 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve had a really positive experience with Cromwell Wilkes. They helped us obtain our sponsorship license and process Skilled Worker visas for a couple of our employees, and we couldn’t be happier with the service we received. The team has always been incredibly prompt, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process. They made what could have been a complicated process feel much more straightforward, and we’ve always felt that we were in safe hands. I would definitely recommend Richard and his team to other businesses looking for support with sponsorship and immigration matters.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Cromwell Wilkes during my entire visa journey.  These visas included my fiance visa, 2 residency visas, and Indefinite Leave to Remain.  All these applications were successful and we highly recommend them for anyone needing these services. We worked with Richard Roberts, Jessica Bishop and Christine Bacon and always felt like we were more than just billable hours.  They cared about us as people and wanted the process to be successful. They were always available for meetings and took a lot of time to explain processes, impacts and consequences. I’m sure it’s always stressful to go through immigration processes, but this firm, and these wonderful people, made it work in the most efficient and least stressful manner possible. I highly recommend you choose them for your immigration needs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had to find an experienced Sports Law legal representative to help me with a terrible situation I found myself in. After many initial contacts with other firms, I had received a very warm and understanding reply from Richard Roberts of Cromwell Wilkes and the Sports Law Team. I immediately felt more comfortable and confident that these guys would look after my best interests. I opted for a face to face initial meeting to explain the situation and decided that I had made the right choice, as Richard Roberts and his team took great care in extracting relevant information and I felt that they were already battling on my behalf, despite not even leaving the offices! I faced a serious situation with the National Governing Body of my sport, which if I’m honest would have ended my career in sport and coaching. Richard unraveled everything and saw a number of flaws in the NGB and played a chess like strategy to turn around a sanction that had been imposed, and essentially saved my life. Richard proposed a pathway that filled the NGB with confidence and proved the previous sanctions were wrong. The team got the sanctions lifted and also managed to get me a number of aftercare support sessions from the NGB as it had taken an extreme toll on my mental health. Throughout, the Sports Law Team, especially Richard Roberts, who in my opinion is an amazing lawyer, treated me with respect, care and humility, with tonnes of patience, saw me as a human being needing help rather than just a customer. His attention to detail and background work is an amazing forensic advocate,  surprised me no end and is I’m sure one of the reasons we won our case! I can’t thank Richard and the team at Cromwell Wilkes enough for the help, support and dedication that’s been given to me on my case. You really don’t know how much you saved me.
