Recommendation of Zoe Bantleman
We hired Zoe Bantleman at relatively short notice to appear at the Upper Tribunal.
Apart from achieving the desired result, Zoe demonstrated the finest combination of marshalling information and advocacy which we have ever witnessed.
The opposing advocate clearly had no riposte to her.
We would recommend Zoe fulsomely and without hesitation to any Instructing Solicitor
Highly Recommended
I am so glad that I chose Richmond chambers. Emma Greenwood was very professional and helpful throughout the process. I would highly recommend Emma if your case is difficult because her attention to the detail is superb.
On behalf of my family I would like to…
On behalf of my family I would like to express my gratitude to Alexandra Pease and her colleagues at Richmond Chambers.
I am very grateful for all the hard work they did on our immigration case. I will always be thankful for all the time and efforts to get the best possible outcome for me and my family.
You cannot imagine how much your passion impacts the lives of others in the most positive way.
Every step of the case was explained with patience and friendliness that makes you relax and calm in any complicated situation.
My family and I can’t thank you all enough for your dedication to immigration law.
A pleasure to be a client of this firm
What a pleasure it was to work with them on my family matter! This is an extremely professional firm which makes its clients its biggest priority via its great staff. I had the pleasure of having Geri Peterson to work with on the case and she was so helpful and knowledgeable, and worked with me every bit of the way. And all along with her having great humour to boot, her advice on actions to follow proved to be golden. I recommend this firm very strongly for advice around and further work on any immigration issue(s).
Comment for Zoe Bantleman
I feel deeply impressed with one of the barrister at Richmond Chambers Immigration Barristers, which is Zoe Bantleman, who helped me get my migrant visa in an extraordinarily smooth way. I highly appreciate her prompt actions,enthusiasm, her level of being detail-minded and systematic way of working. She is truly an invaluable asset to the legal sector.
Meticulous & Professional
Alexandra Pease and her colleagues at Richmond Chambers were the definition of meticulous with a great deal of attention to the smallest details. Our communications were professional and smooth and they were always available to answer our questions. Although my application for a settlement visa was quite complex, they helped us to cover all the bases and send a fail-proof case to the Home Office.
The best possible service
For the second time, Richmond Chambers simply deliver. We worked with Emma Greenwood and were impressed with her professional, committed, forthcoming work. Her knowledge and work is to the highest standard possible while still being approachable.
A process which could potentially cause anxiety became smooth and calm. I recommend this service in the strongest of terms, and will be using their services in the future.
My case involved an application for…permanent residency and then a naturalisation application
My case involved an application for permanent residency and then a naturalisation application. Both were successful. My case for residency was complex and we would never have been able to successfully navigate the complex arguments by ourselves. We are extremely grateful to Catherine Taroni as our barrister. The case preparation was not fast, but it was extremely thorough. In my case having a lawyer with an outstanding understanding of immigration law was key. I am now a very happy British citizen, whereas had we not gone to Richmond I would not even have permanent resident rights in the UK.
Amazing service, so professional and detail oriented
Dr. Catherine Taroni is so nice, patient and professional. My application was smooth and successful with her great assistance, couldn’t achieved that without her. Big thank you to Dr. Catherine!
Highly recommended
Absolutely outstanding service by an excellent firm. Firstly, my wife and I would like to thank Ms Zarina Rahman for handling my immigration case. We could not be happier with the service, the result, and the general experience from start to finish. Ms Rahman and her colleagues at Richmond Chambers were very thorough and attentive guides, making a potential stressful and confusing process very straightforward and comfortable. Thanks to their services and attention to detail, both applications received decisions much quicker than we had anticipated. We highly recommend Richmond Chambers for legal help in Immigration matters.
Best Immigration Barristers in the UK !
It is my great pleasure to write few words about the excellent service I received from Richmond Chambers. My case was dealt by the finest Barrister of Richmond Chambers Ms Emma Greenwood. She is very thorough person and identify the real issue with initial consultation. Then throughout she doesn’t loose focus as well as keeps client in the loops. I have no doubt to recommend her with 100% satisfaction. I am grateful to Ms Emma for all the efforts she put in my case and that resulted in my settlement. A great barrister with excellent work.
Many thanks

Best Barristers in the market.. for sure..
Words can't describe how happy and relieved me and my wife were, when Ms Alexandra Pease, called us and told us the good news. We were both crying. Tears of joy. The news that we have been waiting for years, trying different solicitors till we made the right choice, when it really matters. My application for a 7 years old child born in UK was refused and I had right to appeal. I was shocked and speechless, on how the best interests of my child is that he should return back with his parents country of origin. Not to mention I did submit an Independent Social worker report as well. I then did some research online and booked an appointment with Ms Alexandra Pease. I collected all my documents from my previous solicitors and met her and Mr Alex Papasotiriou on a Tuesday. She agreed to deal with my appeal and said it should be submitted by this Friday. For the first time I had a positive feeling that yes I made the right choice, and my wife agreed as well. All fees involved were discussed, and we agreed on a fixed amount. The preparation and enormous input from Ms Alexandra Pease and Mr Alex Papasotiriou as well as Miss Georgina Griggs, were expertly done. Mr Alex Papasotiriou was present in the Tribunal and his expertise paid off as well. Ms Georgina Griggs as well was present. He was calm and supported us throughout the day. Sincerely speaking, the fees I paid were fully justified at the end, as the meticulous attention to details by Ms Georgina Griggs, the preparation of witness statements, and much more (too many to mention) eventually paid off and our Appeal was allowed by the Honorable Judge. Ms Georgina Griggs checked all statements and made sure all were factual and no inaccuracies. I was lucky. I had 2 Barristers, Ms Alexandra Pease and Mr Alex Papasotiriou, and one pupil Barrister, Ms Georgina Griggs, combining ideas together for my case. Finally, I would like to end this review with an analogy: just imagine, someone very close to you has to do a heart operation, who would you choose to do the surgery; a newly-qualified doctor? or a Consultant with years of expertise? Similarly, I choose Ms Alexandra Pease of Richmond Barristers, and I am very happy to say that I made the right choice. Thank you.
Undoubtedly the best immigration firm…
Undoubtedly the best immigration firm in London. My case was dealt by Dr Catherine Taroni who is a senior phd barrister at Richmond chambers. She knows all the immigration laws by heart and she is very knowledgeable and experienced personnel. I got ILR in no time all thanks to her and Richmond chambers. They are the best. So forget the rest.
They are the best!!!
We have got our ILR for whole family and also had tier 1 extensions through Paul at Richmond Chambers. We were worried at some point but Paul and team were calm as they knew what they were doing. I would recommend anyone to avail Richmond Chambers services for peace of mind. Once they are appointed, all you need is Sit back and relax!!!
appeal won!!!!
I came to Richmond Chambers exactly one year ago. This time last year in January 2018 I had recieved a very unfair refusal from home office which was also certified(right to appeal decision only from outside Uk). I was hopeless, upset when I approached Richmond Chambers. I met with Dr Taroni who met me for consultation and immediately told me there was no need to worry. With use of legal case laws and her legal knowledge she designed a plan for us to tackle my problem. We went through many legal steps to finally get incountry appeal right. As I write, I have just come out from court hearing of my appeal with a positive outcome that took less than 20minutes for the judge to conclude.
I highly recommend Richmond Chambers. I have my life back now and so excited for my future. It has taken alot of hard work and dedication from my barrister on my case for us to reach this point often working through late at night on document submissions.
I am so grateful to Dr Taroni and everyone else in the chambers who were involved in my case. Each of whom is so knowledgeable, friendly and very much dedicated to their work whole heartedly and genuinely care about your case.
Thankyou and god bless
Excellent service
I am very about their professional service.
Specially I would like to give a big Thanks from bottom of my heart to Alexander Pease who helped and asisst my case in careful way. Without Alex we wouldn't win in the court.###

Actress in London
I was working in the U.K. as an actress on and off but experiencing increasing difficulty at the border as my applications for entry were so variable; I was nervous as a result, and confused about how to deal with Immigration. Geraldine Peterson, my barrister at Richmond Chambers was my savior! And guiding light: She and her wonderful assistant Stephanie helped with all the documents and instruction I needed to secure my safe and continued passage. Ms Peterson was also a friend, always available, and consistently reassuring me that I would be able to fulfill my vocational and professional aspirations here in London as long as I adhered to the guidelines she outlined for me-
In my opinion, Richmond Chambers is THE law office to turn to; They recieve all my gratitude and my highest praise..
I would highly recommend Richmond…
I would highly recommend Richmond Chambers to all who have any immigration enquiries. My case was complicated but thanks to Catherine and her team my application was processed swiftly, although at times it got stressful, I trusted Richmond Chambers from the start.
