Review Summary

Clients consistently praise Sahar Shamia and James Turner for their professionalism, expertise, and dedication in handling complex immigration cases, with multiple reviewers noting successful residency outcomes and clear communication. However, one client strongly criticizes the firm, accusing Sahar of rudeness and Simon Laurent of arrogance and poor service, claiming the positive reviews may be from employees. Overall, most reviews highlight positive experiences, particularly for challenging cases, but the single negative review raises concerns about client treatment.

I am beyond grateful to Sahar and Laurent Law for successfully securing my residency visa. My case was complex but Sahar's professionalism and expertise ensured that my appeal was successful. Sahar was extremely kind, diligent, and promptly shared updates and responded to my queries. It felt so heartening and reassuring to feel so well supported in extremely stressful circumstances. I honestly can't recommend Sahar and Laurent Law highly enough for complex Immigration cases. Sahar is exceptional and her incredible submission enabled me to remain in New Zealand which means the absolute world to me! Thank you so, so much.

I worked with Sahar at Laurent Law on a very difficult and complex case that took a long time to resolve. Throughout the entire process, Sahar showed exceptional professionalism, patience, and dedication. Thanks to her hard work and expertise, my husband Tuyen has finally received his Resident Visa. Sahar was always clear, supportive, and proactive in every step of the process. I am truly grateful and highly recommend Laurent Law—especially Sahar—for anyone dealing with challenging immigration matters. Thank you so much, Sahar!

We had the privilege of working with James at Laurent Law for our New Zealand immigration process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He guided my husband, our four children, and me through the long and complex journey of securing permanent residency. From start to finish, James was calm, professional, and incredibly responsive. He explained each step clearly, reassured us when the process felt overwhelming, and ensured that no detail was overlooked. I can honestly say that we would not have achieved this outcome without his expertise and guidance. If you are looking for an immigration attorney who combines deep knowledge with compassion and reliability, James is outstanding. We are beyond grateful for all he has done for our family.

I do not recommend them. I dealt with them and regretted dealing with them. Their services are very, very bad. The one by (Sahar) she was very rude so much !! . And the other lawyer (Simon) is real. I dealt with more than one immigration lawyer in different countries. I never seen the worst immigration services in my life like that lawyer. The meeting was a quarter of an hour, and the lawyer was talking unkindly so much, and interrupted the conversation directly, the lawyer whose name is (Simon) unfortunately was talking with extreme arrogance and was very rude so much. The only concern was the consultation fee only!! . And I would like to say all that those who praise Review in comments they are employees in the current office and their friends as well. I have told many friends and many other people's about that office and their services and their behavior and deals, and everyone was taken a very bad negative view . This action, however, affects the company's reputation and value, and that's the most important thing. Congratulations to them.
