Good news indeed. You have done it again. No words can express how grateful we are to you and your team for working hard on all immigration cases involving our family. A letter of appreciation will be hand delivered to your office. Again, thank you for your support and dedication to our cases.
I just wanted to say thank you ever so much for your help and representation today. Being in the court room was a lot more daunting than expected and I am really pleased with the service and representation you supplied. I would also like to give thanks as I know you took on my case at the last moment leaving you with a lot less time to prepare than you’d have desired. Yet you helped put me at ease and brought very much a calmness to the proceedings without giving any unrealistic expectations. I found this very reassuring.
We are immeasurably grateful to you and your team for taking us through the application process. You have been really wonderful to communicate with. To say we are pleased would be a great understatement, I would like to extend our appreciation for the amazing work done by you and your team. Your professionalism has impressed us and we consider ourselves honoured to have you as our attorney. Again thank you so much for everything your team have done, we commend you for the professionalism, skill and knowledge. Your devoted watch on details ensured a smooth flow of events through to the end product.
We would sincerely like to thank both Tim and his colleagues at Leathes Prior for all their professional help during our recent “problem” – when we first met we were very concerned about a certain possible outcome – but thanks to your experience, knowledge and professionalism the matter was resolved with the best possible outcome for all concerned – it was very reassuring to have your team on our side
