What our clients say about Seraphus

  • “I have used Seraphus’s video consultation service twice now in order to work out options for complex immigration applications. Both times the service was professional and very helpful.”

    Carolyn Crawshaw

  • “We did an online 30 minute consultation with a Seraphus lawyer, the process was very easy to set up and the video call worked very well. We were able to ask all our questions and get insights into the visa process. It really helped us in making our application.”

  • “…(the) advice was invaluable in making the application, guiding us all the way through the process.”
