Abode Migration Lawyers

After attempting to find the right person to look after our case and having interacted with different migration agents, My Fiance and I came across Abode Migration Lawyers for our partner visa case and we're not hesitant to say that it was a decision worthwhile. To say that Samantha not only provided us answers that were well-informed and truthful, but also genuine and logical would be an understatement. Our partner visa case had certain complexities to it that only Samantha could see through and help us present a solid case to the Department convincing enough for consideration of a grant of the visa. She and her team was always supportive and approachable throughout the entire process of application and grant. We are certain that had we gone to a different agency or law firm or if we had attempted to apply on our own, we would not have achieved the outcome that we were looking for our case. We would highly recommend Abode Migration lawyers to anyone who is looking for a genuinely caring and competent team of professionals. We have not come across anyone as competent, honest and supportive as Samantha amongst any other migration agents or lawyers that we have had interactions with.

I consulted with three different migration agents prior to Sam. It only took a 15 minute chat with her to be convinced of her competency, care and experience. At every step of the way, she was supportive and responsive, always clearly outlining the next steps.

She is extremely professional, knowledgeable and has a keen attention to detail. I highly recommend Sam for any migration purposes.

Samantha is fantastic! Very thorough and professional. Even in the midst of a pandemic and changing offices everything went smoothly. Absolute legend

I wholeheartedly recommend Abode Migration Lawyers. I worked with Gerard and he could not have been more competent, helpful, and kind. I felt supported every step of the way navigating what would have otherwise been an overwhelming visa process. Gerard genuinely cares about his clients and it shows.

I dealt directly with Samantha and her assistant Gerard and both were proffesional, and friendly. I have been trying to solve my children legal status for 2 years. I went to other migration lawyers for information. They did not know how to help my case since it was so unique. I found Abode Migration lawyer online and requested an appointment. Samantha called me, and when I told her my situation, she provide me the information that I needed, and took on my case. My kids are now Citizen. I thank them for all their hard work and interest. They were efficient and caring. You don't find people like this now a days. Thank you Samantha and Gerard.

Professional, knowledgeable, friendly, efficient, and above all – caring.

I discovered Adobe Migration Lawyers on Law Institute of Victoria Referral Service. I called them and left a message. Shortly afterwards, I received a call from the Principal Lawyer, Samantha Fitzsimons. I was highly impressed with Samantha’s knowledge and understanding of Migration Law and immigration matters. She quickly understood my situation and advised me on the best way to move forward. I felt very comfortable dealing with Samantha and was amazed by her friendly and calm approach. I would recommend her to anyone having concerns with their immigration and migration matter or issues

I cannot thank Samantha enough for all her help. I write this from my partner’s apartment in Los Angeles which she helped me get to from Melbourne, Australia when I was struggling to get a travel exemption on my own.
She is extremely professional and built the strongest case for my journey over here. She knows all the Bio Security laws inside and out. She is so clever, compassionate and covered all bases and angles for my application. She was always so quick to respond to any questions I had or when I was panicked from reading news updates on travel. I would still be stuck in Australia if it wasn’t for her. I am so grateful and highly recommend her.

Would 100% recommend Samantha and the team if you need help regarding your visa.
She helped me massively through the process of my application.
She was always completely honest and open about what was needed and how the application looked.
She was always prompt in replying to any questions and queries we had too which meant that we were able to speed up the process more.

Samantha helped my partner get his permanent residency on a partner visa. From the very start she was honest, helpful and very professional. She responded to all our questions quickly and helped us create a very strong case for my partner. I would highly recommend anyone looking for an immigration lawyer to work with Samantha.

Sam from Abode Migration has been fantastic throughout this entire process. She was always helpful, responsive, and provided excellent advice. My wife and I are so thankful for everything abode have done for us.

We engaged with Abode Migration Lawyers through a recommendation of a friend. We deliberated for a while if we really needed a lawyer over just a migration agent. So we booked a free intial consultation with Samantha. The consultion was only 15 minutes but Sam was incredibly knowledgable and full of advice for our partner visa as a gay couple. We definitely had peace of mind when we engaged with Sam to initiate the visa. We were taken through all processes personally by Sam through the client portal, with advice on evidence gathering, to help with writing up statutory declarations. Your "fees" go directly into a trust fund where you get receipts from Abode Migraton Lawyers, after they had completed a stage or service for you. Sam has gone beyond her role as a migration lawyer for us. Very happy with the service.

We dealt with Sam from Abode Migration Lawyers and the service that we received was second to none. We were kept informed throughout the entire process and if we ever had a question Sam was quick to respond with the information that we needed. Sam is a true professional and we would have no hesitation in recommending Sam and Abode Migration Lawyers.

I submitted my profile and received a call the very next day. Spoke to Dessie who has been very helpful. She listened to my queries and responded to each and every one of them without withholding anything. Would definitely recommend to others.

There is not a single aspect of the service I received from Abode that I can find fault with. From my initial submission of an online contact form to my visa being granted just under a year later, Sam, Gerard and the Abode team were highly professional and sensitive to my situation - overall outstanding service.

My visa situation was complex and highly emotionally charged - I was absolutely emotionally exhausted by the process by the time I found Abode. Their understanding and knowledge of the niche area of law that I was working within was not matched by any other agency I spoke to. The time limits that were imposed on my by Immigration to provide the evidence that was required made the situation difficult, but at every step I was kept informed and abreast of the situation.

I simply cannot thank them enough for their work and for helping to change my life and 100% recommend them to anyone needing a migration agent.

Dessie and the crew at Abode Migration Lawyers are top notch and I highly recommend utilising them for your visa needs. No question was too trivial, no email went unanswered, and advice was always offered. Dessie makes you feel like her only client and truly values the individual circumstances of each case. I went for a consultation to go over my options and a year later when I was ready to move forward, Dessie remembered all the details from our consult. Thank you to Adode Migration for making the process of applying for PR easy and seamless. I am so glad I was recommended to contact Dessie through an expat group.

Samantha and Gerard are testimony to abode migration’s values. True professionals that provide genuine and honest service. I would strongly recommend Abode’s services to anyone who is new or even if you have had a bad experience with another agent and wants the right direction in their case.
*Although my interaction was short but it was effective and I got the right answers. Keep in touch.
The * is the 6th star I would add to the review cause you deserve it. Keep up the good work.
Thank you

We have engaged Abode Migration Lawyers in the AAT appeal of the rejection of my husband’s partner visa application. Gerard has been our representative. He is very professional, knowledgeable, dedicated, responsive, and caring. He has guided us patiently through this journey that otherwise could have been very difficult and painful without his professional assistance. What is particularly worth mentioning is how precise and thorough Gerard has prepared all the legal submissions. You can tell he has done plenty of research and put a lot of effort to the submissions, which has been proved extremely helpful in winning our case. We just got a favourable decision from the AAT this afternoon, which was super quick.

We can’t say enough thank you to Gerard, Samantha who we also met in the first meeting and has given us great advice, and the whole Abode team. Highly recommend Adobe to anyone who is in need of immigration legal services.

Gerard was my lawyer in the last 3 years and he was absolutely amazing with helping me getting my visa. He really cared about me and tried his best to get me a visa despite a very big complication in my situation. I highly recommend their service. Thanks Gerard and Adobe migration lawyers.

I would not hesitate in recommending Abode Migration. Samantha Fitzsimons is extremely knowledgable and up to speed with the latest regulations, and I appreciated the time she took to review and explain our options. Very professional service - thank you!

Dessie was consulted by my partner's company to get us both working visas. We are both engineers from the UK and got our working visas through sponsorship. The process is not easy but Dessie was such a great support. She has incredible knowledge of the law and requirements and is extremely patient, held up communication with us throughout the process, assisted in getting the correct documentation in for the applications and successfully got us both working visas. We would recommend Abode Migration Lawyers and in particular Dessie.
