    I don’t know how to thank Mr.Usman enough or even close to what he has done to me with my immigration matter. I am an NHS doctor whose trust did not issue my CoS on time , and I went into a legal dilemma but it only took me to find this extraordinarily skilled solicitor and unbelievably humane and kind person who provided me with all necessary advice and was able to comprehend the story with all its implications shortly after I started speaking , which gives you a clue of how experienced he must be, and took charge of my case from single tiny details to providing a strong cover letter and following status afterwards. What is striking and special about Mr.Usman is that he is not only a very exceptionally talented solicitor but he is so humble and treats his clients with utmost respect and kindness, never failing to return a call or message , and acting actively to ask for details and ensure the emotional well-being of his clients throughout the entire case. What he has done to me is beyond description and I really can’t imagine there exists such a BRILLIANT person and solicitor like Mr.Usman!!! I really recommend him for anyone going through any immigration issues and they can thank me later!
