I contacted Duncan Lewis Solicitors with my problems. I was promised on 14th February 2022 they would get back to me to discuss my problem. I haven't been contacted be them at all after I informed them by emails regarding about no communication. Unsatisfactory practice by Solicitors Ra Smyth

Service was great from start to finish and Alia's knowledge in relation to child matters was brilliant. I would recommend her if anyone needs a good strong solicitor to fight for access to children.

My friend got arrested for road traffic accident. We really panicked as we had no idea whom to contact and how to get my friend out of the situation. One of my colleagues suggested me to call Duncan Lewis. Their experienced and friendly criminal lawyer really helped us and explained all the intricacies involved in the case. Within hours, my friend was out on bail and was greatly relieved. We are really thankful to the law firm for their expert assistance and know that they will handle the case in future with great precision and professionalism.

From the past few months I was having bad experience with my landlords then I took the help of Duncan Lewis in providing me some guidance to sorting out the problem. The staff gave me the valuable advice & I realized that the staff was very co-operative & did settle down all the things quickly. Now I am living in that house very happily. Thanks Duncan Lewis. : Double Thumbs up for your team!

Few months back I was involved in a accident. It was really a tough situation, My medical bills were more than the coverage limits of the responsible party. My treatment was extensive and costly. I was in a total mess when one of my friend suggested about Duncan Lewis. They handled my case really well, I would highly recommend them to a friend, or family member.
