to HO) so I filed an appeal against their decision. Before working with Richmond, I had talked to 4 different law firms in the city , no one was able to give me a strong argument against HO. Everyone was saying my chance of winning would depend on luck. Not being satisfied with the answer, I came to Richmond. Lawrence gave me a strong, logical and solid argument which I knew the chance of winning was high with his reasoning. I finally won the court thanks to Lawrence and the help of Jantien. I would definitely use Richmond again for my citizenship application!
K. L.
Dr. Catherine Taroni was an excellent, attentive, and detailed barrister! Everyone I interacted with was kind, communicative, and was always quick to answer any questions! I would recommend Richmond Chambers and I will be using them again in the future!
H. M.
I am very much thank full to Alexandra pease , Cathrine , Zoe and all who help me in my case and the Richmond chamber team, you guys are dimonds and experts in immigration matters the knowledge,experience and expertise you all have is unimaginable.
My case was really complicated EEA(PR)and I was mentally disturbed,after spending nearly 2000ponds on different big name firm on consultations I was hopeless because they don't have any knowledge and confidence in my case , then later I found Richmond chambers online, read all the reviews and I was impressed and decided to go with them. On first meeting I knew that this guys have excellent knowledge and experience, the way they prepare my application and process is mind blowing, they left no stone unturned, ring fence all the corners ,absolutely fantastic ,no word.
My case went very smooth and stress free even we went to court without any fear and with full confidence. This is all because the way they prepared the appeal bundle, hats 🎩 off. Thanks guys.
Now I am so relaxed and happy . And all the credit goes to the Richmond chamber diamonds 💎.
Guys don't waste time and money on any other barristers except this for you immigrants case. I wasted lot of time and money on different big name firm in U.K. But they are not even near to Richmond chambers.
Have peace of mind and relax after Richmond chamber take your case, don't worry anything. It's worth every penny you spend.
Once again I can't thank enough to you all of you specially Alexandra pease, cathrine and Zoe. Thank for making my live peace full, its means a lot to me .
Thank you very much , God Bless You.

I consider myself very lucky to be able to instruct one of the barrister of Richmond Chambers who’s name is Zarina Rahman who is professional in her job and also she cares so much about her clients jobs. Always answering my emails even when she was out of the office and not working. It was a difficult time for me as I was applying for my indefinite visa and I was so nervous and stressed that’s why I sometimes was rude to her. Howerver she always understood my situation and treated me with respect, helped me during hard times. I do believe that if it wasn’t because of her, I couldn’t get my visa. I am looking forward to working with her in the near future again.
N. C.
Richmond Chambers offers an excellent service. I could not have chosen a better barrister. Lydia is very professional and excellent in her work. Other staff members are lovely and always helpful. I definitely recommend Richmond Chambers!
D. K.
If you're looking for legal advice on immigration, you can stop now. Richmond Chambers really are the best you can get. We dealt with Thomas Aitkin who was knowledgeable, friendly and flawlessly professional.
We had just seven days to respond to a question that the embassy had asked about our visa application. Thomas worked quickly. He met with me in two days where he displayed a deep understanding of the problem and the relevant legislation. A few days later he delivered a seven-page document setting out an airtight legal case.
We now have a visa and it would not have been possible without Thomas Aitkin and Richmond Chambers. They are the best people to have at your side in a crisis. I really cannot recommend them enough.
M. B.
Words can't describe how happy and relieved me and my wife were, when Ms Alexandra Pease, called us and told us the good news. We were both crying. Tears of joy. The news that we have been waiting for years, trying different solicitors till we made the right choice, when it really matters. My application for a 7 years old child born in UK was refused and I had right to appeal. I was shocked and speechless, on how the best interests of my child is that he should return back with his parents country of origin. Not to mention I did submit an Independent Social worker report as well. I then did some research online and booked an appointment with Ms Alexandra Pease. I collected all my documents from my previous solicitors and met her and Mr Alex Papasotiriou on a Tuesday. She agreed to deal with my appeal and said it should be submitted by this Friday. For the first time I had a positive feeling that yes I made the right choice, and my wife agreed as well. All fees involved were discussed, and we agreed on a fixed amount. The preparation and enormous input from Ms Alexandra Pease and Mr Alex Papasotiriou as well as Miss Georgina Griggs, were expertly done. Mr Alex Papasotiriou was present in the Tribunal and his expertise paid off as well. Ms Georgina Griggs as well was present. He was calm and supported us throughout the day. Sincerely speaking, the fees I paid were fully justified at the end, as the meticulous attention to details by Ms Georgina Griggs, the preparation of witness statements, and much more (too many to mention) eventually paid off and our Appeal was allowed by the Honorable Judge. Ms Georgina Griggs checked all statements and made sure all were factual and no inaccuracies. I was lucky. I had 2 Barristers, Ms Alexandra Pease and Mr Alex Papasotiriou, and one pupil Barrister, Ms Georgina Griggs, combining ideas together for my case. Finally, I would like to end this review with an analogy: just imagine, someone very close to you has to do a heart operation, who would you choose to do the surgery; a newly-qualified doctor? or a Consultant with years of expertise? Similarly, I choose Ms Alexandra Pease of Richmond Barristers, and I am very happy to say that I made the right choice. Thank you.
M. E.
Zoe Bantleman and Marianne Schonle couldn't thank you enough. Although my daughter's visa was straight forward case, both of you were able to handle it and prepare a thorough application and cover letter, check the documents and working with me side-side to submit my application in less than 3 days (due to my emergency situation)
A. H.
With the help Dr. Catherine Taroni, I was able to get a Tier 1 Exceptional Talent Visa. I was very overwhelmed at the beginning of the daunting process however Dr. Taroni, helped execute my chase and smoothly and efficiently. She was responsive and went above and beyond to make sure all my questions were answered, she also worked successfully to submit my Visa in the very tight time budget I gave her! With the exception talent visa, the letters of Recommendations are very important, Dr. Taroni made a template for each Letter of Rec I had to submit and tailored it to each of my referees, this was hugely helpful in my case! I thank Dr. Taroni for helping me in this process and also to successfully get my visit. I would highly recommend her to anyone trying to get a Tier 1 Exceptional Talent visa!
N. N.
Brilliant, professional service. Third time using Richmond Chambers, I would highly recommend them. Dr Catherine Taroni assisted me with my ILR application - with a positive outcome. She was very courteous, informative , easy to work with , very reassuring and never too busy to respond to any queries I had.
J. Z.
Richmond Chambers boasts the most outstanding legal professionals in UK and beyond. Their constant drive for perfection and meticulous efforts to help deserve respect and trust.
My thanks, in particular, go to Dr. Catherine Taroni and Ms. Sophia Xiang, her wonderful teammate. Wishing them a brilliant future.
J. B.
Richmond Chambers were and are an absolute Godsend. Gillian was wonderful and very thorough with her work.
Our case was somewhat complicated. We were applying for a spousal visa for my Thai wife. Unfortunately she had previously overstayed a visit visa that attracted a 10 year re-entry ban and also got into trouble with the police. Both these matters could be used by the Home Office to refuse her visa. Fortunately Gillian and I explained the circumstances surrounding the offences and the home office granted her visa.
We put the application in on the 5th January and had the visa granted on the 16th January. Great work by Gillian and I do have to thank the Home Office for granting my wife's visa and allowing us to start the next chapter of our lives with our boys in the UK.

Paul and Sophia helped us with my wife's application for leave to remain as partner (FLR_M).
At every stage they were incredibly helpful, very thorough and communication was excellent. The number of documents that we were asked to produce was enormous but you can be absolutely sure that if you follow Paul's instructions, you'll get the visa.
Excellent! Many thanks Paul and Sophia!

I dealt with Alex Papasotiriou to prepare an Admin Review for the UK Border Force's decision to revoke my father's ILR. We were working to a very tight deadline of just a week and he was still able to formulate a very structured response for this. I found Alex to be prompt and professional throughout the whole process and have no hesitation in recommending his services to anyone.
R. M.
The team helped us wth an immigration issue for an elderly dependent relative. They provided a thorough and responsive service with a well worked out strategy for dealing with what can be complex matters that would be very difficult for individuals to navigate on their own. Highly recommended.

My immigration history was not straightforward. It had been complicated by a divorce and a previous refusal of a Leave to Remain application. I had not anticipated falling in love again during what became a near 16 month wait for my Leave to Remain decision. I subsequently married again and my husband and I were devastated when my spouse visa application was refused: I was consequently suspected of entering into a ’sham marriage’. We submitted everything we could (i.e. bank statements, bills, photos, Facebook pages, contact records, over 15 witness statements from both our families and friends, an online petition of over 2,000 signatures and hundreds of supporting comments from all over the world, and lots of media coverage including three British National newspapers…) All of which failed to get the decision overturned. A court day was inevitable.
At this stage, my husband and I had already been torn apart for nearly a year. In order to spend time with each other we had spent over 3K on flights and hotels. In desperation, we sent out over ten online enquires seeking a legal representative for our court day. Mr. Paul Richmond from Richmond Chambers Immigration Barristers was the only one who responded to our questions personally without automatically trying to persuade us to book a consultation, and he was the only one who asked me to send him the refusal letter to consider whether there was any merit in my case.
Within hours of an initial enquiry via email to Richmond Chambers Solicitors, Paul had already outlined an accurate chronological list of all the key points of my immigration history, detailing every error that the ECO had made and explaining how these errors were not in accordance with the law, without asking for a penny. It was an easy decision to instruct Paul and his excellent team to work on my case.
Paul and his assistant Thomas Aitken gave us very precise guidance in preparing our appeal bundle. Our queries, whether by phone or email were always answered immediately in a friendly and calm professional manner and provided us with the most effective advice, always remaining completely up to date with our case. This eased much of the burden of stress during the period that my husband and I were forced apart and gave us much confidence for our day in court.
Our bundle consisted of 818 pages, along with a very helpful index, every page was well scanned and numbered by the team in a perfectly logical order. Paul wrote a 14 page document, nearly 5,000 words, of a skeleton argument on my behalf. It was the most powerful legal argument I have seen after reading endless online legal aids.
The hearing lasted for about 45 minutes. Soon after, my husband told me that the Judge even complimented Paul on a very clear and informative presentation, adding that it had made his decision very easy.
Four weeks later we received confirmation that we had won our appeal. The Judge wrote a 7 page long determination pointing out every error in my refusal, echoing Paul’s comments and our appeal fee was also refunded.
My husband and I, and our families are deeply appreciative of all the outstanding work that Paul and his team have done in making every effort to help us to reunite. I could not recommend them highly enough to anyone in need of legal representation.
L. T.
Top in London.A huge thank you to Zarina and her team for the hard work and dedication, they genuinely care and do their best. They deliver an exceptional service to my husband and I. Im not one to normally write reviews, but I highly recommend this firm from the bottom of my heart to others who like us a couple of months ago, are currently looking for the best barristers.
W. A. J.
Zarina Rahman took up the refusal of my daughter's Passport Application with the HMPO and they had no choice but to rescind their earlier decision. Today, due to her utmost excellence and care, my daughter has been issued with her Passport. This couldn't have been achieved without Zarina's effort and attention to detail.
I highly recommend Richmond Chambers and the Team to All for their brilliance and meticulous way of rendering their services.
M. A.
My barrister Zoe Jacob was extremely supportive and efficent, and helped me to achieve the desire outcome of my case. Definitely reccommended to all. Any body who want to get great value of time and their money visit Richmond Chambers. Please don't waste themselves to visit unskilled and dodgy peoples because they have abillities to understand your problems and have knowledge to solve them. I do appreciate their great professional service.
m. s.
I was provided with an excellent assistance with my Tier 1 Entrepreneur application by Paul Richmond and Gillian Maccall. My case was not very easy and required a lot of detailed work. I was very fortunate to receive extremely professional and prompt help from Richmond Chambers which has resulted in approval of my application.
D. Y.
I've had a fantastic experience working with Paul Richmond and his colleagues over the past 18 months. My job required me to spend considerable amounts of time working in another EU country during my final UK ILR year, and Paul first advised me clearly on the legal conditions that need to be met to qualify for the ILR. A year and a half later Richmond Chambers provided comprehensive assistance with my ILR application, which has been successful. Their professionalism is exceptional and the quality of their service is very high indeed. Special thanks go to Paul Richmond himself and to Lydia Watton, both of whom have been in charge of my case. It's great to have specialists like this helping people realize their personal and professional aspirations. Am very grateful!
B. G.
Alright....
I came across so many barrister in my life in uk but i dont have words to describe about richmond chambers they are not good they are brilliant or maybe more then that as its 100% worth it. Let me make you clear they have got me a spouse visa if i had a refusal letter from HO i'd still write the same thing about them as the way they worked is amazing. A very special thanks to Dr catherine taroni as she is a great barrister and also a great person and she has done a great job.
I strongly advice to each and everyone that richmond chambers are the best in uk so please do not hesitate to do your case with them. I have never reviewed anywhere else as i dont bother but literally their work made me to write all this.I think words can't describe their work.

Paul helped me with a UK settlement visa for a half sibling following the death of both mother and father. We knew from the outset that this would be a difficult case. Paul guided me through the Application form and ensured I provided the relevant supporting evidences -even evidence that were not asked for. He was worth his weight in gold here. He was able to pre-empt leading/possible questions and ensured I backed them up with evidence.
Unfortunately the initial application was refused because the ECO was not satisfied that we met all the requirements of the relevant section of the UK Immigration Rules.- Note: Not because they didn't have sufficient evidence as this was well covered.
Paul summited a detailed grounds of appeal (13 pages) breaking down and explaining how we fulfilled the relevant UK immigration rules, backed up with cases and directing the ECO to the correct section of the law.
Six months down the line, First tier tribunal issued a court appeal date as they had not received a response to our appeal. Two days later we received an email from the Visa office in Sheffield saying they had overturned their decision to refuse my sibling’s settlement visa and that they are now ready to issue her a visa.
Mission accomplished without going to court!
I am in no doubt that Paul’s detailed grounds of appeal won the day. The appeal showcase his knowledge and expertise in Immigration law.
Throughout my dealings with Paul, I have always found him to be professional, courteous and always quick to respond to his mail.
I thoroughly recommend his services to anyone in need of it.
It was money well spent.
Thank you.

IM PLEASE THAT I HAD CHOSEN RICHMOND CHAMPER and more pleased my case was dealt by Catherine Taroni. my case was very very complicated that I had several refusals previously with an order to leave the UK.
Catherine dealt with my case in a very professional manner and won a successful application for me.
I honestly advice to deal with Catherine ,and I do appreciate her efforts.

My fiancé and I cannot thank the amazing Georgina Griggs, Zoe Bantleman and Annie Ee enough. Due to Covid situation in my country, we had to go through a much prolonged process and the team was so efficient and accommodating the whole time. Will totally recommend Richmond Chambers to anyone.

The price tag is worth it. Our application was not a simple one; my girlfriend from Colombia was going for a working/living visa in the UK. They explained every correct step, every possible bump in the road, every risk and the best ways to …

Geraldine Peterson has been a great help during the most difficult time of my life. My Case involved EEA family permit for my Son and my case was very difficult. Without Geri and Alex help I would have not been able to get the successful result and now finally I am with my son, don’t have enough words to Thank Geri.

I'm pleased that I have had a positive outcome for my application. It was a pleasure to work with Richmond Chambers. A big thank you to everyone especially Thomas Aitken.
Thomas and his team are highly knowledgeable and have been extremely helpful throughout the application process.
I had done quite a bit of research before going ahead with Richmond Chambers. Apart from legal expertise and professionalism, I was really looking for someone with whom I could work as part of a team.
Although Thomas is highly focused and detail oriented, especially when it comes to the legal
framework, he also had an understanding of the complete circumstances and valued our time as well as efforts. The process demanded legal expertise and knowledge across a diverse set of laws, rules and regulations.
The team: Throughout the application process, from initiating the application to collecting supporting documents and presentation, the team at Richmond Chambers ensured that everything was fluid. The application was reviewed by the legal team including a final review by senior members of the team.
Response time: The application process can be quite challenging and stressful at times. The response time to enquiries related to the case is therefore very crucial. Thomas always replied on time and he went the extra mile in providing the required information. I was very comfortable in working with Thomas.
Digital strategy: All communication throughout the process including the submission and review of documents was seamless. Everything was very centralised making it convenient for all parties to collaborate.
These are just a few points that I thought I should mention.
Overall I would like to thank Thomas and his team once again for their continuous support, advice and guidance. I would highly recommend Richmond Chambers.

I would reccomend Richond and chambers, after two and a half years i finally have the outcome i wanted too. credit goes to Tanya Murshed and Catherine Toroni, Since april 19th i have been in india waiting for my visa, All the work they people go through to help people and change their lifes around. Finally going back to UK tommorw with my parnter and start my life there. The statments Tanya and Catherine did for me and my witnesses were just spot on,l 2 and a half years were very very stressfull for me and my parnter waiting for my visa. Tanya made sure all the paper work was done and completed for the court date and made sure everything was perfect. Catherine was also very good at replying to emails very quickly and made sure she answerd all my questions, and was very paitent with us all. Relaying on someone for such a big thing was very very stresful but the out come is what i wanted and i cant thank them enough. After meeting so many solictors we finally found one that we trusted with all our heart. its very hard to share all personal things with someone whom you dont really trust but with Tanya and Catherine it was very easy and simple. They were very friendly and my parnter also met with Tanya and said she was very friendly and told us on the first meeting that they would try there best to help us with our big life problem. After two and a half years we have the visa and going back to UK. I would reccomend and i want to thanks eveyone who helped me, im very happy and happy to say people from out my famliy helped me and solved my problem and changed my life around.
C. S.
Due to the help and support from my barrister at Richmond Chambers I have now been granted Indefinite Leave to Enter/ Remain in the UK. This is the best result we could hope for and I now will be able to return with my family to the UK. Thank you for all your support.
E. Y.
I would definitely recommend Richmond Chambers to the others. Dr. Taroni was very friendly and professional. She has given us many pieces of useful advice and explained the legal terms clearly without any confusion. The team was efficient and cautious so there is very little to worry about during the application process.
D. M.
Richmond Chambers assisted us in obtaining an entrepreneur visa. We were satisfied with both the process and results achieved. They successfully incorporated our existing business plan and were excellent at organizing the application submission.

Booked in a consultation with Ms Lydia Watton and without her expert advice, I really wouldn't have managed to understand how to fix certain issues surrounding my ILR application. Absolutely brilliant and she answered every single answers even within a flash, which was damn impressive. I met 3 other solicitors before who could not explain me such clarity and wasted so much time and money. If I didn't use Richmond for my ILR application, then it was out of my own personal financial issues, otherwise I think they would have nailed it completely. From my experience, I would highly recommend them.

My words are not enough to express my greatfullness to
Alexandra Pease and Zarina Rahman. Alex is the one who i found the most brilliant barrister ever. Last 7 years i been straggling for my twin daughters as they were living back home with my parents and i was living in the UK without them. I made the first application for my daughters in 2014 and that application was refused due to the lack of sufficient evidence. Immediately after that I lodged the appeal with the help of a lawyer and had the hearing in mid 2016. Unfortunately that appeal was also dismissed due to unsatisfactory level of documents that I submitted that time.
It was a very difficult and frustrated situation as it was a long 7 years of waiting for all of us. There were some other constrains related to this case and because of that the whole case was very complex.
Later I met so many lawyers to get the right direction but couldn't feel confident on those options. Afterwards I met Alex and that time everything got changed. Her professionalism and ways of working are amazing. In the first meeting i decided to work with her. She gave me the impression of high standard and I started feeling comfortable and confident. This time I was well prepared and submitted the applications in a way so that there is no lack of evidence. I had so many evidence that I never realized to be important for the application; Alex has given me the direction what should be added. This time I came to know which document is important and why. Even after the submission Alex and Zarina helped me with the answers of my queries that came in my mind randomly; within 60 days of the application submission we heard the most expected result and within a week my daughters joined me to fulfill my family.
Alex is very much prompt in replying any email with queries; I'm lucky to get her with me in this journey and Zarina was the extraordinary support for me. I appreciate all their kind support to complete my life with my twin daughters, now I'm a happy mother.

Without a doubt, Richmond Chambers was the best search result for me on the internet.
This is truly a team of specialist, of experts in UK immigration Law.
Communication EXCELLENT , knowledge of UK Immigration EXCELLENT , Professionalism EXCELLENT. Over-all service Second to none.
Within two months of Richmond chambers taken over a going three years case with the HO, a positive outcome was archived.
At the point of locating Richmond Chambers I was truly frustrated.
I was fed-up with so called Solicitors who claim to be able to deal with immigration cases/law, believe me, I had spoken to a good number of them after paying the initial fee (and more) over the past few years, and none could really detail or explain what they would do with my case without tripping over themselves to collect money.
As a British citizen (married to a non – European and over stayer) i had never used a UK immigration solicitor/lawyer/adviser before, I was truly ripped off for a good number of years by a particular solicitor‘s firm who’s solution was always to fill and summit one application after the other whilst offering no challenge to the UKBA nor displaying adequate knowledge of UK immigration Law.
Richmond Chambers, with particular reference to Thomas Aitkens and Paul Richmond, we are truly thankful to you.
A Brief of our case:
Richmond Chambers accepted to represent us in May, for an appeal hearing due in September and notified HO by mid-May of them now representing us,( I and my wife truly believe this notification prompted,this next step), a reconsideration of a refusal for leave to remain which was over a year old was received in mid-June from the UKBA requesting also that certain documents be forwarded to UKBA within a certain time frame, the Chambers responded (on the 26th of July) with a legal submission of 28 pages along with the requested documents , and within 6 days (including a weekend) my wife was granted leave to remain, to be specific it was granted on the 1ST of this July and we write this on the 25th of July and we are still in a daze, a joyful daze.
We are certainly recommending Richmond chambers to anyone we meet who expresses the need for an honest UK immigration advice or solution.
Richmond Chambers, with particular reference to Thomas Aitkens and Paul Richmond, we are truly thankful to you.

Alex Papasotiriou has been a great help during the most difficult times in our lives. He has dealt with our case in a very understanding, respectful and professional manner. We appreciate his consistent hard work and efforts in preparing for our case and for representing us in court. Thank you very much.
F. C.
I would like to thank Richmod Solicitor particularly ALEX PAPASOTIRIOU who worked tirelessly to make it possible to win our 322(5) case which seemed impossible. One of the top rated barristers referred me to Alex. According to him he is the most talented and professional barristers which is proved in court at highest level. His extremely great grip on Law, dedication, hardwork, megical personality, fast communication with clients (responding to our queries by email was faster than a wtsapp message),
confidence in front of Judge helped us to win our case. He owned our case and went an extra, Sorry! 100 extra miles to prepare the case which impressed us and the judge with his written and oral submission.

I am so pleased that Catherine handled my husband’s case...his case was complicated but Catherine knew exactly what approach to take and she put her 100% into the case. My husband and I couldn’t have chosen a better firm to help us and we are delighted with the outcome of the case. We highly recommend Richmond Chambers to everyone!
A. J.
I don’t have enough words how to say thank you to “Mr. ALEX PAPASOTIRIOUS” for his impeccable guidance and exceptional service. I was hopeless after losing from first-tier tribunal and application for permission to upper tribunal. But his legal expertise and professionalism was above my expectations and he dealt with my case in a very understanding, respectful and professional manner. I appreciate his consistent hard work and efforts in preparing for my case. ALEX PAPASOTIRIOUS was really helpful from the start and saved me from a lot of stress and uncertainty. Top Barrister, I promise you will be impressed and extremely satisfied with his excellent and exceptional service. Thank you so much once again. Adeel Zulfiqar.

Mr Paul Richmond is definitely is your right immigration lawyer if you plan to apply Tier 1 Enterpreneur Visa.
I came to know Tier 1 enterpreneur visa in Hong Kong in January, 2014. I have met a lot of "consultant" in Hong Kong but i am not feel comfortable for what the "consultants" told me. I then search through the internet and found Richmond Chambers on the list. I then wrote an email for enquiry and i couldnt believe that Mr Richmond replied my mail just few hours later. He told me everything about Tier 1 Enterpreneur Visa and he also assigned a colleague who can speak my language to talk to me in details.
The visa application is very smooth and it seems like Mr Richmond is with me in Hong Kong because Mr Richmond will always reply to my email within an hour.
I am so happy that i can get my visa in just 7 days without an interveiw. Thank you Paul and all the staff of Richmond Chambers for the great services you have provided me.
P. S.
It has been a great experience with Richmond Chambers. I was advised by Tanya Murshed and Lydia Watton. I am really impressed by their engagement. They are very approachable and always kept me in the loop. They advised me on every single step right from the beginning and showed me the right direction on my application. I will recommend the firm to anyone anytime.
D. P.
My wife and I are absolutely delighted with the service we received from Richmond Chambers.
Right from start to finish, Paul Richmond, Catherine Taroni and Sophia Xiang were extremely professional, thorough, friendly and efficient and made my wife's application as easy and stress free as they possibly could. If ever we had an issue or was unsure about anything we only had to send an email and we would receive a reply almost immediately.
For anyone reading this that is contemplating useing Richmond Chambers, my advice to you is, give them a call. I promise, you won't be disappointed.
Finally, I would just like to say a big thank you to Paul, Catherine and Sophia. We definitely would not have been able to do it without your help and guidance.
5 star rating from Adelia and I but only because we can't give you more.

I cannot thank Alex Papasotiriou enough for his council. Your legal expertise and professionalism went above and beyond my expectations throughout what I called my ordeal. It was a very dire time for me in which I rested a lot easier due to the constant reassurance and the level of care and effort in my case.
I want to express my profound appreciation for representing me and spending a great amount of time and effort on my retention of right EEA residence permit.

..."don't waste your time with others, just go straight to Richmond Chambers....." Simply the best, Gillian was awesome, how professionalism should be, shame I wasted my time, money and piece of mind with a previous chamber before being directed to Richmond. Listen to me, when it comes to Immigration matters: don't waste your time, just go straight to Richmond, simple!

Dr Catherine Taroni provided an absolute first class service in all respects for the appeal process for my wife.

If youre looking for a company that prides them selves on excellence and delivering then I would look no further than Richmond Chambers. it's money well worth spending. I couldn't thank Lawrence Youssefian assisted by Zoe Bantleman enough for all the hard work, consistency and professional service they delivered at all times. They are prompt to answer any question or concern you may have. My situation was difficult and their advice was in the end the best possible route to take. The turn around time was 5 months from start to finish, which in my opinion was pretty quick. It was very difficult at times however without their services and assistance it would have been a much more painful process. The end result was what we were hoping for and I feel like a huge burden has been lifted off my shoulders. They are not only professional but very personable. I highly recommend their services and will continue to use them in the future. Could thank them enough.

I take great pleasure to recommend Alexandra Pease and Lydia Watton. In my honest opinion, they are the fine blend of professionalism with refined expertise yet with a human touch. To study law is one thing but to apply in real life is something that 'They' Define. Every minute spent with them whether it was thru email or phone or face to face is worth every penny. My experience was something magical. I showed them the entangled threads of my life and in no time they made it clear and straight just by touching with their magical wand like a fairy. They have inspired me to atleast try to excel in my own profession. I wish them and every member in their team a very best from the bottom of my heart.
