Excellent and resssuring experience

Anna Bregstein supported myself and my partner's successful applications for indefinite leave to remain. We found Anna to be highly professional, empathetic, and pragmatic throughout the process. We had lots of questions and Anna's responses were consistently prompt, reassuring, and helpful. We elected to use Richmond Chambers' full service support option and it was absolutely worth it. Anna made the process straightforward and far less stressful than it would have been without her assistance.

Richmond Chambers rescued my EU Settlement application

Dr Taroni at Richmond Chambers helped save my late-arrival EU Settlement Scheme application. The firm dealt professionally and effectively with the Home Office, eventually bringing the application to a successful conclusion. She masters the details of immigration law and she is able to explain it in plain English to a layperson. The entire team was responsive and productive. Having dealt with multiple law firms, only one or two of which reached a similar high level of service, I strongly recommend Richmond Chambers; I would not hesitate to use them again.

Top class service!

My wife recently received approval for her British citizenship application. We owe a huge debt of thanks to Alex Papasotiriou and Alexander Ferguson at Richmond Chambers, who prepared the application meticulously as usual. This was the culmination of a 6 year process. We have utilised Alex Papasotiriou at every stage of my wife's journey through the immigration system, leading to successful Leave to Enter, Leave to Remain, Indefinite Leave to Remain and finally British Citizenship applications. In what was initially a potentially complicated application, Alex has explained all aspects clearly and carefully. He assisted us in preparing detailed and thorough applications and was always available to answer any questions that we had. We would have no hesitation in recommending Alex Papasotiriou and Alexander Ferguson to anybody who has the need of an immigration barrister. Top class service.

I worked with Ms Gillian McCall for the second time in the last three years, and once again the experience was excellent. She handled my case with complete professionalism, attention to detail, and great communication throughout.

Thanks to her expert guidance, my 5-year visa was approved smoothly and without any issues. I really appreciate her consistent support and dedication across both applications.

highest recommendation for immigration matters

I would like to sincerely thank Catherine Taroni and her team at Richmond Chambers for their outstanding work! At one of the most crucial times in my life, they guided me through the Administrative Review process and successfully helped me obtain settlement in the UK.

What impressed me most was how quickly and thoroughly they prepared all the necessary documents, ensuring every detail was in place. Catherine and her team were always patient in answering my questions, which greatly eased my stress and gave me peace of mind throughout the process.

I am truly grateful for their professionalism, dedication, and care. For anyone seeking help with immigration matters, I highly recommend Catherine and her team — they provide the most professional advice and effective solutions.

Once again, my heart felt thanks and highest recommendation.

Highly recommended!!

We have used Richard Chambers Immigration Barristers for submitting two of our visa applications (2022 and 2024/25). Both were successful first submissions.

Thank you to Miss Alexandra Pease, Alex Papasotiriou, and the wider team for guiding us through our applications with professionalism, clarity, and genuine care.

They were incredibly accommodating throughout the process, always responsive to our questions and proactive in their support.

Their expertise and attention to detail gave us confidence every step of the way.

We’re truly grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone navigating immigration matters.

I can't thank Anna enough for the outstanding support and guidance throughout the process of renewing my UK spousal visa. From our very first consultation, she was knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly reassuring. Immigration processes can be stressful and uncertain, but Anna made everything feel manageable and clear every step of the way.

She provided timely updates, answered all of our questions with patience and precision, and ensured that every detail of our application was perfectly prepared. Thanks to her expertise, my visa renewal was approved without issue – a huge relief and a testament to the quality of service we received.

If you're looking for someone who truly understands the UK immigration system and cares about getting the best possible outcome for their clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Anna. We’re so grateful for all the help and will absolutely turn to her again for any future immigration needs!

Highly recommend Alex (Miss Alexandra Pease)

My deepest gratitude to Alex (Miss Alexandra Pease) and her team for helping me prepare and successfully submit four applications over the past six years: the entry clearance as a spouse, extension, ILR and Naturalisation. All through this journey, she and her team were absolutely brilliant. Thanks to Alex’s expertise and clear and timely communication, the process was almost stress free. (Though we worked hard to collect and to prepare required documents.) We were always informed where we were in the process and what we needed to do next. We highly recommend Alex to anyone who is looking for an excellent immigration lawyer.

ILR application

I started the application for settlement status in the UK through the Richmond chambers immigration barristers ~2 months ago. I worked mainly with Anna Bregstein who was very dedicated and professional throughout the process. In the last 5 years, I worked for several start-ups and went through covid which made my application a bit more complex (preparation of the documents, making sure I satisfied all the requirements etc). This is not my first time working with Richmond chambers, in fact I also applied for the Tier 1 visa which was also successful. Overall, I highly recommend working with them.

Highly recommended!

The professionalism and support we received from Olivia Waddell and Rossana Atkinson for Phoebe's spouse visa to the UK was exceptional.
The visa was accomplished in a relatively short period of time, they were with us every step of the way, even during the Christmas holidays so that we could meet deadlines.
In addition, everything was clearly explained and well prepared to make the process as simple and efficient it could be, on our side.
We cannot imagine anyone wanting to do the application process themselves, especially given the reasonable cost for this service.
Very highly recommended, and actually by far the best lawyers and law firm we have ever worked with.
Thank you so much Olivia and Rosanna!

Visa Approval - Richmond Chambers

Alex Papasotiriou & Alexandra Pease, they make a dream team together & can make anything possible. My mother applied for the most difficult Adult dependent Visa 3 years back via some other Immigration Firm and it got refused. When I was completely hopeless that time I contacted Alex & Alex from Richmond Chambers, to be honest I was not very hopeful in the beginning as the success rate for Adult Dependents is only 4-5% and on top of that my mother’s visa application was already rejected once. However, the commitment, hardwork, efficiency & tremendous knowledge that Alex & Alex shown in my mother’s application process as well as in the tribunal hearing was commendable. Because of them, my mother got her visa without any problem. They’re the best not only that they’re the best in their profession but because the empathy, support & kindness they’ve shown throughout this difficult journey was remarkable.
