The promise behind every case we take
We are selective on purpose. It is what lets us stand behind the cases we do take on.
We only take cases we believe in
We turn down cases we do not believe in. If we take yours on, it is because our assessment says it has real merit.
If we act, we are confident
When we agree to represent you, that is our considered judgement of your case, not a sales pitch.
Refused? We take your appeal without charging our fees again
If an application we prepared is refused and you have a right of appeal, we run the appeal without charging our fees again. Tribunal fees are payable separately.
We set the guarantee out in writing in your client care letter before you instruct us, so there is nothing to read between the lines.
Meet the people behind your case
Every case is run by a named member of our team you can reach directly, under the supervision of our Legal Director. Led by a practising barrister. Real people, not a call centre.
Client reviews
We are proud of the relationships we build with our clients.
I had a fantastic experience working with Christine. She was extremely professional, responsible, and supportive throughout the entire process. Christine made everything clear and stress-free, and I always felt confident knowing my case was in such capable hands. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of expert legal support.
We've had a really positive experience with Cromwell Wilkes. They helped us obtain our sponsorship license and process everything efficiently. The team was professional, responsive, and guided us through each step clearly. Would highly recommend.
I cannot recommend Christine highly enough. I am extremely grateful for all her help and support throughout my visa application. She was professional, thorough, and always available to answer my questions. Thanks to her dedication, my application was successful.
Excellent service from Cromwell Wilkes. Very professional and dedicated team.
Cromwell and Wilkes successfully helped me obtain my partner visa on the first attempt without any hiccups. Lucy was phenomenal, exceptionally professional, helpful, and prompt in all matters.
I had an excellent experience working with Cromwell Wilkes on our visa process. Richard and William were absolutely phenomenal, professional, efficient, and incredibly responsive throughout the entire journey. They answered all our questions quickly and clearly, which made everything feel smooth and stress-free. The whole process was handled with care and attention to detail. We are truly grateful for their support.
Christine Bacon was the lawyer I retained from Cromwell Wilkes when making my visa application. She was warm and friendly, never over-promised but through her consistent communication and thorough guidance I had every bit of confidence in her handling my case. Her handling of my case was very professional however her advice was priceless. I have every bit of belief that for any cases she takes on she will do her best in the interest of her clients. She can work with tight visa deadlines, complicated cases and has a good understanding of UK Immigration laws and its ongoing changes. My application was submitted in just about a week (with a successful outcome) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Cromwell Wilkes made our immigration journey so much smoother than we could have imagined. Jessica Bishop expertly guided us through the fiancé visa process with clarity and care, and later, Christine Bacon helped us secure the spouse visa with the same high level of professionalism and support. Both were incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely compassionate. We always felt in safe hands. If you need immigration help, I highly recommend them.
Lucy is so lovely, she is the best immigrant lawyer I have ever worked with, highly recommended!
Incredible service highly recommend!!!! Christine is amazing. Very supportive, patient and understanding. after many struggles with another firm, Christine was able to get my children an approved application for British citizenship registration. Forever grateful.
We had very good success with our application with many thanks to Jessica. When our crunchtime came, Jessica was very organised and gave her time to us. Our family distress was much less thanks to Jessica and Richard, and I recommend them highly to everyone.
I have been a client of Richard and Jessica since 2019 and have seen them work hard and with sincerity for not just me but all their clients. We had a very complicated immigration case and from the beginning Richard gave us a clear picture about what to expect. He never gave us any false hopes and was always very realistic about our case’s outcome. There were times when we felt we’ve lost but Richard always said “I’m not going to stop fighting for you”. They stood by us through thick and thin and finally we won. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for good lawyers, who genuinely care for their clients best interest. I thank Richard and Jessica for all their help and support and for being patient with us. I am so grateful to have met such wonderful lawyers who are now our friends for life
