24/02/22 - Reviewed by Bach
I agree with some of the reviewers that some of the good reviews may be fake. Another important fact is that British people often don't like to complain in a negative way so this could make a person or firm look better than what is the actual case. I had "help" with a case by Manjinder Atwal (called "Manjinda" in another 1-star review) and her very new paralegal (by a few months) Annabel and I ended up much worse than I was when they started their so-called "help" and I was already in a very bad state, Manjinder pretty much let the paralegal act as an experienced lawyer, thus using me as a guinea pig for her training. As another reviewer said, I wouldn't recommend this firm to my worst enemy, there's worryingly little empathy and worryingly little respect for other than money - the religion is clearly Money God... Another review said Manjinder cost him/her tens of thousands of pounds in fees and no case won and I'm not the least surprised, they cost me a lot of money and sleep too, almost my very life. A big warning against these" lawyers" who put up a calm and friendly front and are downright cold and nasty behind it - you can easily find much better lawyers than and spare yourself a lot of pain, grief and money.

A wholeheartedly agree with the statement that this lawyers are cold hearted. They are rude. I was offered a case of serious housing disrepair which is not fit for human habitation. This firm as represented by one W B has decided to hold on to my money. They are just collecting money from legal aid and are very slow. I have emailed the Director DC and yet no response.
A very cold hearted form of rude lawyers.
Please avoid them at all cost. I think people must now start self representing their case these days.

If I could give the zero stars I would. Worst service from a solicitor I have ever received. They are only concerned about getting their fee and will tell you a croc of lies about I much money I would get ensuring that they keep being paid with public funds. Outrageous claims to the point that they knew they were about to lose the case, I asked for no more representation and to close the case but they still wanted to the opposition to pay their fee £27k (what??) so completely disregarding my letters of discontinuance they continued to use legal to fund a case which both parties wanted to close. DO NOT TRUST.... KEEP CLEAR. Majinda and Pritesh will string you along happily

I do not recommend these people at all, they are willing to take your money and make do with whatever they can. Being a legal aid firm they get paid either way whether they win or lose, never keep you updated, always wanting to get paid, they don't seem to care on what it going on and how. They fobbed me off, took my money and never really gave me an outcome. Could have been better but as they are too lazy to do that, it just shows that they don't really care for their clients.

Very efficient at taking my money but took them nearly 3 months to send me my £230 Home Office refund (and only after I enquired). Their excuse: Busy with Xmas!
Kept telling me I had no right to travel even though I had a valid French ID card...Not very good at listening, often abrupt and patronising. On at least one occasion the quality of the correspondence was poor. It was very obvious the solicitor had signed a letter without reading it. ! Would never use again. One star because they were right for one thing...the Home Office does get it wrong often!

Exceptionally poor service. The lawyers dont even know the law properly. Got me to lodge the wrong application.

I cannot state clearly enough how much the discerning client should avoid this dog-and-pony show of a law firm. As we all can see from previous corporate responses to complaints, Duncan Lewis seems to pride itself on general satisfaction. That may be the case, but at the Harrow branch you will NOT be happy with the service.
I am a survivor of domestic violence with a domestic violence settlement having been granted by HRMC (with a different and very competent solicitor) 6 months before the divorce case was heard because of DL's incompetence in chasing my ex-husbands petition. I was then 'advised' not to ask for any financial settlement despite my legal costs and fees and letters were written to my ex's solicitors to that effect: I had to send 'cease and desist' 11th hour emails and similar phone calls to prevent these emails going through. Ultimately because I needed rid of my domestically violent husband (as deemed by HRMC) I took a quick under £1000 settlement as per DL to 'make things quick'.
This firm will make a painful, difficult divorce much much worse. Avoid.

I had the unfortunate experience of using this firm recently for a family law matter. The employee I dealt with was a trainee solicitor, every letter that was written usually contained inaccuracies, and more often than not I had to re-write them. When it came to filling in forms, the correct boxes had not been ticked and I had to insist that I checked everything before it was sent off.
In a few cases a google search provided more accurate information than the guidance I was given, I googled the details because I didn't believe what I was being told.
I would strongly advise going elsewhere, appalling.

I would strongly advise people never to go to Duncan Lewis. They have employeed just a few trained staff who are only used to produce Cost Estimate letters to the Legal Aid Agency to sip out public funds. All the work on your file is done by caseworkers who prepare poorly drafted letters to court. Duncan Lewis sipped out funds of over £50,000 on my LAA Certificate only to leave me without representation at the last minute before my final hearing. Unrealiable, unprofessional and merciless is their approach. Their own goal is to receive maximum funds out of the LAA Agency. After those funds are received by them their attitude towards you become rude and abusive. They just refuse to do any work on your files and keep making excuses.

I had the misfortune of being transfered to this firm from the Civil Legal Advice team. The person I was connected to was NOT interested in helping me, he was even rude about the person from Civil Legal Advice. He did not want to help me with the law I was trying to rely on, in fact I got the impression that because he was ignorant of that law he was just trying to get rid of me.
If Civil Legal Advice means that you get put through to a lawyer who is rude and abusive, who just wants to tell you to go get a local lawyer then that is a real abuse of the legal aid system.
In the past I have called the Civil Legal Advice team and been transferred to someone from Shelter's Legal Team, they spend over an hour speaking with me on the phone and called me back with a follow up.
So that is why I KNOW that Duncan Lewis provided a shoddy service, provided by someone who really has no interest in helping me, who was rude and abusive.
Far from the promised service that says
"Whilst we consider ourselves expert in the matters we undertake we never forget that we are dealing with people, frequently disadvantaged, who may find the law complex and daunting. We undertake to guide you through the law by applying it to resolve the problems that you entrust to us."
Well that was not MY experience.
People like me are in serious need of proper legal advice when facing eviction from our home, it seems to me that Duncan Lewis are just a machine, they put in these Housing Caseworkers that nobody else would employ and just grab the legal aid fee.
It really concerns me that people like this are giving vulnerable people poor advice and just shovelling them off without offering any practical legal help.

Duncan Lewis did a fantastic job. Everything they did was professional, very friendly, kind and understanding. I heard about Duncan Lewis while I was still detained and it was easy to make initial contact. All good, keep it up!

I visited Duncan Lewis earlier this year to handle my divorce. I have two children, both under the age of 10 and I was more worried about how they would feel throughout the process. I visited Duncan Lewis in Hackney and saw Adishetu Momoh Abu. She dealt with all my problems and understood what I am going through. Adishetu took me through all the possible options for our children and we were able to come to an amicable agreement.
I am very thankful for the help and support that Duncan Lewis gave me to push forward and deal with my divorce quickly by keeping me up to date with any updates to my case.
