Excellent support during my asylum case

I had a very positive experience with Duncan Lewis Solicitors during my asylum case. I would especially like to thank my caseworker Swarnika Goyal, who handled everything with great professionalism and dedication.

From the moment I applied for asylum in October 2024 until I received refugee status in March 2026, she carefully prepared my statements, followed up with the Home Office and was always quick to respond whenever I had questions.

I am very grateful for her support throughout the process and would highly recommend Duncan Lewis Solicitors.

Subject: Exceptional Support from Tania Mazumder
​I am incredibly happy with the service I received from Duncan Lewis Solicitors. I want to specifically thank Tania Mazumder for her outstanding support throughout my case.
​Tania is more than just a legal professional; she is a deeply caring and compassionate person. She was always there for me, constantly encouraging me and offering comfort whenever I felt sad or overwhelmed. Her punctuality and respect for her clients are unmatched. She truly listens to and stands by her clients every step of the way.
​I cannot find the words to fully express my gratitude for her professionalism and kindness. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of legal help.

Hina Kargar is a great solicitor

Mrs Hina Kargar was very professional, experienced and helpful in handling my asylum claim. She established a real personal connection that made me feel she really cared about my case. She managed the evidence and handled my claim efficiently which lead Home Office to withdraw their refusal and grant me asylum. A thousand Thank you Hina .

Disappointing Service

Unfortunately didn't have a great experience dealing with Hina Kargar for a checking service for an Immigration application, last year. This was our first time doing this application, hence paying for this service.
We were unclear from the start what we were actually paying for, it was never clearly laid out. The support we received was minimal, we found it hard to get hold of Hina over the phone so resorted to email, until we were eventually told to stop emailing or we would be charged extra and that the service we paid for was a 'one off'.

The application ultimately was not successful, and had we had better support we believe the outcome may have been different.

I had a really great experience working…

I had a really great experience working with Solicitor Aleksandra Sawicka. She was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive from start to finish. Everything was explained clearly and in a way that was easy to understand, which made the whole process much less stressful.

What I appreciated most was how approachable and accessible she was. Whenever I had a question or concern, she responded quickly and made sure I felt informed and reassured. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my case and was fully committed to helping me.

I’m very thankful for her help and wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again in the future if I ever need legal assistance. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated solicitor.

Great Legal Service

Tasnima and Tamana handled my immigration case with care and expertise. From the start, Tasnima made me feel confident and supported. Her active communication was great, whether it was through phone calls or emails. She was always available to answer my questions clearly. Tasnima’s professionalism and deep legal knowledge are top-tier, and they were clear through the representation prepared.

Professional, reassuring, and successful representation

​I cannot thank Duncan Lewis Solicitors enough for their help during a very difficult time. My ex-partner took me to court over our children, and the anxiety of the situation was overwhelming.

​Premal Patel was fantastic throughout the entire process. They helped take away all my anxiety by assisting with every form and statement, ensuring everything was handled perfectly. Thanks to their professionalism and expert legal knowledge, we got all the right orders in place and won the case.

​The communication was excellent, and I felt supported every step of the way. I highly recommend their services to anyone needing a solicitor who truly cares about getting the best result for their client.

Consistently excellent client service

Having worked with Duncan Lewis (and many other similar law firms) for several years I have found DL to be consistently excellent in the client service they provide. The level of support provided to clients is second to none and the casework is unfailingly thorough and professional. Having recently worked with Raj Vardhan Choubey I can say he provides a detailed and comprehensive client service and is also skilled and compassionate in his interactions with clients.

Windrush citizenship

I cannot speak too highly of the care and professionalism given to me by Ms. Rahman and others at Duncan Lewis. They completely understood the Windrush backstory and went in to bat on my behalf, to re-establish my citizenship.

Poor customer engagement and disregarding a clients wishes.

Having recently engaged with Duncan Lewis as a Solisitor I wanted to represent me was one of the Directors I have been left in the uncomfortable position that they want to reallocate my case to a lesser experienced Solisitor and that my Solisitor is not available. The communication from the suggested Solisitor has been rather uncomfortable with little or no empathy. They have told me not to contact my Solisitor, with no answers to any of my questions. My last email,at the beginning of last week, to the CEO and the Client Care Team has gone unanswered.

My view was I had personally chosen my Solisitor not the firm.
