Clarification on Recent Media Coverage Regarding Immigration Services
Recent media coverage has raised concerns regarding the structure and pricing of certain immigration services offered by our principal lawyer, Mr Ken Oh.
We believe it is important to provide clarity and context to ensure the public is accurately informed.
At Kenton Chambers Lawyers, our practice has always been grounded in professionalism, transparency, and a genuine commitment to achieving successful outcomes for our clients. Mr Oh has spent decades working in immigration law, assisting individuals and families to navigate what is often a complex and life-changing process.
Commitment to Honest and Outcome-Focused Services
Immigration pathways, particularly those involving long-term residency strategies, are inherently complex. They often require:
- Detailed legal assessment
- Strategic planning across multiple visa stages
- Ongoing legal support over an extended period
Our services are structured to reflect this complexity and the level of professional involvement required.
Importantly, our approach is outcome-focused. In many cases, our fee structures are designed so that a significant portion of fees is linked to progress or successful milestones. This reflects our confidence in the pathways we recommend and ensures alignment between our firm and our clients.
Mr Oh does not operate on a model of charging for unsuccessful or unrealistic outcomes. On the contrary, we carefully assess each case before proceeding and only take on matters where we believe there is a genuine and achievable pathway forward.
Transparency and Client Understanding
We understand that any substantial legal investment must be clearly explained and fully understood by clients.
For this reason, we ensure that:
- Clients are provided with detailed explanations of services and costs
- All stages of the process are clearly outlined
- Clients have the opportunity to ask questions before proceeding
Our goal is to ensure that clients make informed decisions based on a full understanding of both the opportunities and the risks involved.
The Nature of Long-Term Immigration Pathways
Some immigration pathways involve multiple stages over several years — including study, work, and residency applications.
These are not single applications but comprehensive legal strategies that may include:
- Initial visa applications
- Ongoing compliance and advisory support
- Transition to work visas
- Residency planning and applications
The fees associated with such services reflect the scope, duration, and professional responsibility involved in managing these processes.
Our Ongoing Commitment
We respect the role of the media in informing the public and welcome open discussion about the immigration industry.
At the same time, we believe it is essential that such discussions reflect the full context of the services provided.
Kenton Chambers Lawyers remains committed to:
- Ethical legal practice
- Transparent communication
- Delivering practical and achievable immigration solutions
We are proud of the outcomes we have achieved for our clients and remain dedicated to maintaining the highest professional standards.
We encourage anyone with questions about our services to contact us directly. We are always available to provide clear and accurate information tailored to individual circumstances.
