 CLIENT ENDORSEMENTS

1. I wish I had known about ILA earlier; they are absolutely fantastic, they are helpful, knowledgeable and professional. I felt they were as though they are genuinely concerned for my application.

2. Thanks to the persistence of Jay we received a successful outcome with my immigration application. The service we received was excellent, we felt like part of a family and we love New Zealand; there is far less stress here.

3. Migrating under the general skills category was very flexible. I have recommended ILA to several parties, 3 of which have successfully migrated to NZ where there is more opportunity to enjoy life.

4. After all the immigration lawyers we contacted over the years, you were the only person who told us about the 35A. Some of the other lawyers we contacted were more interested in charging vast sums of money. We feel you are totally trustworthy and are an asset to your profession. We will always be most grateful for the help you gave us in obtaining firstly my work permit and putting everything in order to obtain residency ".

6. "Thank you so very much for all your hard work with our immigration. Your dedication to our case was commendable; your perseverance and patience amazing. Without your support and kindness throughout I am sure that we would not have had the energy to pursue our application to its conclusion."
