Sterling & Law Associates Opiniones 

I had a fantastic experience using Olga Gavrysh's apostille services. She handled the apostilling of my power of attorney, and the process was incredibly fast, efficient, and cost-effective. I highly recommend Olga for anyone needing apostille services!

I wish to express my sincere appreciation to Otabek Gulomov and Anna Shvetsova for their exceptional support in securing a sponsor licence for my company. Their professionalism and dedication were evident at every stage of the process. They meticulously gathered all required documents and crafted a comprehensive cover letter that effectively highlighted our company’s strengths and objectives. Their efforts led to a swift and successful outcome, and I highly recommend their services.

Good morning
I had few questions about prolonging of my status here in UK. I left a request and I got a call from company in few days. The conversation was very helpful for me, because it helped me to solve my issue much faster. Advice was given in a very professional way and easy for understanding.
My experience was only positive so I'll definitely recommend this company

Very unprofessional team, they are liars, not lawyers. Their prices are sky-high, but they fool people, ignore customers after paying for the services, and do not provide the promised services. Disappointing experience.

I had a very disappointing experience with this agency during my UK Global Talent visa application process.

My case was handled by Alexandra Mokrova, and unfortunately, the service provided was far below what was promised. Communication was extremely poor throughout the engagement — there were multiple occasions where Alexandra Mokrova did not respond for weeks, forcing me to send over five follow-up emails just to get basic answers. I even had to escalate internally to other team members just to receive updates about my own application.

At the beginning of the engagement, they assured me that my application had a very high success rate. However, the guidance I received during the preparation phase was seriously lacking based on Tech Nation feedback. Additionally, Alexandra Mokrova proposed that I purchase fake views for my YouTube channel to support my case — something I immediately refused, as it is unethical and against my values.

I even requested a call with her to review my full profile before submission, this was refused. After my application was rejected, the feedback from Tech Nation made it very clear that the documents submitted are general and do not offer any unique insights into their abilities. letters, which Alexandra Mokrova reviewed and approved.

After the refusal, I contacted the agency multiple times to request a refund. My refund request was not based on the contractual terms we signed, but rather on the inadequate service provided throughout the engagement, which I clearly documented and shared. I provided detailed evidence, examples, and even offered to have a call to explain everything and work toward a fair resolution. Instead of addressing the issue professionally, Andrei Luca from their compliance team responded with indirect threats of legal action, rather than acknowledging the feedback or showing any willingness to resolve the matter. Despite further follow-ups and offering a very reasonable partial refund proposal, they chose to completely ignore my emails.

It’s truly disappointing, especially considering I made every effort to settle the situation privately and respectfully.

This review is based entirely on factual experiences and documents, and is intended to help others make informed decisions when choosing legal or immigration support for critical applications like the UK Global Talent Visa.

Dear Ruslan and Yurii,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the outstanding legal services you provided during my case.

From our initial consultation to the final resolution, your professionalism and dedication were evident at every step. You took the time to thoroughly explain each aspect of the process, ensuring that I understood my options and felt confident in the decisions we made together.

Your responsiveness to my questions and concerns was incredibly reassuring. I always felt like a priority, and your willingness to go above and beyond truly set you apart. Moreover, the level of expertise and attention to detail your team demonstrated was impressive, resulting in a favorable outcome that exceeded my expectations.

Thank you once again for your exceptional service. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Best regards,

Alexandru Gudzuman

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Sterling and Law, and especially to the incredible professionals Oksana and Michael, for their outstanding work on my immigration case. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I received a positive decision in less than two months — truly remarkable! My family has been with Sterling and Law for over 10 years, and during this time, they’ve become much more than just legal advisors — they are our guardian angels. Their thorough approach, kindness, and unwavering professionalism have earned our complete trust. Thanks to them, I can now live peacefully with my family under a safe and stable sky, raise my child, and build a future — something that would not have been possible without their help. I wholeheartedly recommend Sterling and Law to anyone seeking not just legal assistance, but genuine care and top-tier expertise.

Paddy was very helpful today and I would recommend him to anyone needing financial advice.

Unresponsive and ignoring emails and phone calls. I bought a package for a Global Talent Visa with 50% cashback in case of an unsuccessful result.

I did not receive a cashback until Jan 28, when I wrote this review. However, I received it on Jan 29.

To give a hint, here is a timeline of my endeavour with them:
1. Nov 22, 2024 - I was rejected for my GT Visa. It happens. No worries.
2. December 12, 2024 - I applied for a refund by emailing their manager, Ilia
3. January 2, 2025 - I reminded Ilia about a refund via email
4. January 3, 2025 - Ilia answered and gave a form to fill in for a refund. I had submitted it before answering Ilia about submitting it
5. January 11, 2025 - I emailed Ilia and asked about the refund date
And then I started calling them
6. January 15, 2025 - I called Ilia by a phone number in his signature. No Ilia was found. They advised me to call the office number. I called for a number they use on-site for calls (BTW - numbers change depending on your path to their website. I assume they track marketing performance). They took my data and assured me that they would reply shortly.
7. January 16, 2025 - I called again. Pavlo, their employee (?), took my data and called me back, assuring me that I would see my refund shortly (no exact date still). First reply: wow! BTW, 1 star is for Pavlo's client service. He is good and proactive
8. January 20, 2025 - I received a letter via email about my rejection from Nelli, a paralegal who was working on my case
9. January 27, 2025 - I escalated my refund issue: I emailed Ilia, Nelli, and Alexandra (the immigration lawyer who worked on my case) with their top management in cc, describing the problem.
10. January 28, 2025 - No response from SL. So, I wrote a review here.
11. January 29, 2025 - I've got my refund.
12. January 30, 2025 - I received a call from Vasyl (their representative) but couldn't talk.
13. January 31, 2025 - I missed a call from Vasyl. However, Vasyl texted me this:
You made your refund claim on Dec 27 (comment: not true); we told you that we need 28 working days for a refund to be completed (comment: not true); on Jan 28, our accountants verified that the refund was made. On Jan 29, we received a notice from Google about your false review. We did not reply to your review, and we kindly ask you to delete it as your issue is solved. If you don't delete it, we will deliver actions to prove your review is false.

For the review to be truthful, I edited it with a detailed communications timeline.

My score is not for the legal services they provide but for their treatment of a client.

Jekaterina Trubina for us was more than a lawyer, she was a solid support throughout this very difficult process.. It was a lot of hard work and took a lot of energy, but she helped us in a way that very few lawyers do and we 100% saw that a job done with passion and commitment like she is doing gives more than results! For us she meant a lot and we are referring her to anyone who asks for a lawyer because there is no better person for the job than her!
From the bottom of our hearts,
Thank you for everything you did for us!

Avoid unless you want your money going down the drain.

After speaking to multiple legal firms who all advised there was no case, this firm claimed they could take a “different approach.” They padded their retainer fee, and after multiple discussions about the approach we agreed on, they inexplicably instructed a barrister to provide an opinion on an approach we specifically said we didn’t want to pursue. Unsurprisingly, the barrister’s opinion confirmed what we already knew—that there was no case.

Throughout this process, communication was abysmal. Updates were sparse, unclear, or nonexistent. We had to chase them repeatedly over months just to get basic information. In the end, we were shocked to find nearly £6,000 wasted on an approach we explicitly opposed from the beginning.

When we raised concerns, they claimed they would discuss the matter further with the barrister. The result? A short email “summarizing” the barrister’s opinion, obviously an attempt to cover up their mistake. To make matters worse, they expected us to pay the barrister’s fee, despite the fact they were the ones who instructed the barrister incorrectly. Attempts to speak with the managing director were ignored—we never even got a call back.

Instead, they passed us off to Andrei Luca, Head of Risk and Compliance. Our experience with him was by far the worst. My partner and I both joined the call to ensure fairness, but his behavior was shockingly unprofessional. He was rude, dismissive, and used an intimidating tone to escalate the situation rather than resolve it.

If you value your time, money, and sanity, steer clear of this firm. We’ve never experienced such poor treatment and outright incompetence from a professional service.

I had an excellent experience with Sterling & Law Emigration Solicitors, and I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding assistance provided by Oksana Demyanchuk and Jekaterina Trubina. Their professionalism, in-depth knowledge, and personalized approach made a potentially stressful emigration process smooth and worry-free.

Oksana Demyanchuk impressed me with her expertise and attention to detail, always ensuring that every step was handled accurately and efficiently. Her clear communication and patient explanations helped me feel informed and confident throughout the process.

Jekaterina Trubina was equally exceptional, providing prompt support and ensuring that all documentation was properly prepared and submitted on time. Her friendly and approachable manner made it easy to discuss any concerns, and she always went the extra mile to assist.

Together, Oksana and Jekaterina form a fantastic team that genuinely cares about their clients’ success.
I highly recommend Sterling & Law to anyone in need of emigration services. Their dedication, professionalism, and excellent customer service truly set them apart!

Thank you for qick and qualified help to Tetiana Deren. Despite my harsh circumstances and delayes from my side she managed to make an application. I've got a visa! Thank you for help!

I had the pleasure of working with Sterling and I can confidently say they are exceptional in their field. Their expertise is evident in every step of the process, and they are truly dedicated to achieving the best outcomes for their clients.

The team is highly professional, approachable, and skilled at providing clear guidance throughout complex legal matters. They took the time to explain everything in detail, ensuring I felt confident and informed at every stage.

Their dedication to client care is unmatched, and they handle cases with both precision and empathy. I wholeheartedly recommend Sterling to anyone in need of reliable and knowledgeable legal assistance.

Want to leave positive reviews for company Sterling and the Law.They helped me solve my immigration problems.And I want separately thank
my solicitor Oksana Demyanchuk and her assistant Michelle and Laslo Kondric!

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience with Sterling & Law Associates.

Despite multiple attempts to schedule an initial assessment for a Global Talent Visa, I've been met with significant delays and a lack of communication.

While I understand that unforeseen circumstances, like staff illness, can disrupt schedules, the consistent rescheduling and subsequent lack of response have been frustrating and unprofessional.

My husband, who took time off work to attend a crucial meeting scheduled for November 20th with a senior solicitor, has been completely ignored since then. This level of disregard for clients' time and commitments is unacceptable.

I strongly advise potential clients to consider other legal firms that prioritize client communication and respect their time.

I had the pleasure of working with Faisal for finding me a new mortgage. Very professional and amazing delivery. Great to relieve pressure on a unpopular process. Great Work

Worse organisation in Uk. should be deprived of license.

Many thanks to Yuriy Lysenko for professional help
