Family Financial Matters - Alexandra Johnson@Duncan Lewis Solicitors
Dealing with such challenging circumstances is so tough but the manner in which I was supported and represented by Alexandra at Duncan Lewis significantly eased some of the pressure and stress that comes with divorce. The service I received was personal, the advice I received came with confidence and integrity and communication was very efficient. Every part of the process was conducted professionally and provided me with reassurance and a faith. I couldn't have asked for anything more and wholly valued their representation.

Great experience and Neha is excellent!
My sisters and I applied for our citizenship this year with the help of Neha and she was phenomenal! She is super helpful, clear and patient and made sure we all had a clear understanding of every step. Her work is thorough and she was happy to accommodate for our busy schedules and support us with answering any of our questions very promptly and in great detail. Even at the free consultation stage she had given me all the information I needed, which is why I felt confident continuing the process with her and the OTB team. Needless to say, our applications were all successful with her help. Highly recommend the service and especially Neha. Thanks again Neha and all the best!
A representative from Duncan Lewis Solicitors Ltd responded to this review on 09 December, 2024:
Dear Sara Thank you for your wonderful review about Immigration Solicitor Neha Parmar. We are thrilled to hear that your experience with her and the team was so positive. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated, and we'll be sure to pass along your kind wishes to Neha. Kind regards, Duncan Lewis Solicitors Ltd.

Great experience
This review is for a different branch.
So far in my case, Rebecca has been an excelent solicitor. She's always very helpful and always tries her best to answer all my questions and therefore give me the best advice. She's also very compassionate, understanding and supportive. Not only she's a great professional but also a good human being and sees her clients as such. She always tries to help in every way she can.

This review is for a different branch.
I will start this review with the person I communicated most who was Donnelly Clata Mazarello, who no matter how many questions I gave always was able to get back to me as soon as possible and as clear as possible which in my case helped me a lot
Whether it was communicating through emails or phone calls, she was always available and showed clearly was always happy to help even with questions that I’ve did feel silly asking she reassured me there was no silly questions understood where I was always coming from and if she wasn’t too sure on something she would doublecheck to confirm before advising me which was also in rare occasions
With Duncan Lewis‘s team and the people they had represent me while going to court made me feel more confident in the situation I was in then I had been prior
Would highly recommend this lawfirm to anyone, especially when it is coming to family law

I would like to thank Maria and Joseph for the excellent service they provided. Joseph was very patient and understanding with his communication and Maria provided great oversight. Together they helped me ease some of the pain Home Office inflicted and I would recommend their service to anyone looking to seek compensation or expert advice in regards to immigration matters.

I am so satisfied with Duncan Lewis Solicitors, especially Harshita Gupta who has been with me since day one of my case.
Although my case is still in process, I feel so confident and ready for my interview because she has guided me well through constant phone calls and emails. She is always making sure we are at the same page and everytime I need advice she is always available.
She is one of the people who have made me feel confident, welcomed and happy since the time I came in the UK and that means the world to me.
