I don’t want to mention name if my solicitor but I will say Duncan Lewis employs all newly qualified people who don’t have experience with certain cases. My case was messed up due to this reason. Wouldn’t recommend if your case is complexed

I could not have asked for a better solicitor to represent me for my hearing. Maria is sharp, on the ball and experienced. Majeja is excellent, the statements she prepared on my behalf were brilliant, Lewis is very respectful and intelligent. I would not choose any other firm to represent me in the future.

Worst law firm. They know nothing of law, and lack professionalism. They will mess up your case on all critical points and will take no responsibility for it.
They are hostile, unable to handle any pressure from the other side, fail to present evidence to court even if you provide them with everything. A junior lawyer from another firm was able to bully them, which they used as an excuse for their failures. They failed to check court buddies from the other side for false evidence, did not always inform me of important updates on the court orders. They misrepresented the case in court, fail to protect their client’s interest and cannot negotiate to save their lives.
I was clear on my instruction from day one and on every stage, and they knew what they were getting into. They shouldn’t take the case if they couldn’t handle it.
I followed their advice on every step, anytime I raised concerns I was told if I don’t want to take their advice then they can’t help me, knowing well that it was impossible to get another law firm involved at those points and that I couldn’t afford it.
It felt like they used that knowingly to handle me and have their way.
It may be just a case for them and they can afford to experiment but it was my life that they played with. Their director agrees the case was not handled correctly. I lost over £150,000 due to their mistakes in my case. No apology or compensation has been given. They can’t even write off the final small outstanding bill.
I will be homeless for few months and have debt thanks to them and they still want more money.
Burn your money rather than hiring them. They will not fight for you, and the barrister they recommend are even worse.

Nina Joshi is a hostile, angry, vicious and fraudulent hedgehog shape of a woman who unfortunately for you and any complaint against her business will expend every penny in her coffers and every man hour in absolutely pummeling your complaint ... when she could of just ensured quality service delivery in1% of the time and energy spent on the complaint.
For example, Nina encouragd at-will contract changes on the days of hearings and, in some minor criminal matters, changed pleas without client consent to suit her legal aid funding. There is no question that Nina is a wolf dressed as a sheep. She undermined everything in our case and we ultimately lost because she is too lazy to be a proper lawyer and prefers to sort everything administratively irrespective of costs to client.

Avoid these two family law solicitors; Fauzia Mumani and Lily Meredith. Only knows why these two still have jobs in that particular field. They have caused so much pain and suffering as they do not even represent you during court. When you try to voice your concerns; they are very dismissive and patronising.
I’ve have suffered under the hands of these two individuals who could have closed down my case from the get go. They ill-advised me from the start and they have no experience regarding family law. They are clearly textbook style and wet behind the ears.
They are willing to compromise your child’s safety and defend the other party. They didn’t even offer legal aid to someone who was clearly a VICTIM of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE and don’t even know when to issue a non-molestation order.
DON’T EVEN WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!
DON’T ALLOW THEM TO FAIL YOUR CHILD!!

I approached DLS after several failed attempts at resolution with a client of mine. Right from the beginning Thomas was very direct and informative about what he required from me and what the procedure would look like over the coming weeks/months. I was clear about what I expected and Thomas did everything to ensure we got the result we were looking for. It was made easy for me to upload documents, to contact Thomas and to pickup the phone at any time to get advice. Thomas always replied to all my communications, sometimes when he was off work or out of hours. An absolute pleasure to work with and great sense of humour.

George Osuala represented a family friend. He gave a very strong representation and did justice to this gentleman who had been in prison for over 20 years. Very good communication and was always able to contact him without delay when needed.
