Family law case and appeal

Claire and Emily were instrumental in my complex family law case re child contact. They assisted with an appeal against an earlier case decision, which was successful, and then managed my case with compassion and care from there until its end, with a safe outcome. Their care and understanding of domestic abuse, supporting me navigate an already complex case was very much appreciated. I wouldnt hesitate to reccommend them.

Outstanding Sup. from Mrs Claire Wells in a Special Guardianship Case


I had the privilege of being represented by Mrs Claire Wells in my Special Guardianship case, and I cannot praise her highly enough for the exceptional service and support she provided.

From the outset, Mrs Wells demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care. She guided me through every stage of the process with clarity and patience, ensuring I fully understood the legal complexities involved. Her ability to break down complicated matters into simple terms gave me confidence and reassurance that my case was in expert hands.

What truly stood out was her balance of empathy and determination. Mrs Wells showed great understanding and compassion throughout, while remaining focused and resolute in advocating for my interests. Her meticulous preparation and strategic approach resulted in a positive outcome that prioritised the best interests of the child involved.

Communication with Mrs Wells was always prompt, clear, and supportive. She was readily available to address my concerns, answer questions, and offer guidance whenever needed. Her calm and approachable manner made a challenging process feel far more manageable.

I am deeply grateful to Mrs Claire Wells for her dedication, expertise, and unwavering support. If you are seeking a solicitor who is both highly skilled and compassionate, I wholeheartedly recommend her.

Successful spouse visa application

After three unsuccessful visa applications, we reached out to OTB Legal and were very fortunate to be assigned Neha Parmar as our lawyer. From the first consultation, Neha helped us understand exactly why my previous applications had failed and explained a clear plan to address these issues. Her expertise immediately reassured us that I was in the right hands.

Throughout the entire process, Neha was incredibly thorough. She provided me with a comprehensive list of required documents and walked me through each step, making sure everything was in order to maximize my chances of success. Her professionalism, patience, and understanding of our situation were invaluable, and her confidence gave me real peace of mind.

Neha always responded promptly to our questions, and even after my visa was approved, she continued to support me during the final steps. I wholeheartedly recommend Neha Parmar and OTB Legal to anyone needing assistance with a UK spouse visa.

Visa application

Our experience with Duncan Lewis Solictitors was extremely ellegant. From the outskirt of the case our case handler Anmol Kaur and her line manager Vicash Ramkissoon handled everything very professionally. She kept us updated at every step both via calls and emails, managing client care professionally to high standard.

I would definitely recommend Duncan Lewis Solicitors.

Late submission of FLRM application

I recently had to apply for FLRM status. I made the error of filing late due to on going personal circumstances.
Thankfully I hired Krutika Bhagvat through Duncan Lewis Solicitors. Duncan Lewis Solicitors was recommended to me by a close friend who has practiced law for 25 years.
Krutika provided prompt and quality advice throughout the entire process. Through clear communication and professional legal advice, I was granted my FLRM status.
Krutika took extra steps to make sure my case was handled in an advanced manner. She also consoled me, as I was under immense pressure due to the time sensitive manner of my case, and my personal circumstances.
I would not hesitate to recommend Krutika’s legal help to anyone. Everything was handled professionally and I truly felt looked after every step of the way.
5 stars, 100% satisfied.
Thank you Duncan Lewis, and especially Krutika Bhagvat.

Outstanding Support and Professionalism – Highly Recommend

I had an excellent experience with the team handling my case. Jacob Dean, my case worker, went above and beyond - he was incredibly supportive, thorough, and always available to answer my questions. His dedication and attention to detail made a real difference, and I truly felt like I was in safe hands throughout the process.

My solicitors, were equally professional and knowledgeable, providing clear legal guidance and reassurance every step of the way.

Communication was outstanding - emails and calls were always prompt and informative. I felt respected, well-informed, and confident in their care. I highly recommend this team for anyone seeking reliable and compassionate legal support.

Dear Ms. Kousini Gupta
The esteemed and dedicated team at Duncan Lewis Solicitors,

Warm greetings and deep respect,

Words fall short of expressing the heartfelt gratitude I feel for your kindness, support, and tireless efforts. During the darkest and most uncertain days of my life—filled with fear, vulnerability, and hopelessness—you, Ms. Kousini Gupta, appeared as a beacon of light and hope.

You are not only a highly professional solicitor, but also a compassionate, noble human being and a true defender of those whose voices often go unheard. Your patience, precision, knowledge, and unwavering dedication to my case will remain forever engraved in my heart and memory.

Every message, every call, and every action taken by you reflected a deep sense of responsibility, professional ethics, and genuine humanity. With your calm and reassuring presence, you lifted me from a place of despair and helped me find strength, stability, and hope for a brighter future.

From the depths of my heart, I sincerely thank you, Ms. Kousini Gupta, and every esteemed member of the Duncan Lewis Solicitors team. My heartfelt prayers and those of my family will always accompany you. May you always be blessed with success, good health, and honor in every step of your life—just as you have uplifted and inspired the lives of so many.

With deepest respect, gratitude, and appreciation,
[Abdullah Joya]
