Why the cheapest legal advice is the advice you get first

Most people contact us with a refusal already in hand. It is understandable and it is usually a year too late, because nearly everything that decides these cases is settled before the application is filed.

1. Doing it once saves 6 to 24 months

An appeal typically runs 12 to 24 months, and no amount of skill recovers that time. A case built correctly at the outset means:

• a decision in 3 to 12 months rather than 18 to 36
• no reconsideration stage and no appeal
• your spouse or family here materially sooner.

2. The mistakes are predictable

What we see over and over in self-filed applications:

• the wrong evidence for the self-support requirement
• a tenancy that does not satisfy the housing requirement
• no dispensation argument where one was clearly available
• EU rights approached from the wrong angle, or missed entirely.

3. Most cases have more than one route

Often the real question is not how to file but what to file:

• should reunification go in now, or in a year?
• ordinary Danish rules, or the EU route?
• which work permit scheme actually fits the offer?
• are there grounds for dispensation worth building on?

Picking between those is the highest-value hour in the whole process.

4. More documentation is not better documentation

Overloading a file can actively weaken it, by introducing material that conflicts or invites questions nobody was asking. Part of the work is deciding what to leave out.

5. An honest answer is worth paying for

We decline roughly one case in four, because the realistic prospects are too poor to justify the cost. That is not modesty, it saves the client money, and it is the reason our record means anything.

When to make the call

Ideally before you file. Realistically, as early as you can. Even with an application already in, an early review shapes what goes into the appeal or the supplementary submission.

How we work

1. A free first assessment, we read the case and tell you what we think, including when that is unwelcome.
2. Strategy and a fixed price, agreed before anything begins.
3. The application or the appeal, we prepare it and handle the correspondence.
4. Follow-through, you hear from us until there is a decision.

Send us the case and you will have an answer within a working day.
