“A good friend recommended Temple Gate Solicitors and they have done a tremendous job with my visa application through a partner route. All the way through, their attentiveness and human approach has been beyond impressive. They have an honest, pragmatic approach and take you through the process with clarity in every step. Huge thanks to Mr. Tharindu Ellepola who dealt with my case.”

“The rarity of a law firm that emphasises care over anything else on their website as well as 5 stars on Google Reviews is what sold us on Temple Gate Solicitors in applying for a Partner Visa. The news that my visa had been granted came just shy of a month after I had submitted my documents. We were lucky to have Tharindu Ellepola advising us with calm and pragmatic advice.”

“Temple Gate Solicitors provided a great service to me and my husband. They provided me with complete advice and assistance in applying for a Tier 4 Dependant visa under the PBS system. I was given accurate advice on the documents and evidence required, and they completed all applications and statements for us. Communication was easy and I felt assured at every stage.”

“When I first came to Temple Gate, I didn't have much confidence of my chances given how complicated my case was. However, they set out a short-term plan to secure my stay while showing me how this could lead to indefinite leave in the long term. What I appreciated most was the clear, precise advice and the methodical approach they took.”

“I instructed Temple Gate Solicitors to help prepare a visit visa for my parents to come and stay with me for a few months from India. They made the process so easy to understand and took care of absolutely everything. They took the stress out of the entire process and were helpful every step of the way.”

“I instructed them in regards to a refusal of a Tier 1 visa. From the very first call they left me confident as to my chances of getting things turned around. They came up with a detailed strategy to move forward and explained each stage to me. More than happy to recommend them.”
