TESTIMONIALS

'Running an international event such as the Brisbane Street Art Festival demands an intricate combination of artistic passion, logistic management, and, of course, dealing with legalities associated with immigration laws. Our festival, which draws talent from all over the globe, presented a unique set of challenges in terms of handling visa applications for our international artists. This is where the invaluable expertise of Richard has truly made a difference.' Lincoln S.

'Some time ago I ended up being without a visa for a few months. I thought I was out of options and was about to go home. Going home would have been really bad for me for health reasons. I was able to get a visa with Richard's help and now my studies and health are back on track. Thank you.'

'I had a really difficult case where I was claiming persecution claims around my sexuality and gender identity. My previous lawyer told me I couldn't succeed and just to marry someone . I saw Richard and now I have a permanent protection visa.  He was great and most of all very compassionate and understanding. More than OK to refer and have done so for many people in my community already.'
