Amazing Family court solicitors

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.

Thank you Ms Claire Wells and the Team at Duncan Lewis Solicitors

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.

Excellent and Professional Legal Support

I highly recommend Naveed Ahmed Jaral for his professionalism, knowledge and dedication. He handled my Occupation Order matter with care and professionalism and achieved an excellent outcome. I always felt that my concerns were taken seriously and that my case was in capable hands. I am very grateful for his hard work and support and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

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.

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.

Duncan Lewis is the most competent law firm i have been with. I had complex cases and Allena with Vicash and their team have done their best to get the positive outcome. All of the other solicitors said they cant help me or do anything for me but this firm was confident with their stand. Good work ethics, very timely and professional 👏👏👏
