 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I want to keep it simple. James Kopitko at Barar & Associates was extremely helpful, can not recommend him enough. Visa applications tend to make people nevous, certainly made me nervous. Being nervous and curious I called James so many times. James picked up the phone every time and responded to each of my queries in detail. Thats all you need really, some kindness and a word of reassurance from someone experienced.
I dont think I have ever left a review in my life, I really felt the urge to this time. Says alot.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience with Barar and Associates.

They helped us with a Partner Visa application process which was quite complex and required a lot of information and careful preparation.

Mariam Touray was our contact and she was so responsive and helpful.

Definitely recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Barar & Associates enthusiastically enough as they helped us navigate a FLR(M) application process (within-country) that turned out to be more complex and drawn out than we could have anticipated, stretching from midyear till today.  At every stage of this protracted process, the team at Barar demonstrated warmth, professionalism and genuine care.  I would be remiss if I did not single out Pam Barar, James Kopitko and Mariam Touray for their consistent reassurances and capacity to calmly guide us in negotiating every request for further information from the Home Office, as well as communicating what their honest assessment of the evolving process was at each stage in language intelligible to those of us outside the legal fraternity.  What stood out most to us was the "family feel" they brought to the experience, which made their support tangible such that we were not reduced to an inanimate case file.  Their steadiness helped us stay grounded in what turned out to be a fairly draining process and their expertise ensured that each response we submitted was clear, concise and complete, meeting the exact query of the HO.  Barar Associates made what turned out to be an overwhelming process navigable for us and for that we are deeply grateful!  We will certainly be using them again and recommending them to all our associates and friends.

 Verified We had the pleasure of working with Barar & Associates Ltd on our immigration and dependent case, and we highly recommend their services. From the start, Pam Barar, Yasmeen Joshi, and James Kopitko showed a deep understanding of immigration law and provided clear, helpful advice throughout the process.

What really impressed us was their professionalism and dedication. They were always quick to respond to our questions and took the time to explain every step in detail, making what could have been a stressful experience much easier and more reassuring.

We’re really grateful for their hard work and would confidently recommend their services to anyone in need of expert immigration help.

 Verified Asking assistance from Barar & Associates for my skilled visa application was indeed the right choice. Especially to Mariam Touray, who worked everything to have a smooth process until the very end. From being responsive to being informative of the necessary documents, process flow, and application updates. Yasmeen was also there to support Mariam during her leave. I believe the firm itself is very knowledgeable and professionally organized. I’m very satisfied with the services provided during the entire application process so definitely I would highly recommend the firm to my connections.

 Verified I engaged with Barar & Associates for a consultation and subsequent progression of a naturalisation application. I initially spoke to James Kopitco who was friendly, very knowledgeable and clear in articulating the legal options available and in his recommendation. I subsequently dealt with Mariam Touray, who was very thorough in ensuring that I supplied all the correct documentation and evidence required to support my application. 

This is my second engagement with Barar & Associates and I am definitely happy with their service and would highly recommend them to others in my network!
