When I decided to apply for asylum, from the first consultation with Hina via the online meeting, Hina believed in my claim without requesting any type of evidence. She told me, "If you are unable to pay for the service, I am willing to support your application in full." For me, I informed her that I’m working online independently and I’ll be able to pay. Hina knew my case is complex and hard to prove my claims, so she guided and helped me. For several times, Hina was working during the weekdays and the weekends. She sent me emails after 1:00 AM in the morning, and finally, within two months since I applied for asylum, my application to the Home Office was accepted as a refugee without requesting any evidence or an applicant's asylum statement. I only did the first screening, then within one month, the Home Office emailed me with my first interview, and today I’m officially a resident.I didn’t use any public social media platforms to prove my claims; I just hired Hina. I always followed her advice and I never argued with her. I just asked her all the time, "Do you think I should do these things?" She always responded with honesty, "Thamer, the decision is up to you, but I think you should do it." So I always trusted her because she never let me down and always recommended the right things for me. Lastly, Hina Kargar will be, one day, well-known globally because she’s the most powerful woman I have dealt with in my entire life. Thank you, Hina Kargar. You helped me to achieve my childhood dream, and you know that I came to the UK for a vacation for two weeks, and then you also know why I decided to apply for asylum. I decided to celebrate my victory today in my own way. I purchased an England football shirt and printed your name on it, including the number three, which matches 03/06/2026—the day you informed me that the Home Office accepted my application. Whenever I wear this T-shirt, I want people to read your name so they can know who is behind me: the most powerful woman, Hina Kargar. Thanks, Thamer Altaher

Dear anonymous We are happy to hear that Immigration Director Darren Middleton was able to support you effectively and that you felt reassured throughout the process. Kind regards, Duncan Lewis Solicitors
I would like to share my experience with Duncan Lewis Solicitors regarding my complex immigration matter. From the very beginning, their professionalism and dedication stood out. My case was highly complex and extremely time-sensitive. It involved serious Home Office delays, errors in service of documents, contradictory decisions, and urgent family circumstances. Despite all of this, the team handled everything with exceptional clarity, structure, and confidence. They demonstrated deep knowledge of immigration law and adopted a clear, strategic approach that gave me real hope when I needed it most. A special thank you to Solicitor Alleena Akhtar and Director Tamana Aziz. Their support throughout this process has been truly outstanding. Alleena Akhtar made me feel genuinely supported, understood, and cared for at every stage even when I was anxious and thousands of miles away in Nigeria. The level of duty of care I received was immaculate. She was consistently attentive, responsive, and genuinely committed to my case. Communication was excellent emails and letters were always clear, timely, and easy to understand, and she responded quickly even during urgent periods. The quality of service and availability was first-class. They were always available when I needed them and handled every step with precision, urgency, and compassion. What impressed me most is how clearly they know what they are doing in immigration cases. Their experience and legal knowledge shine through in the way they manage difficult situations and fight for the right outcome. If you are dealing with any immigration issue especially one involving Home Office errors, delays, or urgent family circumstances Duncan Lewis Solicitors are the best. I would strongly recommend them to anyone who wants their case handled professionally, expertly, and with real care. You will be in safe, experienced hands and given the support you need to achieve the right result. I am truly grateful for everything they have done for me and my family. Thank you again.

I had a very positive experience with Duncan Lewis Solicitors, and I would especially like to thank my caseworker Swarnika Goyal, who was truly the best representative I could have hoped for. From the moment I applied for asylum in October 2024 until I received refugee status in March 2026, Swarnika handled everything with great professionalism, carefully preparing my statements, following up with the Home Office, and always responding quickly. At one point when I was facing relocation that was seriously affecting my mental health, I truly felt that she and the firm were doing everything they could to support and defend my situation. I am very grateful for her support. I would also like to thank Solicitor Bahar Ata and the team at Duncan Lewis Solicitors. I highly recommend them.

Mr Patel helped me in a very complex case regarding family law matters and children matters, Mr Patel always communicated with me in both phone calls and emails to make sure I understood what was happening and if I had any "instructions" to give him. He has a legal knowledge that is beyond what I have ever seen, my case has been ongoing for years, but Mr Patel has a patience that is admirable and over and over he explained to me even when I didnt or couldn't comprehend it myself , the situation, or understand. Mr Patel always had me and my children's best interest and he made sure legally I was aware of my rights.. Mr Patel went beyond for us, I will always be grateful and remember what he did for me. Kindest Regards N.P
stressfull experience- My experience with Nicole francisco at duncan was disappointing . throughoout my family lawmatter , i experience significant delays , lack of support and poor communication. she bever understood the case and repeatedly explained the case updates chashing for inofrmation. I raised formal and writted complaints and the replay was either supervisor on the case has left the firm or the solictor is new, why would you assign big case to unexperience lawyers , they charge you advance and they will charge you till the last penny when you raise concern. ,would not recommend this firm and especially if you are dealing with the above mentioned solicitor .
I cannot recommend Jade Whitelaw highly enough. She represented me in relation to a Non-Molestation Order and Occupation Order and handled my case with exceptional care, professionalism, and compassion throughout. Jade was attentive from the very beginning, taking the time to listen carefully and ensure that every detail of my situation was properly understood. She was incredibly patient and thorough when taking my statement, guiding me through the process with sensitivity and reassurance during what was an extremely difficult and emotional time. Her expertise, dedication, and attention to detail helped me achieve a positive outcome, and I always felt supported and well-informed at every stage of the proceedings. Jade's calm and compassionate approach made a challenging situation much more manageable, and I am truly grateful for all of her hard work and support. Thank you, Jade, for your professionalism, kindness, and commitment to securing the best possible result for me. Kristiana Thomas

I am very grateful for the ongoing support I continue to receive from Duncan Lewis Solicitors Ltd, especially from Bansari Mevcha, who has represented me across multiple ongoing family law matters, including Financial Remedies. Dealing with family, children, and divorce matters can be incredibly stressful and emotionally challenging, but throughout the process I have felt genuinely supported, listened to, and reassured. Bansari has always been professional, approachable, and understanding. She explains everything clearly in a way that is easy to understand and provides practical and honest advice which has helped me make informed decisions during a very difficult time. I have always been kept updated on my matters, and communication has consistently been timely, professional, and reassuring. What I appreciate most is her calm and supportive manner alongside her strong legal knowledge and commitment to my case. The support I continue to receive has made a difficult situation much easier to navigate, and I feel confident that my matters are being handled with care and professionalism. I would definitely recommend Duncan Lewis Solicitors, and Bansari Mevcha to anyone needing reliable and supportive family law representation.
