Terrible service.
Completely uninterested in my case.
Claimed that the consultation would cost almost as much as the charge.

Very efficient solliciters
This review is for a different branch.
I had an incident in my workplace. I called Duncan Lewis solliciters as a friend recommended them. From the first call they were very professional, responsive and helpful. They called if they said they would, they were punctual and patient in their explanations of the different processes I had to go through. I was informed and advised at every step.
Jacob and Sunjay are professional and kind people. I am very grateful they took care of my matter. I totally recommend them.

Highly recommend Ian Hurst for employment matters
This review is for a different branch.
A friend highly recommended Ian Hurst for an employment matter. These things can be very stressful. Not so if you have Ian by your side. His very efficient, no BS, clear approach really helped and all was sorted in no time, in my and my employer's interest and with peace of mind. He was quick to respond and react, this despite the fact that my matter wasn't a big case for him. Highly recommend, will pass on his details to friends and family.

Review for Sai Keerthana P.
This review is for a different branch.
I was an asylum seeker from Eritrea, and thanks to the dedicated support of Sai Keerthana P., I have now been granted refugee status.
Sai was incredibly professional and hardworking throughout my case. She always responded promptly to my questions, kept me informed, and prepared me well for my interview. Her support helped me stay calm and focused during a very stressful time.
I’m extremely happy with the outcome and truly grateful for everything she has done. Thank you so much, Sai!

Excellent
This review is for a different branch.
I had a great experience with Duncan Lewis Solicitors, and I would especially like to thank Shalini Mishra, who handled my case with exceptional dedication and care. She worked tirelessly to help me secure my UK residency, showing both professionalism and a deep understanding of the legal process.
Shalini was always responsible, responsive, and highly communicative. She took the time to keep me fully updated through regular online meetings, patiently answering my questions and ensuring I understood every step of the process. It was clear she genuinely cared about my case and put in a great deal of time and effort to get the best possible outcome.
I’m very grateful for her support and would highly recommend both Shalini Mishra and Duncan Lewis Solicitors to anyone seeking expert legal representation in immigration matters.

Exceptional Service by Sumedha Singaraju
I had the pleasure of working with Sumedha Singaraju as my caseworker, and I am truly grateful for her dedication, professionalism, and support throughout my case. From the very beginning, Sumedha showed genuine care and understanding of my situation. She was always available, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt confident at every step.
Sumedha gave 100% to my case and worked tirelessly to ensure everything was handled with care and precision. Her calm and reassuring approach gave me peace of mind, even during the most stressful moments. I felt that she truly cared about me as a person, not just as a client.
I’m fully satisfied with her service and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a reliable and compassionate caseworker. Thank you, Sumedha, for going above and beyond—I couldn’t have asked for better support

She treated me with respect. I only have good memories of Mrs Phong MA.
Thank you Mrs Phong MA. You put smile in my face.
