After doing much research to determine the best solicitor to assist me with submitting my UK Fiance Visa application, I settled on Premium Solicitors Ltd. and can say that it was a great experience.

Liam Thompson
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best solicitors with out a doubt, Arshad and Victoria did more than they needed to. After having a bad experience with a previous solicitor I had big doubts and I was shocked at how good the service was with this premium solicitors that I was kinda in denial and doubted them a lot. They gave me more time than they had to, answers the 1 million questions I kept asking and never made it about the money. After just receiving the approved application of my daughter right of abode, I wouldn’t go anywhere else, this is how you should run a solicitor business. Me and my family will forever be greatful. Thank you so much.

Thanks for all the help Mr Arshad and Nargis.

A friend recommended Premium Solicitors when I was seeking help and I am very glad she did. Arshad and Nargis were extremely helpful and kind. You can tell that they master their work - they were structured and very organised paying attention to the tiniest details which is important in those applications. They have taken care of everything from A to Z and I did not have to worry about a single thing. Everything was smooth, and all I had to do was show up to the appointment. I cannot recommend them enough and I am very grateful I ended up choosing them to work on my case. These processes can be daunting and overwhelming, but they took everything off my shoulders.

K Bashir
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ken Allen
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We found Premium Solicitors, and especially Victoria, to be very professional, helpful and thorough. No stone was left unturned in the visa application process. We would whole heartedly recommend Premium Solicitors to anyone that is a genuine applicant and struggling to obtain a visa. We would honestly give them more stars if we could.

S Mathe
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I highly recommend booking a consultation with Arshad/Premium Solicitors, before applying for any visa, even if you're confident in your own abilities. In my experience, he stood out as the best solicitor, genuinely willing to help and sympathizing with my situation. Unlike other solicitors I contacted, he provided vital and useful information after my query before I had even decided I was going to make a booking, even at the risk of losing a potential client. While it's understandable that solicitors should be compensated for their services, the financial challenges many of us face make it crucial to ensure that our money is well-spent and valuable.

Arshad and his team at premium solicitors are now the only solicitors I trust and will continue to rely on in the future. If only I had approached him earlier, I would be in a much better position now. Despite months of researching case guidelines, I still missed important details because immigration laws are constantly evolving and accessing up-to-date information can be difficult.

If you're on the verge of submitting your application, I urge you to book a consultation with Arshad and have him review your documents, as even minor errors can have costly consequences.

Arshad, thank you sincerely for your invaluable assistance.

Thomas Gill

Halima Khatun
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A fantastic firm whom you can trust with all your immigration matters without hesitation as Arshad and Nargis really are experts. Unlike some firms who take a day or two to even call you back, everything at Premium Solicitors was prompt, efficient, friendly and professional.

I gave them an extremely tight time frame but they delivered and successfully obtained the visa which had been refused first time when submitted by a different firm. In a word BRILLIANT!!

I am writing this to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to Mr. Arshid Mehmood and Miss Nargis from premium Solicitors for their professional support and services. You were thorough and fair throughout my case (returning resident visa). Thank you for your hard work and working extra hard to ensure our success and I feel you went above and beyond.

Your service was friendly and professional and I will not hesitate to recommend you to others. Your support and kindness I shall always remember with much gratitude.

Davyd Amirov
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It so happened that I had to deal with many lawyers recently. That would be 5-10... I've  found Arshad Mahmood, as they had short notice consultations available at the time that I needed. From the first conversation there wasn't a single query he didn't address fully, honestly and in a  clear manner. My experience is beyond any expectations!

In a super stressful situation, Mr. Arshad suggested straight to the point, reliable and realistic options for me and my close relative. Without hiding any nuances or offering nonsensical useless choices/information which is too often the case, unfortunately. On the contrary, he pointed out important aspects relevant to my case, which did make a difference and saved me a lot of time and money. Although my matter is not an easy one, he found as much time as was needed, understanding my circumstances.

Can’t thank enough Premium Solicitors. Additionally, working 7 days a week is a great advantage, for which I’m grateful as well. Thank you, Davyd Amirov
