My family have been clients of Arona for many years and we simply cannot recommend her services highly enough. Arona and Danisha have successfully assisted us with the most complex UK immigration process. Their knowledge and ability to achieve positive results is second to none. Thank you! Ilya

Laila Mahen of Arona St. James SolicitorsWe're so impressed by your ability to handle our immigration matter with efficiency and professionalism. Your work was exceptional. You went above and beyond, and your attention to detail really shows in the final result. We just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate your expertise. Your knowledge and experience have been invaluable to us, and we're grateful for your service.Andrew & Abidemi.

I honestly cant think of a better solicitor than Arona. At a time of fear where the UK Government was really turning away or denying many asylum, cases, Arona put her best foot forward for us, leading to a win in record time of slightly less than 2 years from when we applied to approval with various other milestones such as getting us a right to work after year 1 of a pending application. Arona always told us I will fight and fight until we get a win because you must be protected". Not only was she extremely professional

This legal team was wonderful to work with and helped us get through an expedited dependent visa process from Serbia within 5 working days! Would definitely recommend to anybody who needs immigration law help.

Gillian was very professional and meretricious when dealing with my mums estate after she passed away. She was helpful and engaging throughout get my tax done to 0 in no time for spending time and looking at allowances both current and historical, in a couple of weeks the probate was completed - thank you to Arona St James solicitors for all their help and advice during this difficult time..Imdiaz Mohammad...

Update on this case below in 2023 and Finally I have received my British Citizenship, one will think that it will be an easy process, as I did try and do this myself, but due to previous immigration history, I got refused, however Arona contacted out of the blue, as she had previously helped me with my asylum case. She had monitored the changes with home office and was able to know the case in her files, which such changes will impact. It is a no brainer what the outcome will be, as I have just received my British Citizenship. I will definitely recommend this service and any case, Arona cannot handle, that means no solicitor in the UK, will be able to handle that case. This firm the best around and they have guided me, to end of my journey with immigrationI found out about Arona St James through the stonewall website. This was the time I was in a very critical situation, where I have almost exhausted all options with another law firm that was recommended by THT and I have been battling immigration for over 4 years.When I walked into Arona's office and showed her all my paperwork, both replies from the Home Office and the court rejections. She was dismayed with the work my previous immigration solicitors have put in my work.My previous immigration lawyer always told me that I will get thrown in detention once I applied for Asylum and the possibility for the Home office granting me stay is very low, and the only hope I have is through the courts.However with Arona, she takes every case, I mean every as one of her own. She spends days and night on your paper work. Does not take much work load (client cases), hence giving paramount attention to each individual case. She has a team of lawyers that discuss over your case, hence identifying the pros and cons and the best course of action. You will feel so happy when you know that a lawyer is putting much effort in your case that yourself. She gives the best advice and will always stick with you, till the case have been won. Many clients go to her when their case have almost been exhausted, which I think should not be the case, but even at this she still has a 99% win record, in fact does not take up your case, if she knows that she cannot win it.I won my case, which I have been battling for over 4 years with different law firms, at one attempt with Arona, not through the courts but at first sitting with the Home Office. I did not go to detention , because she made my case so strong and the truth was magnified. I recommended her to another friend of mine who has been in a similar situation as me, she once again, smashed his case.Winning your case is not the end point with the firm, because they keep in touch with you, in some way, making sure that you sucessfully integrate into the society, and are always there for any client.I highly recommend this law firm, I see no flaws in their system. I am not used to writing recommendation or even youtube comments but because of how confident I feel about this, and how they saved my case and made it looked so easy, I just had to write this and hopefully, this will help someone that will read my story.

I had the pleasure of meeting Laila at Arona St James Solicitors back in January when I visited their office to inquire about a spousal visa for my husband. From the very beginning, Laila impressed me with her professionalism and knowledge. She explained her role in the process and provided me with the necessary information regarding the costs involved.After our initial conversation with Laila, we were scheduled for a consultation with Arona herself. It was during this meeting that we discussed the complexities of our case, especially considering that my husband had been refused a visitors visa twice before. Despite the challenges, Arona offered us sound and honest advice, which immediately put us at ease.Feeling confident and comfortable with the expertise of Arona and her team, we decided to proceed with Arona St James Solicitors for our spousal visa application. Laila took charge of the process, and we submitted all the required documents and payments in mid-April.Today, on the 17th of July 2023, we received the fantastic news that our spousal visa has been accepted! We are absolutely overjoyed and immensely grateful to Laila and Arona St James Solicitors. Their dedication, attention to detail, and hard work made this dream a reality for us.Throughout the entire process, Laila demonstrated professionalism, efficiency, and exceptional communication. Her guidance and support were invaluable, and she kept us informed every step of the way. We could not have asked for a better experience, and we owe our successful visa application to Laila's efforts.I highly recommend Arona St James Solicitors for their immigration services, and especially commend Laila for her outstanding work. If you are seeking expert immigration advice and a team that genuinely cares about your case, look no further than Arona St James Solicitors. They have helped us achieve a significant milestone in our lives, and we are eternally grateful.Thank you, Laila, for making our dream come true!

I would like to say a huge thank you to Arona and Danisha for being a great professional solicitor. I am grateful and I would highly recommend. They were responsive and attentive to any queries I had.My case was complex , however it went really well. I went for biometric at 11 :15and I received a call from Arona that I had been granted at 16.00 at the same day.I could not believe that I have been granted in a matter of 4 hours.Well done to Arona and her team.Highly recommended them.Eduart

Incredible legal team, Arona is a miracle worker. She helped me deal with a very complicated asylum seeker's case. I've never seen a case go so smoothly and quickly and I deal with a lot of refugees. Her knowledge around the immigration system and her contacts at the home office are astounding, highly recommend her

Just successfully completed a Marriage Visitor visa. It's a very challenging, arduous and complex process. Trying to interpret what is required is difficult. I made a few mistakes and omissions. I'm sure I would not have been able to do this without Laila's direction,support and overview of the entire process. It was very helpful that she was avaliable to answer my telephone calls and make immediate replies to my email questions. I'm very happy with the service provided. So I shall continue with Arona St.James and engage Laila with the next stage of the process.
