Haywood Martin Wise

I was referred to Mr. Haywood Wise by the business lawyer of the company I work for here in Paris. My situation was slightly unusual, in that I was an Australian looking to obtain a carte de sejour to remain in Paris based on a UK Civil Partnership that I entered into less than 3 months ago, with m...y English Partner. Haywood understood the urgency of my case as my current visa was close to expiring, and prepared my case very quickly and efficiently, keeping me up to date via regular telephone and email contact, as well as in person. His research into our rights was extremely thorough and current, even drawing upon a relatively unheard about new EU legislation only recently passed the month before, that made the previous French legislation obsolete in my situation. I felt confident knowing he would represent me at the prefecture, as on previous visits when I went alone the Prefecture had been very unhelpful, and I was never informed about this new EU legislation. In the end it was Haywood's attention to detail to ensure our case was as well prepared as possible, his determination, and his professional and respectful manner when he accompanied me to the Prefecture, which ensured I was granted this seemingly impossible-to-get Visa. Telling the French that their national law was overruled by EU law was something requiring the greatest sensitivity and tact, which Haywood demonstrated in abundance. I have already recommended him to other friends needing help with immigration, and I would not hesitate to use his services or recommend him again. Thanks so much for your help Mr Wise, I’m absolutely thrilled!

I hired a previous lawyer before requiring Mr. WISE's services. Unhappy of the services provided by my former lawyer I hired Mr WISE who handled my French nationality case for half what the previous (unsuccessful) procedure cost me. I received a clear retainer agreement with a global fee, and Mr WI...SE's diligence was greatly appreciated during the entire process. I can only recommend his services.

Mr. Wise and his team were a great help getting my husband and I over to France from the US. Even more importantly, when a family emergency arose back in the US, they were extremely helpful and efficient at ensuring that I had permission to fly back to the states. I would recommend them without any h...esitations!
