William Harding – Truly Exceptional


I’m incredibly grateful to William Harding for the exceptional support he provided during my housing case. From day one, he worked tirelessly, always made himself available to answer my questions, and ensured I felt supported and informed throughout the entire process. His dedication and work ethic were second to none.

What truly set William apart was his genuine care and commitment. He didn’t treat my case as just another file, he approached it with real passion and determination. Thanks to his efforts, we not only secured everything we requested, but achieved an outcome that went above and beyond my expectations.

I also want to commend Duncan Lewis Solicitors as a whole. The firm is truly impressive, professional, reliable, and clearly dedicated to achieving the best possible results for their clients. I couldn’t have asked for better representation.

Wajma was acting as duty solicitor at Romford County Court. Not only was she kind and empathetic, but gave clear and concise advice as to what would happen during the course of the hearing and what steps could be taken to assist us. Wajma was clearly well respected amongst the Court staff and other legal professionals alike, and I'm incredibly grateful for the help and support she offered.

Two Complaints & STILL IGNORED by Directors Including CEO

The TEAM ARE NOT passionate about giving people a voice & unless you do the work yourself providing them with truth no legal representation would occur. May be the largest legal aid provider but as above in fact, you are ignored not consulted spoken to with very ill manner, Not Professional by any stretch.
NO NO They do not excel here at representing society's most vulnerable with care and empathy. My CASE IS THREE YEARS ONGOING WITH MANY SOLICITORS TAKING OVER IVE HAD TO RESEND DOCUMENTS REPEAT MY CASE AND NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH IM UTTERLY IGNORED NOT CONSULTED EVEN AFTER COMPLAINING TWICE to which it still goes on. I’ve two other cases I’ve disclosed stating I will pay privately take food out of my mouth to do so, told both would be raised again nothing is s done?
I’ve contacted the CEO and directors all have ignored me, I’m now going to have to announce the failures via social media and Ombudsman they cannot even get the complaints correct & have offered m, £100.00 (it’s not the answer a person needs legal representation do your job it is not your clients area of knowledge but we are being made to learn and they take the credit? IT IS TRULY CONCERNING & EXTREMELY SIMPLE SICKENING TO ONES CORE WITH THE ADDED STRESS OF TOTAL DISREGARD)

All legal matters are stressful but to those suffering and then having to be disregarded by their own Solicitor’s not just one but all, is unacceptable.

Excellent legal service – highly recommend

I had the pleasure of working with Mrs Alleena Akhtar from this London-based law firm, and I could not be more pleased with the level of service I received.

Mrs Alleena Akhtar demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep legal knowledge, and a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome.

From start to finish, he was responsive, clear in her communication, and highly organised. I felt informed and supported at every stage of the process. Her ability to navigate complex legal matters with clarity and precision was truly impressive.

I would not hesitate to recommend Mrs Alleena Akhtar and his firm to anyone in need of reliable and high-quality legal advice in the UK. Thank you again for your dedication and excellence.

Forever thankful for your dedication

I cannot really express fully how thankful I am to Duncan Lewis and especially Sophie Rayment and Jade Whitelaw. There are no words that can describe how grateful you trully are, to the people that gave you back a little bit of control of your life and freedom. The knowledge, commitment and work they have put into my "eventful" case (as described by my barrister), doesn't go unnoticed. If I ever had to go back to court (although I hope it will not happen), I would be definitely coming back. Once again, massive THANK YOU for all your hard work.

I cannot say much about the cost as I had Legal Aid. It was estimated to cost £10,000. At this point, I don't know if it was more or less than that 10k.

Ducan Lewis greatest Work

I was very satisfied with how my case was handled from start to finish. My caseworker Ms.Sajal Prashar, was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely made me feel supported throughout the process. Communication was clear and consistent—whether through phone calls, emails, I always felt informed and up to date, and the best thing that always she provided me with a Sudanese interpreters

The level of service was excellent, and she always available to answer my questions . I appreciated her honest advice and the way she explained complex legal matters in a way I could easily understand. Overall, the experience was smooth and reassuring. I would highly recommend the services of Ducan Lewis to anyone in need of legal support.

I want to say a big thank you to Samridhi Ganak, my case handler, for helping me with my asylum case. She was always kind, patient, and very supportive from the beginning.

She explained everything clearly and made sure I understood each step. Her communication was excellent, and she always answered my questions quickly and clearly. I felt safe and supported during a very difficult time.

Thanks to her hard work, my case was successful. I truly appreciate everything she did for me. I feel lucky to have had her as my lawyer.

Thank you, Samridhi ganak— and thank you to Duncan Lewis Solicitors.
