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.
