Client experience
How we work
with you
Four things you can count on from the first call through to the decision. What clients make of it is better heard from them than from us - their reviews are on Google.
Read our Google reviewsFixed fees, agreed first
You know what the work costs before it starts. Fees are set out in a written costs agreement you sign - there is no hourly meter running in the background and no invoice you did not see coming.
A lawyer on your file
Your matter is run by an admitted Australian legal practitioner rather than passed down a processing line. The person who gives you the advice is the person doing the work on your application.
Evidence, not optimism
Every application is built as though it will be tested - evidence mapped to the criteria it has to satisfy, and the weak points found by us before they are found by the Department.
You can see where it stands
Documents and messages move through the encrypted client portal with live tracking on your matter, so you are never sending an email just to find out what is happening.

I had a great experience with Rise Migration Lawyers. Zaid helped me with my Tribunal review and also assisted with getting my matter expedited. He was very responsive, kept me updated and guided me through the whole process. I would highly recommend Rise Migration to anyone needing help with a migration or Tribunal matter.
