Legal services provided were absolutely impeccable! I had doubts when firstly using Richmond for a consultation for my Tribunal, the report the person I dealt with 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 despite my adverse immigration history!! 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 to recommend Richmond to anyone who needs a pair of professional hands to give that magic touch on their immigration application! The BEST in the market. Thank you ever so much!!

I would highly recommend Richmond Chambers for the expert counsel that was provided. I was highly gratified by the dedication, the meticulous sense of detail, and the effort that was put into my application. The service was phenomenal and the advice given was extremely comprehensive and professional. I consider myself lucky for handing my application through this propitious law firm.

Thank you ever so much Richmond Chambers overall and extra special thank you to the person I dealt with 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 the person I dealt with, 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 the person I dealt with, 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 the person I dealt with 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. The person I dealt with 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 the person I dealt with at Richmond Chambers for his knowledge and advice as well as the organized and professional approach he deal with client. Again thanks so much to the person I dealt with!

I applied for a Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa with Richmond Chambers. From the first meeting with the person I dealt with, I could tell she was knowledgeable and competent. Over a few months, she worked incredibly hard, providing detailed feedback about my business plan, sound guidance on extra documentation needed to support my case, and answered my endless questions about documentation needed. She was very responsive and flexible, especially when I decided to apply from the US instead of the UK, which had different requirements. She aggregated the application into a well-organized binder for submission to the Home Office. My application was approved within 3 days of the Home Office receiving my paperwork. Truly a testament to the preparation work done by Richmond Chambers!

We contacted Richmond Chambers again for our application for a second Spouse Visa for my wife. As before the service we received was excellent. We can recommend the person I dealt with and his team of experienced lawyers as being totally trustworthy and reliable.

Thank you ever so much Richmond Chambers overall and extra special thank you to the people I dealt with who personally dealt with my case. I applied in July 2015 for ILR - Long Residence route. My case was not overly complicated; however, it did require firm understanding of latest Immigration Acts. Before I found Richmond Chambers from Google, I called and requested assistance from some other law firms and chambers. All of them said my case had very slim chance of getting ILR without explaining to me why and how they are going represent me, making me even more panicked. The moment I found Richmond Chambers from Google I already had very positive feeling that I found the right person who can assist with my case. It was proved that my intuition was indeed correct after I sent an initial email to the person I dealt with . Just under an hour, I received a long email from the person I dealt with detailing every single inquiry that I listed about my case, i.e. which law applies, which year, which date, whether it is okay to do so, etc. I have to emphasize that just from one initial email, you can immediately tell the differences with other law firms. Every sentence was very well-structure, carried a clear meaning with no ambiguity at all, perfect grammar and punctuation. This email immediately eased my nervousness and I knew I had found a top-notch immigration barrister for my case. Along the way they assisted me every single steps as promised such as advising me which documents to prepared for each category, how to count my absences correctly, etc. Then, they personally prepared Witness Statement and Legal Framework which are very easy to follow for even non-specialist like myself, and their reasoning and arguments are very strong. Particularly, the lady was extremely helpful prepared a nice bundle for me and I just needed to carry that with me to the appointment. Overall I have had a really pleasant experience with Richmond Chambers during my journey to ILR. They are the best-best-best and top-notch immigration chambers in the UK in my opinion and I am extremely and very much happy with the services provided and I can't recommend them enough. At the end of this long review, I want to emphasize that with Richmond Chambers they do not only take care of actual paperworks for you, along the way you can feel they are actually very honest, nice and kind barristers unlike many other barristers or solicitors out there in London. Thus, if any of potential clients who is reading my review and still hesitating whether to appoint Richmond Chambers as your barrister, I can honestly advise you that don't look further, Richmond Chambers is the best immigration barristers team you can ask for.

My case was not an easy one, after spending many years wasting our time and money to other lawyers, me and my husband were very lucky to find Richmond Chamber's gem, the person I dealt with. HIs advice to go back to home country and apply settlement visa from there proved a great success. In the preparation of my application and paper work he left no stone unturned, as a result I got my Settlement Visa within 15 days. His professional services and expertise are commendable. I always got a prompt reply to all my queries from him or his team. Thank you very much for all your efforts to reunite me with my husband and earning peace of mind. May you get more and more success in future.

"Thank you to Richmond Chambers LLP for excellent service. I am very happy with the service provided, in order to get Permanent Residence Card. My Barrister was very professional, trustful, honest, reliable with an outstanding knowledge of Immigration Law. Great communication skills and meticulous attention to details. He was thorough and approachable at all times and if I had a query, I would get a call or email back and the outcome was 100% successful. Would strongly reccommend. Best barrister I have ever came across."

Richmond chambers was asked to pick up an existing immigration case with 3 days to spare before the hearing. They made all the arrangements, had a consultation with me, exchanged notes and paperwork and built a case in 3 days. The professionalism and wealth of knowledge by the barrister and her assistant was world class. They put my mind at ease from the start and were constantly in touch by phone and email, letting me know what is happening and when. On the day of the hearing I her and she walked me through the entire process and pre-empted a lot of what was going to happen. Needless to say, I got the desired outcome and am super impressed with the team and the Chambers. Would certainly recommend and use again.

First of all , i would like to comment on the great service from Richmond Chambers. They are the best baristers you can ever find, with their expertize you can guaranteed the best service. My application was refused and I didn't know what to do and I contacted them through email and after reading my email he rang me and told me of the good points that I have to appeal against. So I went to see them and at the consultation he told me that I have a strong case to go to my appeal. I have now been granted leave to remain with the help from them. I would recommend them to anyone, he is very professional and you can get in contact with him at anytime. He is always there to answer any questions via emails. Excellent service, highly recommend !

My immigration history was not straightforward. It had been complicated by a divorce and a previous refusal of a Leave to Remain application. I was consequently suspected of entering into a ’sham marriage’. We submitted everything we could, but a court day was still inevitable. Richmond Chambers Immigration Barristers 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.

My husband and I had a special case and we needed the best advice we can have to submit our application for SPOUSE VISA. After seeing more than 6 solicitors and paying different fees, none of them was able to reassure us and to lead us properly. I was so frustrated by their unprofessional service as well as ripping us off, I decided to look for the best immigration lawyer, through people's review on the net, because they were in my shoes & they will be telling the truth, and by the way that is always my strategy when I need to check on a person or on a product. That's when i read about Richmond Chambers & their professional, excellent & efficient service. They were rated 5 starts and were highly recommended. From my husband's initial phone call to their barrister he told me : this solicitor knows his job well. Effectively, at our first meeting with Their staff we were reassured and contented towards his forth coming service for us. I'll never forget his statement. He told us, we have 100% success rate and without interview. That was my case He understood our concern, explained it to us legally and we started the spouse visa process with his guidance step by step until the day of the application's submission. I can't thank enough Richmond team for their support, guidance and excellent service. Definitely I will recommend them without any hesitation to everyone. Thank you and God bless you all

Just want to say a huge thank you to the Richmond service. They were able to accommodate my request for reassurance via email for a small fee. I'm greatful for the honesty as they could of tried to deter me from applying for a visa myself, but they didn't they confirmed with me that I was on the right track and gave me some important tips/ guidance during my e-consultation. I would deffinately use the service again. They were very quick at responding, all of the 3 other companies I enquirer about jumped straight into the cost and fees. Richmonds were the only ones that came back with a thorough email detailing the support they could offer. Could not fault them.

Richmond Chambers were 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 [name removed] and his team", and he was absolutely right as their professional knowledge, organization, and precision provided me with the comfort that applicants with complex cases would seek for. I would like to thank Richmond Chambers for there professional advice and kind assistance when dealing with my application. They were always there to answer my phone calls and my numerous emails instantly, when I was abroad. They are 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 Richmond Chambers & wish you all the best and success.

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.

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.

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.

I was introduced to Richmond Chambers by a good friend of mine who had a case already with them. This was my first experience of having a barrister and I am really satisfied with the service I received during my case time. I have found Richmond Chambers to be very professional and helpful in my ILR case and they always answered my questions on time.
I will definitely go with them again for my naturalization case next year as I have a strong trust in Richmond Chambers.I will recommend them to all my family and friends in the future.
