Grateful for the Dedicated Support from Ducan Lewis Solicitors Ltd

I would like to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the ongoing support I am receiving throughout my asylum case from Ducan Lewis. I am especially grateful to Mr. RajVardhan Choubey, who has been handling my case with exceptional professionalism, care, and dedication. His respectful and compassionate approach, along with his prompt and clear communication through phone calls and emails, has been very reassuring. His legal expertise, patience, and ability to explain complex matters in a simple and reassuring way have given me confidence and peace of mind. I truly value the high-quality service and support provided by both Mr. RajVardhan and the entire team at Ducan Solicitors. I highly recommend Ducan Solicitors to others seeking reliable and compassionate legal support.

I am glad and don’t regret to have joined Duncan Lewis solicitors.

William Harding – Truly Exceptional


I’m incredibly grateful to William Harding for the exceptional support he provided during my housing case. From day one, he worked tirelessly, always made himself available to answer my questions, and ensured I felt supported and informed throughout the entire process. His dedication and work ethic were second to none.

What truly set William apart was his genuine care and commitment. He didn’t treat my case as just another file, he approached it with real passion and determination. Thanks to his efforts, we not only secured everything we requested, but achieved an outcome that went above and beyond my expectations.

I also want to commend Duncan Lewis Solicitors as a whole. The firm is truly impressive, professional, reliable, and clearly dedicated to achieving the best possible results for their clients. I couldn’t have asked for better representation.

Wajma Zazai

Wajma was acting as duty solicitor at Romford County Court. Not only was she kind and empathetic, but gave clear and concise advice as to what would happen during the course of the hearing and what steps could be taken to assist us. Wajma was clearly well respected amongst the Court staff and other legal professionals alike, and I'm incredibly grateful for the help and support she offered.

Excellent legal service – highly recommend

I had the pleasure of working with Mrs Alleena Akhtar from this London-based law firm, and I could not be more pleased with the level of service I received.

Mrs Alleena Akhtar demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep legal knowledge, and a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome.

From start to finish, he was responsive, clear in her communication, and highly organised. I felt informed and supported at every stage of the process. Her ability to navigate complex legal matters with clarity and precision was truly impressive.

I would not hesitate to recommend Mrs Alleena Akhtar and his firm to anyone in need of reliable and high-quality legal advice in the UK. Thank you again for your dedication and excellence.

Forever thankful for your dedication

I cannot really express fully how thankful I am to Duncan Lewis and especially Sophie Rayment and Jade Whitelaw. There are no words that can describe how grateful you trully are, to the people that gave you back a little bit of control of your life and freedom. The knowledge, commitment and work they have put into my "eventful" case (as described by my barrister), doesn't go unnoticed. If I ever had to go back to court (although I hope it will not happen), I would be definitely coming back. Once again, massive THANK YOU for all your hard work.

I cannot say much about the cost as I had Legal Aid. It was estimated to cost £10,000. At this point, I don't know if it was more or less than that 10k.

Review for Raj Vardhan Choubey

I had the pleasure of working withRaj Vardhan Choubey, and I can confidently say that the level of service I received was outstanding. From the very beginning, he handled my case with great care.

He made me feel reassured and supported throughout the entire process, always taking the time to explain things clearly and answer any questions I had. The communication was efffective — whether it was through phone calls, emails.

What stood out the most was his legal knowledge and how confidently he approached every step of the case. He was always available when I needed assistance and kept me well-informed at all times.

I’m truly grateful for the support and guidance Raj Vardhan Choubey provided. If you’re ever in need of legal help, I highly recommend requesting him specifically.

Thank you again, Raj, for everything!

I’m a close family friend of the client and was involved in supporting their case by helping with translation and connecting them to the right legal help. I want to take a moment to commend Sai Raja Harika Vinnakota for the way she handled everything from start to finish.

She approached the case with professionalism, care, and clarity. Even when language or cultural barriers came up, she was incredibly patient and respectful, making sure the client fully understood the process and felt heard. It made a real difference knowing that she truly cared about the outcome and my friend's wellbeing.

I’m truly grateful we were able to work with her and would highly recommend Sai Raja Harika Vinnakota to anyone looking for trustworthy legal support.
