Exceptional Legal Representation by Premal Patel at Duncan Lewis Solic

My experience with Duncan Lewis Solicitors, particularly with Premal Patel, was exemplary in terms of legal expertise and professionalism.
Premal demonstrated a comprehensive understanding of statutory obligations and procedural requirements, ensuring my case was handled with precision and in compliance with relevant legislation. His communication was clear and frequent, offering updates on key developments and statutory deadlines, which provided reassurance throughout the process.
Premal's availability and ability to translate complex legal matters into practical advice enabled informed decision-making. His commitment to upholding legal standards and ensuring due diligence has been outstanding, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking skilled and reliable legal representation.

Amazing legal service

I experienced superb legal advice which helped me to efficiently address my issue in a timely manner. I found Angelique to be prompt, efficient and with an eye to detail. Above all, she was compassionate.

I cannot more highly recommend this law firm. Their legal advice was impeccably transparent and clear and I felt as though they had explained the legal ramifications of the decisions that I was making in a very straightforward manner.

Angelique and Tamana's grasp of the legal framework was outstanding and I would definitely use this firm again.

Exceptional solicitor- Olivia Hardy

Olivia Hardy is an exceptional solicitor.

Unfortunately, I have experienced far to many legal professionals from other firms, and also in court who lack integrity, and have no regard for their unprofessional actions on children and families.

Olivia is NOT one of these legal professionals. She puts honesty and integrity first, ensuring all her advice and actions are child focussed. Her communication is clear, robust and she has outstanding people skills. She goes above and beyond.

I highly recommend her.

Happy Ending

My sister's immigration case was making us feel very anxious and deflated as it was a very complicated and stressful process. However, Angelique dealt with the case with some ease and steadfastness. We feel she prepared my sister's case in a smooth way which guaranteed a successful outcome. She was always very accessible and responded to any emails or phone calls very efficiently. The successful completion of my sister's case restored our calmness, joyfulness and hope.

Mandeep Benning supported me towards the end of my experience with the family court and I am extremely grateful to have received such measured, calm, practical and child-focused advice. Sadly, I was faced with an oppositional legal team who were litigious and aggressive. Mandeep was able to handle all difficult communications with a firm but mutual tone, a child centred approach, always with the hope to lead all parties to come to an agreement outside of court. I really commend Mandeep’s commitment to the Resolution code of practice. Mandeep and her colleagues at Duncan Lewis clearly hold strong ethical values, whereby they try to minimise stress as much as they can for parents, but most importantly any children involved. Mandeep was aware of my financial situation and made every effort to provide me with advice and guidance that would minimise my costs without compromising the quality of support, guidance and advice that I received. I would thoroughly recommend Duncan Lewis as a family law solicitor who genuinely have the best interests of the child at the heart of their work.

I am immensely grateful to Duncan Lewis Solicitors LTD for their exceptional expertise in handling my immigration case and deportation appeal. Since 2012, their unwavering dedication and professionalism have been a constant source of support throughout my legal journey. I owe my deepest appreciation to Rohena Wallace and her outstanding team, including Marinda Sirikanda, Eric Fripp, Bojana Asanovic, Fozan Saiyed, Stefan Vnuk, and Yasmin Adib. Their exemplary representation helped me navigate extremely complex legal challenges, and their strong advocacy and defense ensured my rights were protected at every step. It’s rare to see judges make the right call, but thanks to Rohena and her team, they did.

As a Western European citizen who has lived in the UK for most of my formative years since 1998, I was unfortunately denied certain rights in 2012 due to not holding a British passport.

I am particularly thankful to Rohena for securing my release after eight months of unlawful detention and more than two and a half years on an electronic tag. Duncan Lewis Solicitors' extensive experience in challenging difficult decisions, especially in cases involving unlawful detention, was evident in their meticulous and thorough approach. Their commitment—throughout the Lower Tribunal, Upper Tribunal, and even up to the Royal Court of Justice and the Supreme Court—made a significant difference in the outcome of my case. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to The Aire Centre charity for their invaluable support and involvement during the Supreme Court proceedings.

For anyone facing similar challenges, I cannot recommend Duncan Lewis Solicitors highly enough. Their expertise, compassion, and dedication make them a truly outstanding legal team in immigration law. My heartfelt thanks go to the entire dream team of solicitors and barristers, including Raza Husain KC, who truly made the impossible possible: Rohena Wallace, Marinda Sirikanda, Eric Fripp, Bojana Asanovic, Fozan Saiyed, Stefan Vnuk, and Yasmin Adib.

Many thanks.
