I recently needed a consultation only with Bellissimo Immigration Law Group. They were punctual and quite insightful as to my situation and thorough. I never felt rushed and also had a second colleague of theirs enter the consultation to confirm everything we had discussed. I will iuse them in the future. Spectacular.

I had a very disappointing experience with Bellissimo Law Group. When people contact an immigration lawyer, it is usually during one of the most stressful times in their lives. You hope to speak with people who are understanding, professional, and genuinely care. Unfortunately, that was the complete opposite of my experience. From the very first phone call, Michael was rude, dismissive, and came across like he did not care at all. The tone felt cold and impatient, as if speaking to us was a burden. It immediately gave a bad impression. We still decided to move forward with a consultation, hoping things would improve. They did not. They showed up with zero background on the case and clearly had not taken the time to properly review anything beforehand. Instead of feeling prepared or interested in understanding the situation, it felt like we had to start from scratch while being rushed through basic questions. Once they mentioned they could represent us, the conversation quickly turned to fees. Whenever we asked questions, the responses felt rude, condescending, and full of attitude. There was no warmth, no reassurance, and no sense that they actually cared about the person behind the case. The lawyer we dealt with was Mario Bellissimo. At no point did we feel comfortable, supported, or respected. Immigration cases are personal and serious. People need a lawyer who listens, prepares, and cares enough to fight for them. Based on my experience, this firm felt more focused on money than people. I would strongly suggest looking for representation elsewhere.

I filled out a request for a consultation yesterday but hadn’t received a response. I decided to call them today and the person who answered the phone was rude and dismissive. I told him I was looking for help regarding my PR and he told me they were booking for next week. When I asked who the consultant might be with, he answered incredibly condescending and said that since I hadn’t told him anything about my case he couldn’t help me. I am very anxious about this and didn’t realise he needed more information as he didn’t ask. He made me feel stupid when I was just looking for some help. Please find somewhere else. If this is how the front desk handles their clients I cannot imagine the kind of treatment regarding your legal cases. Edit: while I appreciate the attempt to reach out post incident, the time for the correct behaviour was when I called the first time. I have chosen to proceed with a different lawyer with better reviews.

Bellissimo Immigration Law Group made a complex process feel clear and manageable. Their team was professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to helping me succeed. I always felt informed, supported, and in excellent hands. I’m truly grateful for their work and highly recommend them.

Mario Bellissimo and Keely Anderson are outstanding professionals. I couldn’t recommend them more and would give 6 stars if I could. My experience with them demonstrated to me why they are so consistently and highly ranked by their peers. I am a New York Attorney and Australian lawyer myself so can be harder to please with legal related services than perhaps others, but this firm was exceptional. I was assisting a close friend with a Canadian visa application . From our first call with each of them they drilled down into the details of her case and gave more than the allocated time to truly understand the situation prior to providing advice. It was a complicated case and not unreasonably, they indicated the odds of success / failure of a successful visa application were even. But they assured us they would try their darndest to help ! Their experience was obvious and they imbued confidence in their knowledge of Visa law and procedures as well as how it practically operated within the IRCC. We had previously contacted three other immigration agents all of whom indicated that without misrepresentating the situation, the odds of my friend getting a visa were very low. A fourth lawyer we had spoken to had recommended an honest pathway to applying, but was very hazy on strategy. We did not feel comfortable with any of them. Bellísimo recommended we provide the IRCC with full disclosure and an explanation - which is how we proceeded. We then proceeded to comprehensively document the situation and received an extensive supporting legal advice to the IRCC from Bellísimo, which distilled the extensive evidence we were able to gather. Although we understood there were no guarantees as to success, with Bellísimo lawyers’ guidance we felt rest assured that we ultimately submitted the best possible application and were honest in doing so. Whilst initially I noted a discrepancy between the fees that the immigration agents charged and those that Bellísimo charged, there is no question that as lawyers, their fees were reasonable and the quality of the work they did was infinitely superior to those of the immigration agents. I definitively believe we got value for money and their fees were reasonable for the work and effort provided. Ultimately the application was successful. We were thrilled. We feel indebted to Keely and Mario for their assistance and unreservedly recommend them individually and their firm for outstanding immigration law advice.
