Cassandra Hyler
5/5
My lawyer at Sutton Law was a complete godsend throughout the entire process of my LTB difficulties. He was able to collaborate with the other teams representation while ensuring my best interests were always top priority. He walked me through the entire process and was always available to answer questions and help me through the problem. He even went to court to represent me that day so I wouldn’t miss work and stayed there until he heard direct from the judges mouth that my name was cleared.
Mr Alex is a very experienced, competent and knowledgeable lawyer. I highly recommend him for any immigration issue. He initiated a mandamus for the delay of my application for Permanent Residency and I received my PPR within a week after starting the process. Thank you so much for everything.
