My partner and I were looking for a lawyer, but we encountered a few who seemed unsure of what they were doing.

This is a message of appreciation to Mr. Richard hardy. I am very excited to share my story. In November 2023, I got a refusal of my student visa (Subclass 500). I than sort the services of Mr Richard to take my case to AAT (now ART). With all his help, I am excited to share that the ART has granted the decision in my favour. I would like to say thank you so much Mr Richard ?? God bless

I cannot speak more highly of Richard Hardy and his professionalism. He has patience, understanding, compassion and such a wide knowledge of any immigration or visa concerns. If you need help in this area do not go anywhere else - ring or email Richard and you will get the same wonderful and prompt assistance that I got. Once again thanks Richard!
