Meet our team

One aspect of this vision was the development of the Bridge Project, WLW’s own not-for-profit arm. The Bridge Project aims to ‘bridge the gap’ between community legal services, which are under strain, and full-fee legal services.

Veenasa bissessur

I will potentially never be able to recommend them enough! James overlooked my case while Nisha put her soul into the case. We received our good news under 1 month after lodgement! Nisha remained a great example of professionalism and punctuality in her work. The whole experience has been positive! Shout out to the whole firm and for going above and beyond to genuine help. Forever grateful 🙏

Response from the owner: Dear VeenasaThank you for your lovely review and congratulations again on the wonderful result! Kind regardsWLW Migration Lawyers

Konstantina Pantoti

If I Could put more stars to WLW Lawyers I would have done it. Back in 2016, someone gave me James contact details to help me with my husbands Visa which was a bit challenging. WLW lawyers team with their knowledge and guidance help us to get his partner visa. Last year my husband applied for his citizenship and they rejected him because they weren’t satisfied with what we provided. So we applied again but before we lodge all the documents we asked help from WLW lawyers, we lodge all paperwork and 10 days after my husband got his citizenship approval. They are professional, helpful and know what they are doing.

Response from the owner: Dear Konstantina,Thank you for your lovely review - we're so glad that you could help you to achieve such a great result! Kind regardsWLW Migration Lawyers

Annie Wooldridge

I had a 10 min free consultation with Simon today. It was a brilliant experience.At no point did I feel like he was wasting time or trying to get me to book a further, paid consultation. He listened and understood me very clearly and came back with clear advice based on my questions without trying to pressure me into any further discussion or consultations. He even called me back to clarify something we both weren't sure on.I have had very different experiences with other agencies and definitely recommend for a honest, actual free 10 min useful consultation!

Response from the owner: Dear Annie, Thank you for your kind feedback, we're so happy that you found our free 10 minute call useful! Kind regardsWLW Migration Lawyers
