It was a pleasure to have this law firm on my side, through the roughly road, there was a light at the end of my hearing. Happy I got my baby in our care. Thank you

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.

I am very grateful for Caroline Roche's support regarding a will and associated legal proceedings. Her guidance was so strong and steady, but it was her compassion and empathy that truly stood out. I honestly would have been lost without her during those final 12 months. During her pregnancy when things were finalizing through the court, she was under a lot of pressure whilst still supporting me, when she should have been having a much easier time. It is a testament to her professionalism and kindness that she remained so focused on our needs. I feel privileged to have had her as our legal counsel.

I am writing this review to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude for the outstanding service and support provided by my caseworker, Donnelly Clata Mazarello, throughout my children’s case. From the very beginning, Donnelly demonstrated exceptional professionalism, dedication, and compassion, making an incredibly challenging time in my life much more manageable. My case was handled with the utmost care, attention, and efficiency. Donnelly ensured that every aspect was managed thoroughly and in a timely manner. The process was smooth and well-organized, with no detail overlooked. I always felt confident that my case was in the best possible hands. Donnelly went above and beyond to make me feel supported, respected, and understood. She displayed genuine empathy and patience, taking the time to listen carefully to my concerns and explaining each step of the process clearly. Her calm and reassuring approach made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire experience. The quality of communication was exceptional. Donnelly maintained regular contact through phone calls and emails, ensuring that I was always informed and updated on any developments. She was always prompt in responding to any queries and explained everything in a clear, concise, and professional manner. I never once felt left out of the loop or uncertain about what was happening. The level of service I received was exemplary. Donnelly was consistently available, approachable, and responsive whenever I needed assistance. She managed her time and commitments impeccably, ensuring that I always received the support and attention required. Her reliability and consistency provided great reassurance throughout my case. Donnelly’s professionalism and depth of legal knowledge were evident at every stage. She demonstrated a strong understanding of family law and procedures, providing clear guidance and well-considered advice. Her expertise inspired confidence and helped me make informed decisions with peace of mind. Moreover, Donnelly secured the services of a barrister to appear for me at the court hearing. The barrister, along with Donnelly and the entire legal team, worked seamlessly together to ensure the best possible outcome. They were all supportive, diligent, and highly professional throughout the process. Overall, my experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Everything was handled smoothly, efficiently, and with the highest level of professionalism.

Donnelly Mazarello

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Duncan Lewis Solicitors, and in particular to Shalini Mishra, who handled my case with exceptional professionalism, care, and attention to detail. From the beginning, Shalini was incredibly supportive and reassuring. She took the time to clearly explain each step of the legal process, always ensuring that I felt informed and confident. Her communication was consistent and thoughtful whether by phone, email, and video conference, I always felt that I was being listened to and respected. What stood out most was Shalini’s dedication and empathy. She treated my case not just as a legal matter, but as something personal and important. Her legal knowledge, patience, and determination gave me a sense of comfort during what was otherwise a very stressful time. I truly appreciate the quality of service I received from Duncan Lewis Solicitors. They were available when I needed them, professional in all interactions, and demonstrated genuine care for my wellbeing and outcome. Thank you once again for everything you’ve done for me. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Duncan Lewis, especially Shalini Mishra, to anyone in need of legal support.

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)

Raj Vardhan Choubey handled my case with professionalism and solid legal knowledge. He was clear in explaining the process and made complex matters easier to understand. Communication was generally good, though responses could sometimes be quicker. Overall, he’s a capable and trustworthy solicitor who shows genuine care for his clients

My case was complex and difficult. I sincerely thank you for using your professional skills to help me through it.

I consider it a wonderful experience because of the good attention and quick response. You can place an advertisement for companies with the name... We are the best because you really have a cadre of experienced and caring lawyers.
