Student Testimonials

Aditya C. | Toronto, Canada Undergraduate Student Contract & Agreement Issues

I signed up for a phone contract that seemed like a great deal – unlimited data for students. But the sales person didn't mention it was a 3-year contract with massive cancellation fees. When I realized I'd be graduating and leaving Canada in 18 months, the exit fee was $850. SafeLegal helped me understand my consumer rights and found that the sales person had misrepresented key terms. They got the contract reduced to month-to-month with no penalty.

Rohan M. | Melbourne, Australia Graduate Student Contract & Agreement Issues

I paid $800 upfront for a 'guaranteed' airport pickup and accommodation service for my first week in Australia. When I landed, nobody showed up. No response to calls or emails. I was stranded at the airport with all my luggage at 11 PM. I thought I'd lost my money. SafeLegal helped me file a complaint with Consumer Affairs Victoria and pursue a chargeback through my bank. I got my full $800 back plus compensation for the hotel I had to book.

Karthik Reddy MBA in International Business • Singapore Contract & Agreement Issues

I signed an internship contract in Singapore without reading the fine print. The company included a $15,000 "training bond" that required me to work for them for 2 years after graduation or pay the penalty. As my graduation approached, I realized this would prevent me from returning to India or accepting other opportunities. SafeLegal's employment lawyer reviewed the contract and found the bond clause was unenforceable under Singapore law for internships. They negotiated my release with zero penalty. Always get contracts reviewed before signing.

Graduate Student| Toronto, Canada DUI Incidents

I made the biggest mistake of my life after a friend's birthday party. I thought I was fine to drive after two drinks, but I got pulled over. I was terrified – my study permit, my future, everything flashed before my eyes. I didn't know Canadian DUI laws and I was panicking about deportation. SafeLegal connected me with a lawyer within hours who specialized in student cases. They helped reduce the charges and kept my record from affecting my immigration status. My parents still don't know how close I came to ruining everything.

Rahul K. | Melbourne, Australia Undergraduate Student DUI Incidents

It happened during orientation week. I borrowed my roommate's car to get groceries, had one beer with dinner and got stopped at a random breath test checkpoint. In Australia, the limit is 0.05 and I was at 0.06. I didn't even feel drunk. The legal fees were going to cost me a semester's living expenses, but SafeLegal's lawyer helped me understand the process and got me a fine instead of a conviction. They saved my student visa.

Harsh V. | Berlin, Germany Graduate Student Contract & Agreement Issues

I signed an apartment contract entirely in German. I used Google Translate and thought I understood it. Turns out, I had agreed to pay for building maintenance, garbage collection and snow removal separately – an extra €150 per month I wasn't expecting. When the bills came, I was shocked. SafeLegal connected me with a German-speaking lawyer who reviewed the contract properly. They found the landlord hadn't provided a mandatory English translation. I got the extra charges waived and €900 refunded for past payments

Ananya S. | London, UK Doctoral Student Tenant/Housing Issues

My landlord kept my entire £1,500 security deposit, claiming 'damages' that were there when I moved in. As an international student, I had no idea about UK tenant rights. He knew I was desperate and wouldn't fight back. SafeLegal helped me file a claim with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme. I got back £1,200 – that was my flight home for Diwali. Without them, I would have just accepted the loss.

Vikram P. | Boston, USA Graduate Student Tenant/Housing Issues

Three months into my lease, the heating stopped working in January. My landlord ignored my emails and calls for two weeks. I was freezing and getting sick. I didn't know I could withhold rent or had any rights as a tenant. SafeLegal connected me with a local attorney who sent one legal notice and the heating was fixed within 48 hours. They also helped me get compensation for those weeks.

Neha D. | Vancouver, Canada Undergraduate Student Tenant/Housing Issues

My roommate situation turned toxic. She moved her boyfriend in without permission, they were loud at all hours and when I complained, they started threatening me. I wanted to break the lease but would've lost $3,000. SafeLegal's lawyer reviewed my agreement and found a clause about unauthorized occupants. I got out without penalty and found a safe place to live.

Arjun T. | Sydney, Australia Graduate Student Part-Time Work & Employment Issues

I was working 25-30 hours per week at a restaurant – my student visa only allowed 20 hours. I didn't realize I was violating my visa conditions until my employer suddenly fired me and threatened to report me to immigration when I asked for my unpaid wages ($2,400). I was terrified of deportation. SafeLegal helped me understand my rights. Yes, I had worked extra hours, but my employer had also exploited me with illegal pay rates. They helped me get my wages back without immigration consequences.

Meera G. | Dublin, Ireland Graduate Student Part-Time Work & Employment Issues

My 'internship' at a startup turned out to be an unpaid full-time job. They promised 'course credit' and 'experience' but I was doing actual work that others were paid for. When I asked about compensation after 3 months, they said 'that's not how internships work.' SafeLegal's consultation helped me realize this was wage theft. I filed a complaint with the Workplace Relations Commission and got €4,800 in back pay.

Rahul Kumar MBA Applicant • Toronto, Canada Visa Issues

My student visa application for Canada was rejected despite meeting all requirements. The consultancy I paid $3,500 refused to help with the appeal and said their job was done. I was devastated and didn't know what to do. SafeLegal connected me with an immigration attorney who reviewed my case, identified the issues and helped me file a successful appeal with additional documentation. My visa was approved on the second attempt. SafeLegal saved my dream of studying abroad.

Aditya Joshi MBA in Finance • Melbourne, Australia Education Fraud

I paid a "study abroad consultant" ₹2.5 lakhs for university applications and visa processing. After taking my money, they disappeared—phone switched off, office shut down. I had already resigned from my job to pursue my Master's. SafeLegal helped me file an FIR, trace the company directors and send legal notices. We recovered ₹1.8 lakhs through court mediation. They also guided me to apply to universities directly and I'm now studying in Australia without any agent.

Neha Kapoor MS in Computer Science • New York, USA Apartment Dispute

My roommate in New York suddenly moved out mid-lease, leaving me responsible for the entire $2,800 monthly rent. The landlord threatened to evict me and sue for the full amount. As an international student on a tight budget, this was a nightmare. SafeLegal's attorney reviewed my lease, negotiated with the landlord and helped me find a legal subletter. The issue was resolved without any financial penalty or legal action. I learned that even international students have tenant rights in the US.

Vikram Mehta BSc in Economics • London, UK Employment Rights

I was working part-time at a restaurant in London on my student visa (20 hours/week allowed). My employer suddenly fired me and refused to pay my last two weeks' wages—£680. They said as an international student, I had "no rights." I was scared to fight back thinking it might affect my visa. SafeLegal's employment solicitor assured me of my rights and sent a legal demand. I received my full payment plus interest within a week. Being an international student doesn't mean you can be exploited.

Pooja Gupta PhD in Biotechnology • California, USA Insurance Claim

I had a medical emergency in the US that resulted in $45,000 in hospital bills. My international student health insurance company denied my claim on a technicality, saying my condition was "pre-existing"—which was completely false. I was panicking about how to pay. SafeLegal's insurance attorney reviewed my policy, medical records and challenged the denial. After a formal appeal with legal backing, the insurance company paid the entire claim. SafeLegal literally saved me from medical bankruptcy.
