Great Reviews From Our Clients Regarding Our British Citizenship Solicitors
“My husband and I are both American-trained lawyers who have lived and worked in the UK for many years. Recently, we decided to apply for British citizenship. Since we are not immigration specialists, we needed to find a law firm that specialises in immigration law. After interviewing several law firms, we had an initial consultation with IMD Solicitors and were impressed with their professional approach and their commitment to provide first-class service for a fixed price.
…We believe that the astonishingly fast approval of our request for citizenship was directly attributable to the preparation of our applications by IMD Solicitors.
We would highly recommend IMD Solicitors to any individual who is seeking British Citizenship.”
