I had an excellent experience with Duncan Lewis Solicitors, especially with Chirayuwan Singh Rathore. My housing case was handled professionally from start to finish, and I always felt supported and reassured throughout the process. Communication was excellent, with prompt responses to calls, emails, and letters, and I was kept updated every step of the way. Chirayuwan was always available when needed, highly knowledgeable, and provided outstanding legal advice.

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 S Muneer, Thank you for your thoughtful review. We are very pleased to hear that our team provided you with effective advice and support. Our team works hard to ensure every client feels informed and confident throughout the process. Kind regards, Duncan Lewis Solicitors
I contacted them after being given the number to seek help from them with my housing matter. And after explaining my situation and taking all my details (if I work , how much do I get paid… which I don’t find correct to give all these information), I received an email that in one week I will be contacted to discuss and they were going to give me some advices if not able to take my case. I called them after two weeks not contact, and saying they will call me when a lawyer with check all the information . And just last Saturday after 3 weeks waiting , they sent me an email “ our team has considered your enquiry and we write to confirm that we do not have the capacity to take on your case” . And no any additional information or advice given.
Dear anonymous We are sorry to hear about your experience and would appreciate the opportunity to look into this matter further. If you could kindly contact our Client Care Team at ClientCareTeam@duncanlewis.com, we would be happy to discuss this with you and address any concerns. Kind regards, Duncan Lewis Solicitors
I am beyond thankful to this firm for saving us from the abuses of our local housing authority while in a nightmare temporary accommodation. My mental health was on the brink when Shelter referred me to this firm and the action from Eliza Thighearnaigh was swift. She was a huge support over the phone and communication was regular and open. She listened and expressed my needs in legal terms when making requirements of the council. Sailaja Tadepalli was handed the case and she made regular contact to make sure I felt supported and to check-in to make sure my needs were being met. She was communicative and gave concise advice when advising how I communicate with the council. I am immensely grateful for the help and assistance of both these solicitors. Thank you to Duncan Lewis.
Dear SJ We are delighted to hear that our team was able to support you through such a challenging time. We will ensure your message is passed on to them. Thank you for choosing Duncan Lewis. Kind regards, Duncan Lewis Solicitors Ltd
I had a very positive experience with Duncan Lewis Solicitors and would highly recommend their services. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, I was successful in winning my case. Both Mr Amandeep Bains and Mr Amrit Nehal, who assisted me throughout the process, were exceptional. They demonstrated strong legal knowledge and guided me clearly through each stage of my case. I always felt reassured that my matter was in capable hands. Communication was excellent—whether by phone or email, responses were prompt, clear, and informative. I was kept updated regularly, which made the whole process much less stressful. The level of service and availability was outstanding. They were approachable, patient, and took the time to explain everything in a way I could easily understand. Their professionalism and dedication really stood out. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the service I received and truly appreciate the support provided. I would not hesitate to recommend Duncan Lewis Solicitors to anyone in need of legal assistance.

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.

No response to initial enquiry or follow-up email – disappointing service for urgent tribunal matter I contacted Duncan Lewis Solicitors on 1 April 2026 requesting urgent solicitor representation for an ongoing Employment Tribunal claim with a linked social housing dispute. I clearly explained that I am currently out of work, have already submitted an ET1 and received the ET3 response, and urgently need experienced legal counsel to prepare for the initial hearing. I have substantial evidence and asked to explore Legal Aid eligibility or suitable funding options. I received an automated reply the same day confirming my details had been forwarded to the relevant team. It provided Client Referral ID Number 285621087 and stated that someone would contact me “at their earliest opportunity during office hours”. I sent a polite follow-up email asking for an update, but have received no response to either my original enquiry or the follow-up. It is now 9 April 2026 — over a full week later — and I have had zero contact whatsoever: no phone call, no email, and no acknowledgement. This complete lack of follow-up from a firm that advertises itself as a top-tier Legal 500 and Chambers-ranked practice is very disappointing. When someone facing active tribunal proceedings, significant stress, and an urgent need for professional representation reaches out, basic communication and timely response should be the minimum standard. The silence has left me feeling ignored and more overwhelmed at a time when I most need reliable legal support to move my case forward and seek justice. I don't know if the firm is going through a difficult period, but this is how I have been treated so far. I wanted to share this honest review to help other potential clients make an informed decision. My name is Bradley. Client Referral ID: 285621087 (enquiry sent 1 April 2026)

I would like to thank all the teams from Duncan Lewis for helping me through each step of events regarding my complex family law case. As someone who has never dealt with solicitors and legal proceedings before, they made it extremely easy for me to navigate and removed a lot of stress by guiding the whole process. I would like to make a special mention to paralegals Elizabeth Beasley and Hannah Anene who are led by Jaspreet Rai. As a team they have helped me understand complex legal issues, represented me fantastically and supported me through a very difficult time. Knowing I have Jaspreet, Elizabeth and Hannah in my corner gives me great confidence that my case will yield positive results for both me and my family. Thanks Duncan Lewis.
