I cannot thank Duncan Lewis Solicitors enough for their incredible help in successfully winning my housing suitability review. A special thank you goes to my caseworker, Chirayuwan Singh Rathore, who has been absolutely amazing, supportive, and professional from start to finish. Navigating a complex housing crisis was incredibly overwhelming. However, Chirayuwan made sure I never felt alone in this fight.

Frank Oppong handled my case with professionalism and understanding, and kept me updated in a timely manner from start to finish. I felt I was advised well and that my concerns were truly listened to, which lead to a favourable outcome. I would most certainly recommend this firm, and Frank Oppong in particular.

I cannot thank Amrit Nahal enough for everything he did for me and my family. I had been living in unsuitable temporary accommodation for a long time, and the situation was having a huge impact on both my wellbeing and my children’s lives. From the start, Amrit listened to my concerns, took my case seriously, and fought tirelessly on my behalf. He was professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, and always kept me informed throughout the process. Whenever I had questions or worries, he took the time to explain things clearly and made me feel supported. Thanks to Amrit’s hard work and dedication, my case was successfully challenged and I was finally moved from accommodation that had been found unsuitable. My children and I are now living in a much better home, and I genuinely believe we would not be where we are today without his help. Amrit went above and beyond for my family, and I will always be grateful for the difference he has made to our lives. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing housing or homelessness legal support. He is an outstanding solicitor who truly cares about his clients and works incredibly hard to achieve the best possible outcome. Thank you, Amrit, for everything you have done for us. — Maria

I had a very positive experience throughout my real estate matter. She was professional, clear, patient, and very helpful from start to finish. Property and legal processes can be stressful, but she explained everything in a simple way, kept things moving, and made sure I understood what was happening at each stage. Communication was smooth, and I felt supported whenever I had questions or needed guidance. She handled the matter with care, attention to detail, and a calm, reassuring approach. I would happily recommend her to anyone needing a reliable solicitor for real estate or property-related work.

Dear Davida, Thank you for your review and recommendation. We’re pleased to hear you were happy with the professional support you received. Your feedback is greatly appreciated by the team. Kind regards, Duncan Lewis Solicitors
I am deeply shocked and appalled by the cold, unprofessional treatment I received from Duncan Lewis. My complex housing and public law case involving a rogue landlord, Hackney Council, and an NHS data breach was formally accepted by caseworker Samiira Mohamed and her senior supervisor. Because of my dangerous living environment, my vital medical surgery had to be cancelled by the hospital. Duncan Lewis had full written proof of this emergency. Last Monday (10th), Samiira emailed me to state she was leaving the firm but explicitly promised my file was being reallocated to a colleague. Instead, I was left in complete silence for two weeks. I explicitly stated to this firm in my emails that "silence becomes part of the harm." When I finally forced the issue and called them today, I was casually dropped over the phone and told they "don't have the capacity" to take my case. To accept an extremely vulnerable client, leave them trapped in a detrimental environment for weeks, and then abandon them via a standard switchboard message due to internal staff turnover is a severe failure of professional duty of care. Absolute corporate coldness. I be been through absolute hell and the way I have been treated has been shocking and then the Law Firm who accepted my case did exactly that continued the harm. And it’s has deeply broken me. I don’t actually know if I have the energy or the belief to continue this hell I’m in. Devastated doesn’t cut it. And what makes it worse is I had a generic response saying my case couldn’t be taken on and the caseworker reassured me that it was just automatic. So whilst I’ve felt very much trapped in a burning building. To be told no we have your case. And then ghosted and dropped really really was the ultimate whiplash. Thank you Duncan Lewis you really have thrown me into an even darker hole.

Its Elvana and i just had a case with Duncan Lewis Solicitors. My case was handled extremely well from start to finish. The team was supportive, thorough, and professional throughout the whole process. They took the time to understand my situation and worked very hard to achieve the best possible outcome for me. I am extremely grateful for all their help and support. My lawyer and my caseworker Sailaja Tadepalli and Manjinder Kaur Atwal, the director who made me feel reassured, supported, and in safe hands. During what was a stressful and difficult time, they were always patient, understanding, and approachable. The communication was excellent. Phone calls and emails were handled promptly, and everything was explained clearly and in a way that was easy to understand. I was always kept informed about what was happening with my case, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. They were always helpful and available whenever I needed advice or had questions. Their professionalism and legal knowledge were exceptional. I felt confident that my case was in very capable hands. They were knowledgeable, organised, professional, and genuinely committed to helping me. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a solicitor who truly cares about their clients.

Clarissa Thompson -Grobelny was my housing solicitor dealing with the tenancy agreement transfer.Communication was great she will send emails, messages on WhatsApp or even call me to let me know the progress of the case,explaining everything to me. She will always find a solution when Croydon council was making everything difficult for the transfer of the tenancy agreement. She was very professional and human too. The funny part is the case was so well built that we won the case.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my solicitor, Ms Hema Yaramachu, for all the support, care and professionalism she has shown me throughout my case. She handled my case with great professionalism, followed every stage carefully, and supported me whenever I needed help. I am genuinely very happy with her work, and words cannot express how grateful I am for all her efforts, patience and understanding. She is a dedicated solicitor who takes her work seriously and truly cares about her clients. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, supportive and trustworthy solicitor. Thank you so much, Hema, for everything you have done for me. I wish you continued success in your career. 🙏
Absolutely shocking behaviour from a law firm, I've never known a Solicitors to be so unprofessional in their conduct, if you have an urgent case do not use these people, they have no urgency and have awful communication skills, very disappointing and actually shocking.
It was the best experience, and I thank him for the success of my case. His professionalism was excellent, his approach and creativity were exceptional, and his dedication to my case, his handling of it, and the numerous interviews ensured its success. I was certain the case would be successful because he is intelligent and has the right way of handling things. Thank you again for the success of my case.
Excellent service from Duncan Lewis Solicitors, especially Sowmeya Burka. She was professional, supportive, and kept me guided and adviced throughout my case. Moreover, her clear communication and dedication helped achieve a successful outcome much sooner than expected. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a reliable immigration solicitor. She had all the qualities you would want in an outstanding solicitor. Thank you for your outstanding support 🙏.
This is the word company to deal with where ; Tom does not know what Harry is doing . They claimed to be one of the best ! I cannot even give them one star rating ! It took more than 2/3 months for them to acknowledge my request and whenever I have phoned them they told me within 48 hours they will contact me ! After 2/3 months I got a response to say they don't have capacity to deal with my request! 2/3 months is just wasted !
In my opinion, he was the best lawyer. He had experience, a good and unique way of dealing with people, and was meticulous in his work. I thank him very much because he helped me with my case and organized it. He has good experience. I advise everyone to deal with him because his approach and handling of cases are different. Thank you to him for the success of my case.
I turned to Duncan Lewis during one of the most difficult times in my life. I was fortunate to have an initial meeting with Hina and Tamana, and even more grateful when they agreed to take on my case and Hina played a pivotal role in managing it. Thanks to their dedication, expertise, and in-depth knowledge of immigration matters, along with Hina skilful handling of every requirement, I was granted Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), despite the many challenges people face with immigration matters these days. I am truly grateful to Hina for her invaluable support, patience, passion and professionalism throughout the process.
