Testimonials
At the end of January 2019 I engaged the services of Raffin Attorneys to assist me in obtaining British Passports for my two daughters.
Gillian’s service was friendly, approachable and highly professional. She led me through the process and ensured that all the necessary documentation was obtained.
I received the passports the first week of April. The turnaround time was superb, and I cannot recommend Gillian Raffin highly enough. I would encourage anyone requiring her services engage her.
We acquired the services of Gillian through word of mouth. Since day one we could see why Gillian has the reputation we were told all about. We were trying to acquire a fiancé visa and through a tough and emotional time Gillian remained calm and tried her best to put our minds at ease.
Whilst making sure everything is organised for our application Gillian was always available to talk to. Believe me after dealing with UK firms this is rare and very refreshing.
Even though I was 6000 miles away Gillian was a lot closer in dealing with our case than the firms we used in the UK.
I would strongly recommend Gillian to anyone. My view of law firms has totally changed thanks to Gillian alone.
The visa was granted and thanks to the help of Gillian me and my fiancé are now reunited and can live a happy life together.
A family holiday which would have seen my siblings, mom, my son and I on the same continent for the first time in almost ten years was left in tatters when our visas (mine and my son’s) were refused.
I got hold of Gillian via a mutual contact, and after being briefed on the situation, Gill took control of things immediately. Applications were resubmitted with the minimum of fuss and the necessary supporting documents, and the process was restarted – we had a tight deadline.
I was kept informed throughout the process, and our visas came through within two weeks. I have no doubt that without Gillian’s guidance, our visas would have been declined for a second time. I have subsequently made her the go-to person for friends who may find themselves in a similar situation!
Luca and I were very grateful.
Absolutely fantastic service helpful throughout from start to finish. Gillian knows exactly what she is doing and I never doubted her for one minute. We did a settlement visa application and got it back very quickly.
We were very pleased with the outcome and we recommend her service to anyone we know. Now that we have moved over to the UK and met up with other South Africans they have also used Gillian and were pleased with their outcomes.
Thank you Gillian you are a star.
I qualified for a UK Ancestral Visa and thought it would be close to impossible to get my partner to join me in the UK through a Spousal Visa, as we are not married.
Gillian was kind enough to work with us and made the entire application process – from the very first requirement down to the final visa appointment, such a breeze.
Both my partner and I strongly believe that without the help of Gillian we would never have been granted our visas. It was an absolute pleasure working with her and highly recommend her.
“Once my wife and I had made the big decision to immigrate to the UK, the one aspect that was of most concern was how to apply for a visa for her and if it would be approved.
With the help of Gillian something that could have been very complicated and stressful ended up being the most simple thing about the whole move.
Gillian was always ready to answers questions be it by email, phone call or face to face, explained the whole process and assisted from start to finish. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that is immigrating”
