My Son, his wife and our family are very happy with AR LAW Services.

Mr Anthony Robinson is my family’s lawyer and has been managing our protection visa application.

We are so happy and have no hesitation in recommending AR LAW Services.

And i would definately recommend anyone for any type case whether Migration or criminal case. Anthony Robinson he is just NOT a migrating agent. He is professional Lawyer which makes him Trustworthy.

Sandy MardaySandy Marday       (PR – Skilled Visa Matter)

AR Law Services delivers professional and exceptional service when it comes to any aspect of the legal system. I was referred to AR Law services and had Anthony looking after my immigration papers, while the immigration laws were ever changing – ‘not that this has changed in any way as we speak’. I would highly recommend their services to anyone who requires genuine insight and expect results, since I have many friends whom I have referred personally and the outcome has never been unfavorable. I believe that being at the top of the game is what differs AR Law Services from other lawyers. The timeliness and completeness of the methods adopted greatly assisted myself when I was still at university; trust me removing the hassle of having to scramble around to ensure that nothing is missed is potentially the biggest challenge when it comes to the department. In saying all of this, it would be thanks to their guidance and advice that I have reached to where I’m at today. Please do yourself a favour and hit them up if you have any questions – they are the best in the business! Period

Anthony is a really caring lawyer and intelligent lawer.
Oleg Pesenka   AAT appeal  GTE matter  4020
I had recently my 189 visa application declined (clause 4020) due to the fact that Immigration couldn’t verify my overseas experience. AR LAW Services helped me to win my AAT visa appeal.Regards some of google reviews that AR LAW seems expensive I should say that don’t be mistaken, AAT appeal or any court related matter are not cheap procedures in Australia, but having a professional like Mr Robinson by your side definitely worth it. Also don’t forget, you can save yourself a lot of money by presenting your information/case/paperwork to your lawyer as clear and as organised as possible and only then they would be able to generate strategies and most efficiently organise your case for presentation at AAT.
I have no hesitations in recommending AR LAW Services and Mr Robinson.

talib Erfan  talib Erfan    (Appeal Matter)

I strongly suggest you to retain Mr Anthony Robinson from AR LAW. Mr Robinson is the most qualified immigration barrister and lawyer.

A client came to us about 2 years ago – she had had her life destroyed by a dodgy (corrupt, lazy, careless) migration agent.

This cowboy not only destroyed her PR pathway but instead of telling her that he had made a mistake – he file a refugee visa application for her without telling her!

Well today the first step of justice came through.

Best Compensation Lawyers – We sue “Dodgy” (dumb incompetent dishonest) migration agents.

About 3 years ago I was retained by a client who had been cheated by a dodgy migration agent.  At first I just assumed it was yet another heartbreaking tale of an innocent and gullible visa applicant trusting an incompetent migration agent.

Over the last 3 years, given we had tried on many occasions and via many methods – letters, emails and process servers – to contact this migration agent, however we failed to get a reply.

Until today.
