“I will never forget your so much patience with me…you are always my amazing solicitor. The BEST one in the UK.”
"Hi Jo, I understand that for the moment our relationship stops but I'll be sure to bring you some amazing coffee once I travel back to Venezuela, hopefully before the end of the year.
I can't express in words how happy and satisfied I am with you and your straight forward help through this process. Thank you sincerely."
"As an international student in the UK, I was going through a very tough time when I lost my BRP and needed to travel to India for a family medical emergency. I called Turpin and Miller LLP on the advice of one of my professors. I simply filled in the contact form, explaining my circumstances and Mr. Philip Turpin called me the next day and provided comprehensive advice and guidance. His advice ultimately helped me get my BRP much sooner than the usual wait time, and I was able to travel. I am so grateful as they went out of their way to help me out of a very difficult situation."
"Katherine provided me a barrister which she represented me in the court, the barrister was so smart & brilliant I’ve never seen a young lady as smart as her, she left me in tears while she was talking at the court. Four days later I received the decision from the Judge, yes she accepted my case🎉. Katherine never left me she continued to chase the Home office for my ID , one day before my birthday had an appointment for my BRP five days later I received my ID . Turpin miller the best of everything. Katherine , Susmita and the barrister well done guys, I’m the happiest girl in the world at the moment. Katherine’s so positive, honest, smart ❤️"
"I would like to thank the expert Kriti Khadka for her assistance through the process of my spouse visa application. She was well organised, communicative and really patient with me. It was my pleasure to have such a lovable and a professional solicitor.I couldn’t have done it without her. Keep it up!"
"It was a privilege to use Laura's legal services. Her professional brilliance and compassion were most impressive. This law firm is in a league of its own and highly recommendable."
"Great service and professional peoples.
Absolutely brilliant service , I highly recommend the firm for immigration cases. I went to Turpin and miller for my ILR application and I am so glad that I met kriti Khadka for my case. Because of her my case is successful today. She is very professional and friendly person, Very understandable and easy to talk and she explain me every step so nice and clearly . Kriti I just wanna say thank you so much for your help and advice . I also give a big thanks to you Eliana Barrera for timely response of my all emails and help me out with my work documents.

"Hi Jo I am delightful to hear that. I am so excited and overwhelmed. This has made our day
Huge thank you again for all your professional help and guidance throughout this process."
“Please allow me to express my deepest and happiest gratitude to you and your office for the, what, 21+ months (!!!) that you have championed [our] case! It’s a huge win for all of us, so congratulations to you all as well!”
"Turpin Miller were incredibly helpful from the start. They gave me a direct line to somebody who could assist when I needed assistance. I'm very grateful for Mike and Ellen's help in dealing with my legal matter. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone needing assistance."
"Very happy with the special service from Agim and his secretary.thanks for the great service."
“I also wanted to express my gratitude again for the excellent service you provided. I had my ceremony on Thursday and it was a surprisingly emotional event. Thank you and I will continue recommending you to anyone who thinks about embarking on the citizenship journey.”
"The wonderful solicitors Turpin Miller got everything together. Such was the quality of the evidence they collated that the FTJ asked me to pass on his thanks for an "exceptionally well put together bundle". We then had a total of 7 witnesses to call and again Turpin Miller organised everyone so that they were on hand to testify remotely when required."
"The entire process was very well organised. Outcome of all this diligence? Appeal allowed on the day after being told "I don't need to hear from you..." This is a good example of how being a great lawyer is rarely just about the advocacy; the preparation that solicitors do in the background as part of the legal team is often the most important part and is sometimes overlooked; particular thanks to Jo Renshaw, Zahra Govani & Ndo Bikishoni"
“Words cannot express how much we appreciate what you did . Thanks for saving us, I don’t know what would have happened to my boys. But now they can stay in the country of their birth and finish their education.”
