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

Angelique is a superb immigration lawyer who helped me with my son immigration application. She is knowledgeable about every aspect of immigration law and was quick in responding to my concerns. Angelique was incredibly patient and compassionate throughout the visa process and she always reassured me not to worry. I’d highly recommend Angelique to anyone looking for a brilliant and caring immigration counsel.

Family Financial Matters - Alexandra Johnson@Duncan Lewis Solicitors
This review is for a different branch.
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 communication!
This review is for a different branch.
I can't thank Amelia enough for her incredible support throughout my case. From start to finish, she has been outstanding with communication, always keeping me informed and making sure I understood every step of the process. Despite the other side being argumentative and difficult with any kind of arrangement, Amelia handled everything with professionalism and determination.
Beyond her legal expertise, she also helped me manage my emotions through what was a very challenging time, offering reassurance when I needed it most. Knowing she was representing me gave me confidence and peace of mind. I’m so grateful to have had her on my side and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of a dedicated and compassionate solicitor.

We urgently required legal assistance
This review is for a different branch.
We urgently required legal assistance for a hearing, and the support we received from Nazhat Ditta was exceptional. From the very beginning, she handled our case with great care and professionalism, ensuring that we were well-prepared for every step of the process.
Communication was outstanding—Nazhat provided swift responses to all our queries, whether by phone or email, and explained everything in a clear and straightforward manner. Her ability to break down complex legal matters into understandable terms was incredibly helpful, allowing us to feel confident and well-informed throughout.
The level of service and availability exceeded our expectations. Despite the urgency of the situation, she was always accessible and willing to assist, making what could have been a stressful experience much more manageable. Her professionalism and extensive legal knowledge were evident in every interaction, and her guidance played a crucial role in the success of our first hearing.
While our case is still ongoing, we have no doubt that we will continue to rely on her expertise for the next stages. We highly recommend Nazhat Ditta to anyone in need of reliable and knowledgeable legal support.
A representative from Duncan Lewis Solicitors Ltd responded to this review on 24 March, 2025:

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.
