Branch Austin McCormick LLP

I had the best experience being supported by my solicitor, Rima Shah. She managed both my remortgage and the purchase of my new flat, and the process could not have gone any better. I was kept informed at every stage, and all of my questions and queries were answered promptly and without fail. Rima was always supportive and provided guidance whenever I needed it throughout what at times felt like a lengthy and challenging process. I would like to sincerely thank Rima for the care, professionalism, and dedication she showed throughout the entire journey. Her support made a real difference, and I would not hesitate to use her services again in the future. Branch Austin McCormick is very well represented by Rima Shah, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional solicitor.

Highly Professional and Exceptional Service! I had a fantastic experience working with Branch Austin McCormick LLP, specifically with Efrat Shemesh and Lisa Allen-Greenaway, who assisted me with my visa application process. From start to finish, both Efrat and Lisa demonstrated outstanding expertise and deep knowledge in handling my case. They were extremely thorough, professional, and ensured that everything was executed in a timely and efficient manner. Navigating visa processes can often be stressful, but their guidance, prompt communication, and attentive approach made the entire experience smooth and seamless. I felt completely confident in their hands throughout the entire process. I am extremely grateful for their dedication and top-tier support, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Branch Austin McCormick LLP to anyone in need of expert legal assistance.

We worked with Efrat Shemesh at Branch Austin McCormick on a UK family visa application covering my wife and daughter, and the outcome was exactly what we hoped for. The financial evidence in our case was not the standard salaried route, and Efrat knew precisely how to present it so that it met the requirements without ambiguity. She replied quickly to every question, kept both applications moving in parallel so nothing fell through the cracks, and was consistently calm and clear at a point when we were juggling a full international move on top of everything else. Highly experienced, genuinely professional, and we would recommend her and the firm without hesitation.

Efrat and Lisa helped me with my spouse visa application. I've had initial call with Efrat to assess the case, she gave me many tips of what to prepare so we are fully ready at the time of request. They made sure to make all the process simple and easy for me, they took care of all the details with immigration from A to Z, and I just waited for the approval. They were always available for question, calls, and always provided professional answers Thank you so much Efrat and Lisa!

I’ve worked with Efrat Shemesh one of the Partners from Austin McCormick LLP on an Exceptional Talent Visa application. Efrat provided clear guidance on how to write the endorsement request, what to focus on, advised on which people from my network I should seek a recommendation letter from and very importantly provided feedback on the required evidence and what should be excluded as it is either out of scope or irrelevant. The office kept in close touch and helped me successfully navigate the application process and then kept me informed until I’ve the good news :) I recommend Austin McCormick LLP and Efrat to anyone applying for a Talent Visa.

Branch Austin McCormick is not a factory. They take on genuinely difficult, high-stakes cases and bring both legal precision and real human care to the process. My case was complex. I had lived and worked in the UK for years before Brexit, but left when my mother became seriously ill in Australia — and was then caught there by Covid travel restrictions. Eight years later, I had to convince the Home Office to restore my right to remain under circumstances entirely beyond my control. Charlotte Catto led that process with exceptional skill, patience, and empathy. Over many months she reconstructed eight years of my life into a coherent, legally compelling submission — translating my emotional account into precise legal language without losing the substance of what had happened. The result: a successful discretionary application. I now hold Settled Status and Permanent Right to Work in the UK. For anyone facing a complex immigration situation — Brexit, extended absence, or anything that doesn't fit neatly into standard categories — I recommend Branch Austin McCormick without hesitation. They take on the hard cases and they win them.

I would like to provide a review on my experience with Sarita Ghere, Partner with Branch Austin McCormick LLP. Sarita acted as my solicitor in the process of my recent purchase of a property. Sarita was a pleasure to deal with and managed all aspects of the transaction with efficiency, professionalism and with clear communication at all times. I was always kept up to date on status and progress which was very important to me. Any potential issues or causes for delay were communicated to me in a timely manner which assisted in reaching resolution speedily. The transaction was completed within 7 weeks from instruction which exceeded my expectations. The entire process was smooth and seamless which was expertly managed by Sarita. Her work was thorough and precise and I had full confidence in her knowledge, skills and expertise in providing me with the necessary advice and guidance that I needed throughout the process. I would thoroughly recommend Sarita's services for all matters related to the purchase of a property and was exceptionally pleased with all aspects of her work.
