Fortunate to have chosen Duncan Lewis Solicitors!

I was very fortunate to have chosen Duncan Lewis Solicitors as my representatives to deal with my eviction matter. Ms Bernadette Chikwe handled my case very professionally, with legal knowledge and care that made feel like a human being! She explained to me in a simple and concrete manner what I had to provide and the possible outcome which was the best I wished for. She was always there for me, ready to listen to my worries and qualms. I am ever so grateful to her and recommend Duncan Lewis Solicitors unreservedly.

Excellent solicitors, very attentive & efficient

I was given the details of Duncan Lewis solicitors as they dealt with Legal Aid. I was contacted immediately and assigned to Tayyaba Ahmad.
I cannot thank Tayyaba Ahmad enough for the incredible support she provided me during one of the most emotional and difficult times in my life. As a solicitor at Duncan Lewis Solicitors, Tayyaba not only demonstrated exceptional legal expertise but also showed an extraordinary level of empathy and understanding.

From the moment I reached out to her, she made me feel heard and supported. She took the time to listen to my concerns, ensuring that I understood all my options and the legal process ahead. Her clear communication and patience were a godsend, especially when I was feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to move forward.

Throughout the entire process, Tayyaba was always there for me—whether it was to provide advice, answer my endless questions, or simply reassure me that everything would work out. She handled my case with meticulous attention to detail, and her thoughtful, strategic approach gave me the confidence to navigate through the emotional challenges I was facing.

What stood out to me most was her ability to balance professionalism with genuine care. She wasn’t just a solicitor handling my case; she was someone I could trust and rely on, and it felt like she truly had my best interests at heart. Thanks to her dedication and hard work, I felt supported every step of the way, and in the end, I got the outcome I was hoping for.

Tayyaba Ahmad’s personal touch, coupled with her legal expertise, made all the difference during such a difficult period in my life. I am forever grateful for her help, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking not only a skilled solicitor but also someone who truly cares about their clients.

I would not hesitate to contact Tayyaba again.

I had the pleasure of working with Poorvi Sharma as my legal aid advisor for my asylum case, and I couldn't be more grateful for her support. she was a great listener, always taking the time to understand my situation thoroughly. She kept me consistently updated, promptly replied to my questions, and made sure I was well-informed throughout the process. Poorvi also conducted several interviews
for my case in a highly professional and respectful manner, which helped me feel more confident and prepared. Her dedication and clear communication made a difficult time much easier. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal support.

My name is Kambis

I just want to say a huge thank you to Duncan Lewis Solicitors for helping me through my asylum process. Honestly, I didn’t expect things to go so smoothly, but thanks to their guidance and support, everything was handled much quicker and easier than I thought.

I’m especially grateful to my caseworker, Sai Keerthana. She kept in regular contact, explained everything in a way I could easily understand, and made sure all the paperwork was in order and submitted on time. Her kindness and professionalism made a big difference during a really stressful period.

Massive thanks to the whole Duncan Lewis team – and especially to Sai keerthana – for being so amazing!

Dear Ms. Kousini Gupta
The esteemed and dedicated team at Duncan Lewis Solicitors,

Warm greetings and deep respect,

Words fall short of expressing the heartfelt gratitude I feel for your kindness, support, and tireless efforts. During the darkest and most uncertain days of my life—filled with fear, vulnerability, and hopelessness—you, Ms. Kousini Gupta, appeared as a beacon of light and hope.

You are not only a highly professional solicitor, but also a compassionate, noble human being and a true defender of those whose voices often go unheard. Your patience, precision, knowledge, and unwavering dedication to my case will remain forever engraved in my heart and memory.

Every message, every call, and every action taken by you reflected a deep sense of responsibility, professional ethics, and genuine humanity. With your calm and reassuring presence, you lifted me from a place of despair and helped me find strength, stability, and hope for a brighter future.

From the depths of my heart, I sincerely thank you, Ms. Kousini Gupta, and every esteemed member of the Duncan Lewis Solicitors team. My heartfelt prayers and those of my family will always accompany you. May you always be blessed with success, good health, and honor in every step of your life—just as you have uplifted and inspired the lives of so many.

With deepest respect, gratitude, and appreciation,
[Abdullah Joya]
