Evin Atas

I am an immigration and civil law barrister with particular expertise in unlawful detention, EEA, asylum and nationality law. I do both immigration applications and appeal hearings. I am extremely thorough in my approach and ensure the case is prepared in the highest light possible.

My approach

I am extremely thorough and conscientious. I adopt a hands-on, practical approach to your problems and ensure that you know and understand what is happening at each stage of the process. You can expect realistic, cost-sensitive and practical advice. I am dedicated to working hard for my clients and you can instruct me at any stage of the case. I have extensive court experience and I aim to make the process as understandable and as stress-free as possible.

I am easy to communicate with, accessible and do not blind my clients with science. By far the bulk of my clients like and appreciate me and are very happy and satisfied with the work I perform on their behalf.

Costs: I charge fixed fees which I agree in advance with you at each and every stage so that you get no surprises.
