Nong P - Joondalup WA
My wife used this firm to assist her in obtaining Australian Citizenship. Hamish Glenister is extremely knowledgeable especially in the Immigration Law field and was always promptly available when we needed to contact him. They made the whole process much less stressful than it would have been and my wife is looking forward to taking her oath of allegiance on 26th January 2022. A great outcome in very good time thanks to Hamish and his professional team; the fees were very reasonable also and it was well worth it. We can thoroughly recommend this firm for immigration law assistance
Mike W - South Perth WA
My partner and I had a very big issue to do with our Australian Immigration Partner Visa which was pretty much going to be refused, we were so, so stressed until we hired Hamish as our Lawyer who went above and beyond to help us, always replied to my emails and took a lot of the stress away from us because he gave us hope that there was a good chance we can fix it. Today our visa was granted thanks to William Gerard Legal
