Hannah graduated from the University of Sussex in 2023 where she studied Law with French. Whilst at Sussex, Hannah volunteered at the Sussex Family Law Clinic offering both administrative and legal support.

Whilst undertaking a study year abroad at the Université de Grenoble-Alpes, Hannah was a research visitor at the European Court of Human Rights where she held several interviews with judges and human rights-immigration experts. She studied and discussed the Court’s judgement and policies in preparation for her undergraduate law dissertation on the Nationality and Borders Act 2022 and unaccompanied asylum-seeking children.

In her final year, Hannah worked closely with the Sussex Migration Law Clinic where she was able to write letters of advice to vulnerable clients concerning Asylum Law and family reunification outside of the immigration rules. In July 2023, Hannah’s team won the UH/Blackstone's National Criminal Advocacy Competition.

Hannah joined Wilsons in October 2023 as a caseworker in the Public Law and Human Rights department. She is currently studying part-time towards an International Human Rights Law LLM at the University of Sussex.

Hannah hopes to continue volunteering with the Sussex Migration Law Clinic.

Thanks for your support and guidance

I’m very happy to highly recommend Alexandra Wilks who dealt with my divorce. With her diligence and patience we managed to complete negotiations without resorting to court (it was heading that way). Her advice was clear and sensible and I was made to feel comfortable and heard! She remained mindful of my financial situation throughout and I’m confident the outcome would have been very different without her.

Can I first reiterate my thanks to you in helping to secure the agreed settlement. I know it was hard but without your help I do not believe we would have got to the position we did.

Sarah took the time to really understand my situation and provided me with detailed, pragmatic and measured legal advice.  With her generosity of time and her personal approach she was able to present my case well to my barrister, who said that the notes that Ms Edwards had produced during my hearing were invaluable.  Without Sarah,  I am not sure that my children and I would be in the positive place that we are in now.

Sara Edwards took the time to really understand

Sarah as a solicitor is very efficient, patient, sympathetic, understanding and is always happy to listen. She makes me feel comfortable to talk about my personal matters and always makes clear my position and advises in a respectful way.

Sarah Edwards - genuinely listened

Thank you for the consistent support you have given me over the last 14 months.

From Over stayer, detention, signing on, court appearances to Refugee status then the icing on top British Citizenship was a lot of work and this was done with one lawyer - Ana Gonzalez. Thanks Ana i can never repay you for all the hard work you have done for me. I am finally FREE.

I just want to say thank you so so much. Specially to Michael Goldin and Rachel Henson. You have been so supportive and so helpful. Words cannot explain how grateful I am. I was facing guaranteed deportation as I have served 18 months prison sentence. I do not think anyone else could of won the case for me. Wilson Solicitors are the only firm that can fight a guaranteed deportation case and win.If anyone reading this who is going through the stress of fighting deportation or immigration cases let me assure you from experience, Wilson Solicitors are expert at this. If it wasnt for them I wouldnt be here in this country.

The thing that I take away most from my experience with Wilsons is that I felt valued and that they were on my side and fighting hard for me. This restored my faith in immigration lawyers after having a previous bad experience. My overall assessment of Wilsons is that, they have great customer service. In addition, I felt valued as a client and a person as if they truly identified with my situation and didn't see me as another number in the queue.

Expert, detailed knowledge, of course, resourceful in the best way of presenting a few complicated areas of the case, fast and hard-working, quick to respond to emails, careful and friendly.

I can say without any shadow of doubt that this law firm really believe in Justice for all... Its not just a Tagline or a mission statement, its actually a culture. I came to the UK completely broken, vulnerable, lost and discouraged. I didnt know what to do nor which way to go; but I can count myself fortunate to have met a solicitor from Wilson Solicitors who helped me through. she was not only Competent with a great Professionalism but also, she did not hesitate to lend me her ears whenever I needed to talk. She listened to me with a lot of attention and interest, shown empathy and provided words of encouragement and the appropriate advice when needed.I am more than satisfied with their services and will not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need. And personally, i will definitely go back to them in the future when needs arise. Thank you ever so much

The legal services of Michael Hanley and his team were fantastic. The Home Office threatened to separate my family. Before Wilsons Solicitors, we went through two other legal firms that let us down. Michael, however, turned our luck around. He was sympathetic to our case and extremely proactive and helpful, often working on a moments notice when necessary. Each step of the way felt like Michael was truly on our side and sincerely wished us the best, and he won the case for us. We owe the unity of our family to Michael and his team. We have already recommended the services of Wilsons Solicitors to a friend in a similar unfortunate position, and we highly recommend their services to anyone else out there.
