Housing Appeal Won – Thank You Miranda and Toby”

I cannot thank Miranda, my solicitor, and Toby Venhegan, my barrister, enough for their incredible support throughout my housing appeal. They were professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated from start to finish, always keeping me informed and fighting on my behalf. Thanks to their hard work and expertise, we won the appeal. I am truly grateful for everything they did and would highly recommend them to anyone needing legal representation.

I had a very positive experience with Duncan Lewis Solicitors, especially with Denny Joseph Derasahayam

From the beginning, Denny Joseph Derasahayam was supportive, respectful, and understanding.

Not helpful

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.

I cannot praise Duncan Lewis Solicitors, and specifically my solicitor Anjali Dora, enough for their outstanding handling of my matter. From our very first interaction, Anjali and the team at D&L demonstrated a level of professionalism, empathy, and dedication that I was not used to from solicitors. I was kept informed at every single stage of the process with clear, reassuring, and timely updates. Anjali’s thorough expertise and preparation ensured that everything was handled perfectly, leaving absolutely no stone unturned. Thanks to her hard work, my matter was resolved smoothly, seamlessly, and much faster than I ever could have anticipated. If you are looking for a legal team that genuinely cares about its clients, treats you like a human being, and delivers exceptional results, I highly recommend Duncan Lewis. I am incredibly grateful to Anjali for her amazing support!

Outstanding immigration solicitors

I would like to thank caseworker Fiza Bilal, Pardeep Somel and Ayana Musaeva for the exceptional support they gave me in my immigration case. From the beginning they understood that I am still dealing with a lot mentally after separating from my husband due to domestic abuse. Every call and email conversation showed not only professionalism but understanding of my mental health. They helped me understand immigration laws pertaining to my case and were available throughout till my application was successful. They made me feel seen and that assured me that I have the best support. Thank you so much for being solicitors who saw me before they see a case number, listening to my story made me feel heard and understood after what I have been through, my visa being successful is the best cherry on top.

Outstanding Solicitor – Highly Recommended

I cannot recommend Alleena highly enough. She has assisted me on several occasions over the years, most recently with my Stage 1 deportation matter, and her professionalism, expertise, and dedication have been exceptional throughout. From the outset, Alleena was incredibly efficient, responsive, and thorough in handling my case. She took the time to explain every step of the process clearly, kept me updated throughout, and always ensured I understood my options. During what was an extremely stressful and important matter, her knowledge and guidance gave me confidence and reassurance. What truly stands out about Alleena is her commitment to her clients. She genuinely cares, listens, and goes above and beyond to achieve the best possible outcome. Her attention to detail, strong work ethic, and determination were evident throughout my case and have been on previous occasions when she has helped me. Thanks to Alleena’s hard work and expertise, I felt supported every step of the way. If you are looking for a solicitor who is professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, and highly effective, I would not hesitate to recommend her services. I am incredibly grateful for all of her help and support and cannot thank her enough.

MR. PATEL, Thank You

Mr Patel helped me in a very complex case regarding family law matters and children matters, Mr Patel always communicated with me in both phone calls and emails to make sure I understood what was happening and if I had any "instructions" to give him. He has a legal knowledge that is beyond what I have ever seen, my case has been ongoing for years, but Mr Patel has a patience that is admirable and over and over he explained to me even when I didnt or couldn't comprehend it myself , the situation, or understand. Mr Patel always had me and my children's best interest and he made sure legally I was aware of my rights.. Mr Patel went beyond for us, I will always be grateful and remember what he did for me. Kindest Regards N.P

lack of support and my solicitor lack of experience and knowledge

stressfull experience- My experience with Nicole francisco at duncan was disappointing . throughoout my family lawmatter , i experience significant delays , lack of support and poor communication. she bever understood the case and repeatedly explained the case updates chashing for inofrmation. I raised formal and writted complaints and the replay was either supervisor on the case has left the firm or the solictor is new, why would you assign big case to unexperience lawyers , they charge you advance and they will charge you till the last penny when you raise concern. ,would not recommend this firm and especially if you are dealing with the above mentioned solicitor .
