    Sunrise solicitors helped me successfully with a no time limit application, offering excellent advice. My case worker was Laureine Roche-Mani who was very helpful in checking and organizing the large number of documents that needed to be submitted as part of my application and keeping me well informed throughout the process. I would recommend their services and would use them again for future applications.
