Testimonials
I would like to thank John for his easy professional approach and of course the favourable outcome. It took 2 and a half years without John’s help and less than 6 months once John was involved. I was amused and reassured with his reaction to one of my panic moments – “calm down, don’t worry – that’s what you pay me to do!“. Classic, top man. Thank you John.
Mr. & Mrs. B, Exeter

Mrs T, Plymouth
Very satisfied with your service. We were advised that as she had already been refused entry to the UK 3 times and received a 10 year ban it was unlikely that the appeal would be successful, however the application was successful. You provided a very professional and effective service :

The result of my case was better than I expected and I was allowed to come back to England to join my husband; without your efficiency, I wouldn’t have been able to. Your service has been very efficient and you did a very good job for me.

Mr M. Honiton, Devon
To the man and company that gave my husband and I hope and reminded us that there can be a brighter tomorrow. By the time we were introduced to John, we were close to giving up as we had applied various times and got denied. John made us feel so comfortable, so at home. For us, the process would seem unachievable far fetched to say the least but the confidence that he gave my husband and I after the first conversation gave us a peace of mind. He systematically explained the whole process which encouraged us to try again and use him as our solicitor. The fluidity of his work is great. It was like drinking a cup of tea as you wait for a great reward. The professionalism showed to us by John Atkins is still and was exceptional. We are so very glad that we got to interact with you during this process and hope that another family, couple, person can benefit from your work as we did. Thank you so very much for give my husband and I hope and a new beginning. Thank you.

Just a quick email to extend you the appropriate thanks for your extremely useful advice with regards to getting married on a tourist Visa, and for the additional information which you have included on EEA regulations. Everything is in the pipeline, and we get married in Exeter on 22 September. This would not have been possible without your advice.
Mr B. Exeter
Very approachable and friendly. Adapted to our unusual situation. Answered all our questions (at the time and via phone and e-mail after) and removed the 1 hour time pressure. Very helpful. Prompt responses to questions. It can be difficult to interpret legislation but you were clear with what was stated and what was interpretation.

You were very sure and confident of the result from the outset. Your courtesy and kindness are unparalleled.
LL Exeter
Thank you for sending through the notes on our meeting. I sincerely appreciate how carefully you’ve considered our case, and the clarity with which you have explained our next steps. I feel, for the first time, that we have hope of being able to care for our parents properly in the near future.
Please could you send me your bank details so that we can transfer the fees for the initial meeting to you. Once we have gathered the evidence discussed I would like to make further fixed fee arrangements so that, as we approach the completion of the applications in the next year, we can ensure that we have met all the requirements legally.
Thank you again for your exceptional service and advice!
