They only care about money and make the process take so long that you have to cancel, and they charge you money in the middle of the process under various pretexts.

Review for Premal Patel
I cannot recommend Premal enough. From the very beginning, he provided exceptional support and guidance throughout a very challenging and emotional legal process. His communication was clear, consistent, and always timely—he took the time to explain everything in detail, ensuring I fully understood each step along the way.
Premal’s professionalism and knowledge were evident in every interaction, and his calm, reassuring presence made a huge difference, especially during court proceedings. He was incredibly thorough in preparing my case and represented me with confidence and integrity. I felt truly supported and in safe hands throughout.
Thanks to his dedication and expertise, I was able to navigate a difficult situation with clarity and peace of mind. I’m extremely grateful for everything he’s done and would not hesitate to work with him again or recommend him to others.
A representative from Duncan Lewis Solicitors Ltd responded to this review on 29 April, 2025:
Dear Chloe Thank you for your thoughtful review. We understand how difficult legal matters can be, and we are delighted that Family Law Solicitor Premal Patel has been able to support you during this time. Your trust means a great deal to us, and we are grateful that you chose our firm to represent you. Kind regards, Duncan Lewis Solicitors Ltd.

Review for Raj Vardhan Choubey – Duncan Lewis Solicitors
I had the privilege of referring a close friend of mine to Duncan Lewis Solicitors, and I cannot express enough how much gratitude we feel toward Raj Vardhan Choubey, the solicitor who handled his case. The journey was incredibly challenging, given the circumstances, but Raj’s dedication, professionalism, and compassion made a huge difference.
My friend, who has been through immense physical and emotional suffering, was facing a fast-approaching Home Office interview, with only days to prepare and no statement to present. Despite the pressure and urgency, Raj worked tirelessly, offering to apply for an extension to account for my friend’s severe health issues. However, my friend chose to proceed without the extension, and Raj went above and beyond to ensure everything was in place in time. He was working late into the night—one email from him was at 4 AM—to get the necessary documentation ready. It was clear that he was fully committed to achieving the best possible outcome, even under the most difficult of circumstances.
The speed and efficiency with which Raj handled everything were exceptional. All documents were processed swiftly, and the quality of communication was outstanding. Raj maintained constant contact, whether through emails or phone calls, keeping both of us informed at every stage. When the Home Office interview took place, Raj made sure to check in with us afterwards to ensure everything went smoothly and to offer continued support.
What also stood out was the involvement of Toufique Hossain, Raj’s supervisor and Director at Duncan Lewis. From the outset, Toufique personally contacted me to discuss the situation and showed genuine compassion for what my friend had experienced. He worked hard to ensure my friend was allocated to a solicitor quickly, and stayed involved throughout, checking in and offering support. He too sent his congratulations when the Humanitarian Protection was granted, and his kindness and care were deeply felt.
On the day we received the positive result—Humanitarian Protection—Raj was genuinely overjoyed for my friend. He promptly scheduled a video call to walk us through the Home Office documentation, explaining everything clearly and with such kindness and patience. He also took care of all necessary follow-up actions, including correcting a discrepancy with the person’s recorded date of birth with the Home Office.
Throughout the process, Raj was an absolute professional. He was always courteous, well-prepared, and extremely knowledgeable, making it clear that he had full control of the case. Despite the challenges we faced, including language barriers and technical difficulties, Raj remained calm, patient, and understanding, providing the highest standard of service at all times.
It was evident from the start that Raj genuinely cared about my friend’s situation. His professionalism was paired with a level of empathy and attention to detail that made all the difference. The support of both Raj and his supervisor, Toufique Hossain, was invaluable, and I could not have asked for a better team to handle this case.
Thanks to Raj’s hard work, my friend now has a chance to rebuild his life in safety, free from the fear of the unknown. The result of this case is truly life-changing, and it is a privilege to have been part of this process with such a dedicated, skilled, and compassionate solicitor by our side.
I wholeheartedly recommend Raj Vardhan Choubey and Duncan Lewis Solicitors to anyone in need of expert legal advice and representation. You can trust that you are in the hands of professionals who will treat your case with the utmost care and commitment.
