"MY APPRECITATION

 

"Mr Glen is an efficient exemplary barrister I have ever known who pays attention to detail. He does his work with great passion and commitment without lacking a touch of excellence in his work. Meeting him is the best thing that ever happened to me in the UK at the time of my immigration muddle. He was able to simplify our complicated immigration case to a feasible case backed up by relevant case law and convincing evidence. His submission and argument at the Tribunal has worked  out in our favour. He is indeed a gem to be treasured.

 

Words cannot express how happy and joyful we were received my appeal allowed letter. It was a Great News letter. Our joy moves from fullness to overflowing joy. Mr. Glen has made a positive historic news on our case. My entire family, friends and including our local MP, is very pleased   with everything he has done. We are extremely grateful.

 

Well done barrister Glen. You are highly appreciated. It's only God that can reward you for your selfless efforts and dedication towards our immigration matter.

 

May the good Lord bless and reward Mr Glen Hodgetts and his family forever."

 

AA (16th January 2017)

 

 

"No amount of words can convey the gratitude and appreciation I feel for choosing you to stand by me and fight my case. I genuinely believe that if you take on a case you put your whole and soul into it for your clients. I appreciate all the long hours and hard work you have put in for me and the determination with which you handled my case. Your selfless work has always been a beacon of good hope and the light at the end of the tunnel for me and I am genuinely thankful for giving me hope when none was available and bringing me out when I was helpless. Thank you for taking me out my current situation.

I would, without a shadow of doubt, give you 5 stars and highly recommend your services to any person seeking help in legal matters. I'm of the strong belief that if Glen takes on your case he will not rest till justice has been served and you are entirely satisfied with the outcome" ( AM, 22nd March 2017)
