What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

York Solicitors has built a reputation among its clients for handling immigration and family matters with a level of care that reviewers repeatedly single out. Several customers describe the firm's work on visa applications, renewals and settlement cases, noting that each stage was explained clearly and that communication by phone, email and messaging kept them informed throughout. An aspect raised across a number of reviews is the calm, patient handling of complex or inconsistent details, with matters resolved smoothly even when difficulties arose.

Mr Thomas is named frequently as a knowledgeable and approachable family lawyer, credited with guiding clients through multiple applications over many years, while Rish Udawatte is praised for legal expertise, strategic thinking and attention to detail on complicated disputes. Theepan also receives mention for accessibility and responsiveness. Reviewers highlight efficient, timely completion of work and a professional yet friendly manner, with advice offered in plain terms that put minds at ease. Clients who have returned for repeat instructions speak of consistent results across successive visa matters, and the firm's readiness to answer questions at short notice features in several accounts. Employment, immigration and family law work appear among the matters described.

Tl;dr, I actually felt supported by a confident professional that had my back. A huge thank you to Rish Udawatte and his team from York Solicitors in Ilford, for their exceptional professionalism, expertise, and dedication in handling my spouse visa application. My case was highly complicated and far from straightforward, with a number of challenging issues that required careful attention and a strong legal strategy. From the very beginning, Rish and his team handled the matter with professionalism, patience, and meticulous attention to detail. What particularly impressed me was how approachable, responsive, and supportive Rish and his team were throughout. Despite the complexity of my case, they explained matters clearly and kept me informed at every stage. Their fees were also very reasonable, especially considering the level of expertise, time, and effort involved. I would highly recommend Rish Udawatte and his team, to anyone looking for experienced, professional, and reliable UK immigration solicitors.

York Solocitors were great in managing my wife’s visa renewal. Most of the communication was done through WhatsApp, which meant there was a good deal of back and forth and deal with my constant questions…they were able to really put my mind at ease throughout the process.

York Solicitors provided me with extremely helpful and professional advice, guiding me in the right direction throughout the process. Theepan and his team are always accessible and responsive whenever needed. During the application process, I provided some details that were inconsistent with the nationality requirements. However, the team handled the situation with calmness, patience, and professionalism, ensuring that everything was resolved smoothly. I am truly grateful for their wonderful work and would highly recommend York Solicitors to anyone seeking reliable and dedicated legal assistance. Thank you once again.
