Terrible service.
Completely uninterested in my case.
Claimed that the consultation would cost almost as much as the charge.

Family law case and appeal
This review is for a different branch.
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.
A representative from Duncan Lewis Solicitors Ltd responded to this review on 14 May, 2025:
Dear Anonymous We appreciate your kind feedback and are glad to know that Solicitors Emily Alice Reed and Claire Wells of our Family Law team met your expectations.

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.

Dear Ajmal Thank you for your positive review.

Late submission of FLRM application
This review is for a different branch.
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.

Dear Samuel Elwood We truly appreciate your thoughtful review and are pleased to know that your experience with Immigration Solicitor Krutika Bhagvat was a positive one. If we can be of assistance in the future, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Kind regards, Duncan Lewis Solicitors Ltd.

Outstanding Support and Professionalism – Highly Recommend
This review is for a different branch.
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.

excellent service, positive outocome
This review is for a different branch.
I had the privilege of being represented by Sophie Chadd in my immigration case, and I cannot thank her enough for the life-changing impact her work has had on me.
Since the successful outcome of my case, my life has taken a truly positive turn. I'm currently studying at University.
Most significantly, my mental health has improved immensely—better than it's ever been.
I’m now focused on personal growth, enjoying life, learning every day, and giving back to society where I can. None of this would have been possible without Sophie’s dedication and expertise. Her work on my case helped open a new chapter in my life, and for that, I am endlessly grateful.
Thank you, Sophie, for everything.
A representative from Duncan Lewis Solicitors Ltd responded to this review on 07 May, 2025:
Dear ppp Thank you very much for your thoughtful review.

I have a great chance to have an amazing and highly qualified solicitor from Duncan Lewis Solicitors. Mrs Phong Ma put me in the right direction by giving me the right advice. It is been a great collaboration. She knew my concerns and was very understanding. She dealt with my case efficiently. She was so professional and passionate about her job. She treated me with respect. I only have good memories of Mrs Phong MA.
Thank you Mrs Phong MA. You put smile in my face.
