About Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP
Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP are an energetic business offering legal services to clients throughout the London area. The firm is located in North Finchley (London) N3, and also at 32 Bloomsbury Street, (Central London) WC1.
The firm started as boutique litigation firm, but the practice has since expanded to cover a broad area of civil law with a specialisation in litigation and dispute resolution. Core areas now include employment law, immigration applications and appeals, landlord and tenant disputes, bankruptcy and insolvency, family and divorce law, wills and probate, residential and commercial conveyancing and commercial and personal litigation.
Our charges are competitive and reasonable, and we would be very pleased to provide a no obligation quote for any matter.
We can offer fixed fee introductory advice meetings. We usually charge on a time basis but depending on the merit of the case we may be willing to offer a fixed fee or 'no win no fee' and will discuss charges at the initial meeting.

Immigration Solicitors.
We can assist with the following areas of Immigration Law:
A) Applications for visas for spouses and other family members.
The rules have become more and more complicated concerning this type of application. We also prepare applications for renewal of visas and/or to apply for indefinite leave to remain.
B) EEA (European Economic Area) nationals.
This consists of applications for residence cards, EEA family permits and indefinite leave to remain. This is even more important than previously due to Brexit.
C) British nationality.
This includes applications for naturalisation and also providing advice in regard to our clients possessing British citizenship.
D) Indefinite leave to remain.
As stated, we can assist with these applications and also assist clients who have secured indefinite leave to remain quite some time ago. It is not uncommon for the Home Office to require evidence of continuous residency in the UK since the grant of the indefinite leave to remain. Compiling this evidence can be particularly difficult especially if indefinite leave to remain was granted many years ago.
E) Human rights applications.
A significant part of our application/appeals relies upon human rights - including by way of an alternative ground.
F) Immigration appeals.
We are particularly strong in undertaking immigration appeals, and we undertake such appeals in close liaison with immigration counsel.
There is normally a very tight deadline to submit an appeal, and there will usually be no time to consider the merits in depth before the appeal being submitted.
On occasions, an appeal is possible even though the Home Office in their rejection letter state that there is no appeal available. It is always best to check in such situations if it is possible to raise an appeal or to make an application for judicial review.
Costs:
We charge on a time basis but can provide fixed costs dependant on the merits of each case. Charge rates and costs can be discussed in detail at the initial meeting.
