Independent Client Feedback
The following feedback is reproduced verbatim from independent third-party platforms where Haq Nawaz is explicitly named:
“I found Sabz online & reference checked through customer reviews. My immigration journey started in 2019 & my first contact was Mr Haq Nawaz. He’s a really experienced solicitor, not only did he provide professional advice & assistance, but his reassurance also gave me the confidence to hope for a successful application. And we made it. I then had my visa renewed in 2022 & very recently I got my ILR (permanent residence) settlement. All three of my applications were handled by Sabz & all three were well taken care of by professional service.”
“I had an excellent experience with Mr Haq and his team regarding my CoS application and visa renewal.”
“Throughout our experience with SABZ Solicitors, from the beginning with Leave to Enter, renewal Leave to Remain, and finally Indefinite Leave to Remain, the advice and support have always been very professional and friendly. I can highly recommend Haq, who has been our contact from the beginning.
