Premal Patel was my solicitor and he was extremely efficient, empathetic and supportive. Throughout my time working with him, he explained every step in a way I would understand and helped me feel braver and stronger when approaching court hearings. Very hardworking and great at communicating. Grateful to all his dedication to working my case.

I highly recommend Ms Claire Wells to anyone who needs professional, reliable legal support. She was incredibly hardworking, dedicated, and professional throughout my case. She always responded to my communications promptly and kept me informed at every stage, which gave me great reassurance during a difficult time. She is naturally very kind, understanding, and genuinely supportive. I am especially grateful for her efforts in applying for Legal Aid on my behalf to cover the legal costs of family law matters and for working so diligently to secure a positive outcome in my case. Thank you for your dedication, professionalism, and compassion. I truly appreciate everything you have done for my children and me, and would not hesitate to recommend your services to others. A big thank you also to Katie Livermore, who was incredibly supportive and helpful while Claire was on leave.
It’s especially rewarding to hear when our support has made a difference not only to a client, but to their family too.

I would like to start with a huge thank you to Aleksandra Sawicka, who supported me throughout what was an extremely difficult family court case. From the beginning, Aleksandra took the time to listen and understand my circumstances, providing clear legal guidance and a wealth of knowledge that was instrumental in helping me navigate the complexities of the family court systems. She approached everything with professionalism and compassion, while ensuring that my concerns and, most importantly, my safety remained central throughout. I am also very grateful to the wider team of legal representatives and barristers involved in my case. Their combined expertise and dedication played an important role in helping me achieve the best and safest possible outcome. I would particularly recommend Aleksandra and the team to anyone facing a difficult family court case, especially cases involving domestic abuse or complex safeguarding concerns. Having the right legal support during such a challenging time can make an enormous difference, and I am extremely grateful for everything they did for me.

I would highly recommend **Syma Tayyab** at Duncan Lewis Solicitors. Syma handled my family court case with professionalism, dedication, and compassion from start to finish. She was always approachable, kept me fully informed, responded promptly to my emails and queries, and explained every stage of the legal process clearly. My case involved complex safeguarding issues and a substantial amount of evidence. Syma worked diligently to prepare my case, liaised effectively with counsel, and always acted in my best interests. Thanks to her hard work and excellent preparation, the court granted me direct contact with my son, which was a significant milestone in my case. I am extremely grateful for the outstanding service and support I received and would not hesitate to recommend **Syma Tayyab** to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, dedicated, and professional family law solicitor.

Excellent lawyer (shout out to Sandra) for ensuring my mother’s divorce process (Ms Anita Advani) went as smoothly as possible. I will be using this firm, hopefully, in the event of a family law situation. I feel more protected knowing there is a caring law firm out there for me.

What a fantastic result. We’re glad that Angelique and Tamana recognised the merits of your case and were able to support you in challenging the visa refusal. Achieving a successful administrative review after previously approaching several firms must have been particularly meaningful. Thank you for recognising the work and effort they put into your matter. We wish you all the very best moving forward, and thank you for choosing Duncan Lewis Solicitors.
I cannot recommend Kirsty highly enough. She was professional, compassionate and supportive throughout my entire case. She always made me feel heard, kept me informed and treated my situation with genuine care and understanding. Although this may have been one case among many for her, for me it was something that had a huge impact on my life and my child’s future. Kirsty never made me feel like just another case. She treated it with the seriousness and importance it deserved. I’m incredibly grateful for her hard work, dedication and reassurance throughout the process. We achieved the outcome we wanted, and I couldn’t have asked for a better solicitor to represent me. Thank you, Kirsty, for everything you’ve done.

Her ability to combine professionalism with compassion and personal care clearly made a lasting difference to your experience. We’re delighted that the matter reached the outcome you were hoping for and wish you and your child all the very best moving forward. Thank you for choosing Duncan Lewis Solicitors.

Review by Sardar sufizada ★★★★★ I am very happy with the support I received from my caseworker, Isha Darpan Kothari, during my asylum claim. She has been very helpful, professional and understanding throughout the process. From the start, she listened carefully to my situation and gave me the time to explain everything properly. She was always patient when I had questions and explained things to me in a way that I could understand. I never felt rushed when speaking with her. I really appreciated how carefully she worked on my case. She helped me organise my information, explained what was needed and made sure I understood the important parts of the process. The asylum process can be very stressful, but her support made me feel more comfortable and confident. I am especially grateful for her patience and the way she treated me with respect. I felt that she took my situation seriously and genuinely wanted to help me. Whenever I was worried or unsure about something, she was there to guide me. Overall, I am very satisfied with the service I received from Isha Darpan Kothari. She has done a very good job for me, and I really appreciate her hard work and support. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs help with an asylum or immigration case. Thank you, Isha, for all your help and support. I am very happy with your work and really appreciate everything you have done for me. ★★★★★
Dear Sai Raja Harika Vinnakota and Gemma Lynch, Your remarkable proficiency, dedication, and expertise have truly changed my life.

My asylum lawyer was Shashank, and he was an excellent and respectable person. I recommend him.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I honestly cannot recommend Rita highly enough. From the very beginning, she handled my case with such professionalism, care and attention, while also being incredibly down-to-earth, friendly and approachable. Over the weeks that we worked together, we built a fantastic relationship. I felt an instant connection with Rita and always felt completely comfortable speaking openly and honestly with her. She has a wonderful way of making you feel at ease, while at the same time giving you complete confidence that your case is in extremely capable hands. Her communication throughout was exceptional. Whether by email or phone, Rita always kept me informed, explained everything clearly and made herself available whenever I needed advice or reassurance. I never felt like I was just another client… she genuinely listened, understood my situation and made me feel supported every step of the way. Rita’s professionalism and legal knowledge are outstanding. She gave me clear, honest and practical advice throughout my case, always explaining the reasoning behind it and what she believed would give me the best possible outcome. I trusted her judgement, took her advice on board and followed it and I am so glad that I did, as we achieved the best outcome I could have hoped for. What really sets Rita apart is that she combines excellent legal knowledge and professionalism with genuine warmth and kindness. She is someone you can trust, talk to and rely on during what can otherwise be an incredibly stressful experience. I am genuinely so grateful to Rita for everything she did for me. An exceptional solicitor and a genuinely lovely person. I would recommend her without hesitation. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
