Duncan Lewis Solicitors Reviews 

Superb service provided by Jaspreet Rai of Duncan Lewis Solicitors. My case was handled sensitively, professionally and efficiently. Jaspreet always made me feel safe and reassured. She was very respectful in every email communication. Jaspreet's knowledge and responses to my questions were always prompt and accurate, with legal knowledge conveyed clearly. I would highly recommend Duncan Lewis and Jaspreet Rai to handle your legal matters.

I regret to write this review regarding the unsatisfactory experience I had with Duncan&Lewis firm concerning my case. Unfortunately, the level of diligence and attention to detail was severely lacking, which resulted in a significant sense of confusion of the case and frustration on my part.

After some more experience with another firm, I can confidently say, that from the beginning, it was apparent that there was little understanding of my needs. The careless approach to managing the complexities of my case and the absence of a solid strategy demonstrated a lack of commitment to achieving a favorable outcome. The issues and confusion that arose from neglectful handling have left me feeling unsupported and disheartened.

Additionally, I was not informed about any alternatives in a timely manner. On two occasions, I found myself disheartened the day/ evening before a hearing, with last-minute comments that I should drop the case, instead of well-planned advice. Had I been informed earlier and worked on the best possible strategy and plan, they could have saved me a lot of time, stress, and money.

My complex case was assigned to a junior solicitor, and according to our contract, a senior solicitor was supposed to supervise and regularly review all work, especially our finished statements. Unfortunately, this did not happen. The statements were written in a very rushed and confusing manner, making it difficult for the judge to quickly grasp the main information and evidence. Despite my concerns regarding the amount of evidence we were submitting, the team insisted on this approach, which ultimately led to extra hearings and unnecessary delays.

The firm was very expensive, yet the high fees did not mirror the attention my case required or the support I deserved.

Each extra hearing, costing me approximately £5,000 to £7,000, only added to the overall confusion and complexity of the case, instead of simplifying it and focusing on the most important issues. Communication was often unclear, inaccurate, lacking in main points, making it difficult for me to grasp essential information about various stages. The responsiveness to my inquiries was inadequate, which compounded my anxiety and made it challenging to navigate a situation that was already complicated.

We went through three hearings, at least one, possibly two of which could have been avoided had I been informed of the realistic outcome well in advance and offered more constructive alternatives. My lack of confidence in the team’s expertise has only continued to grow, and I did not feel that I received the best possible assistance.

I submitted a complaint to the principal office about six weeks ago and have yet to receive any response.

I am truly disappointed by the overall experience with this firm.

I worked with Ashmira Kailash Moon at Duncan Lewis Solicitors. Throughout the case, she was incredibly attentive, even though we spoke different languages. She even arranged for an interpreter and we had multiple conference calls to better understand me and help with my case. We discussed in detail how to organize my documents and defense. She has a powerful writing style. Her explanations and ability to help you express yourself clearly are truly wonderful. She's a lawyer who knows exactly how to use words. She allows you to text her at any time of day, and if she's unavailable, she gets back to you as soon as possible to inform you about your request. She's absolutely a wonderful person. I'm sure all her team members are equally kind and understanding. Thank you so much for everything, both to Ashmira and all the other Duncan Lewis employees.

I worked with Shrestha Banerjee . She is very helpful and professional. Communication is very good and she explained everything clearly

I cannot put into words how thankful I am for the time, effort, and genuine care that Jemma and her caseworker Paige at Duncan Lewis (Milton Keynes office) have put into my cases. From the very first contact, they went above and beyond. I had less than 24 hours between speaking with them and my first hearing, and Paige spent a considerable amount of time on the phone understanding my situation, my wishes, and making sure I felt heard. Jemma then worked late into the night preparing my statement.

What started as CAO proceedings quickly turned into two separate sets of proceedings running alongside each other, and Jemma immediately stepped in to represent me in both. These cases have lasted just over a year, and during that time I have built a genuine trust and strong working relationship with both Jemma and Paige. They have always remained calm, understanding, and incredibly thorough in explaining each step of the process so I fully understood what was happening.

I often began phone calls feeling heightened, overwhelmed, or unsure — and every single time, I ended the call feeling reassured, grounded, and confident in the plan ahead. They consistently made sure my voice was heard, especially when I struggled to articulate myself. I have never felt rushed or made to feel like I was asking too much. They have truly been lifesavers during a very difficult and vulnerable time in my life.

In court, Jemma is phenomenal. Across many hearings, with different representatives, judges, and magistrates, she has always been clear, confident, and unwavering. Her advocacy is exceptional — calm but firm — and she remains completely unfazed by the opposition. She speaks with strength, clarity, and conviction, truly fighting for what is right. Before and after each hearing, she has taken the time to talk me through what to expect and then walk me through the outcome, making sure I fully understood everything. My cases have been extremely complicated, but her advice has never let me down. She is honest and realistic, never giving false expectations, and always guiding me with complete integrity.

Paige has also been incredible throughout. Before every hearing she took the time to understand my position in detail, and the statements she prepared reflected my thoughts and feelings perfectly while remaining professional and clear.

Both Jemma and Paige approached my cases with genuine care, attention to detail, and compassion. At a time when I had to place my trust in people I didn’t know, they never once let me down. I achieved the best possible outcomes in both cases, and I can confidently say I could not have been better represented.

On the occasions where emergency hearings meant I was assisted by other members of Duncan Lewis, I received the same level of honesty, care, and strength. My experience with the entire team has been consistently positive.

I highly recommend Duncan Lewis to anyone going through the family court process. They have made the most difficult period of my life that little bit easier, and I am truly grateful for everything they have done.

I want to sincerely thank Allena Akhtar for her exceptional assistance and professionalism during my Home Office case, which lasted from March 2023 till the end of October 2025. I consider myself really lucky to have had her as my attorney.

Allena was incredibly helpful, patient, and totally committed. She provided me with clear and considerate guidance at every stage of the procedure. I always felt confident knowing she was taking care of my case because she responded to all of my emails and phone calls in a timely and professional manner.

Her diligent work and persistent assistance allowed me to eventually obtain my citizenship. It was a long journey, but she walked with me the entire way, making sure I never felt alone or lost.

I truly have the deepest gratitude for her. I am incredibly appreciative of everything she has done, and I couldn't have wished for a better solicitor.

Miranda Quashie, Manjinder Kaur Atwal and Daljit Singh Shina was an amazing team when it came to my housing challenges. I'm was mainly dealing with Miranda, she was kind, patient, understanding, professional and did her upmost best always. Even when i was stressed and worried she would reassure me that she is working hard and that as soon as she hears something she will update, which she did. Thank you Miranda, myself and my daughter have been homeless for yes and you came and changed our life around, now we are in our beautiful new home, and we are both happy, you are truly an angel

I recently worked with Nikhila Gorripati at Duncan Lewis Solicitors, and I would like to highlight the exceptional level of service I received. Nikhila handled my case with professionalism, clarity, and efficiency from start to finish. Her communication was consistently timely; every email and update arrived precisely when I needed them, and she explained each step in a way that made the process smooth and stress-free.
She was attentive, supportive, and genuinely invested in ensuring everything was handled correctly. Her legal knowledge was evident at every stage, and her guidance made a complicated process feel manageable.
I would confidently recommend her to anyone seeking reliable and professional legal support.

Good lawyers Especially lawyer Sai Raja Harika, she is the best lawyer , and thank you for Gemma Lynch 9Director and supervisor but some things have not been clarified.

A really great company, Kavya Sree who is my legal representative helped me a lot with my case and always explained me the things I didn’t know.

My experience with Duncan Lewis Solicitors during my asylum matter has been nothing short of exceptional. I would like to extend my deepest appreciation and highest acknowledgment to Sai Raja Harika Vinnakota, my dedicated caseworker, as well as Gemma Lynch, Director and Supervisor, for their unwavering professionalism and legal expertise.

From the outset, Sai Raja Harika Vinnakota demonstrated remarkable proficiency, clarity, and commitment. Her guidance throughout this deeply complex and emotionally challenging process was invaluable. She handled my case with a level of precision and diligence that immediately built trust. Her legal knowledge is exceptional, and her ability to navigate intricate details while ensuring I understood every stage of the process is something I am truly grateful for.

Although there were moments when her availability was limited, I recognize this as a reflection of her high demand and the volume of clients who rely on her expertise—myself included. Despite this, whenever she engaged with my case, she did so thoroughly, thoughtfully, and with unwavering dedication. I always felt reassured that my matter was in the hands of someone highly capable and deeply committed.

Despite my eventual decision not to reside in the United Kingdom due to significant safety concerns, I cannot overstate how supported I felt by her throughout the entire ordeal. She consistently made me feel heard, respected, and protected. The professionalism, empathy, and strength she displayed would be difficult to find elsewhere.

Communication from Duncan Lewis—whether by phone, email, or written correspondence—was consistently clear, timely, and handled with the highest level of care. The firm’s service, availability, and commitment to clients are commendable. Under the supervision of Gemma Lynch, the legal strategy and oversight were both expertly executed and meticulously managed.

I am sincerely grateful for the exceptional effort and support provided. Sai Raja Harika Vinnakota is truly one of the best legal professionals one could hope for, and I wholeheartedly recommend her—and Duncan Lewis Solicitors—to anyone in need of skilled, compassionate, and knowledgeable representation.
