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.

Duncan Lewis Solicitors – Sai Raja Harika Vinnakota & Gemma Lynch

Highly recommended Duncan Lewis, fast response to email and also getting things for cases done quickly. Henna and avani from Birmingham base your both amazing at the work you do couldn't of picked at better solicitors to help me throughout my CAO.

Duncan Lewis have been supporting me with a CAO and other issues for the last 18 months; Alexia was my main port of call, with Elliot supporting me during court hearings. Throughout the entire period I have felt listened to, supported and heard, which when dealing with a co parent who is abusive and narcissistic makes such a difference. I communicated with Alexia mainly via email but there were occasions especially during moments of distress I would call, she managed these calls with kindness and sympathy but kept to the facts. I was kept involved and informed throughout the process and these communications increased before and after court hearings to ensure I understood the process and plan moving forward. I was informed whenever Alexia would be unavailable due to leave and was signposted to Premal who was also extremely helpful. The professionalism and legal knowledge of all the staff that supported at Duncan Lewis was thorough and precise. They ensured I had a full understanding of the court process, and what the legal language meant, this meant I was able to verbalise my thoughts and feelings clearly and without fear of judgement or ridicule. Moving forward, if there is another issue that needs legal support I will not hesitate to reach out to Duncan Lewis, and I will feel reassured and confident that they will manage the case effectively and professionally with my best interests at the forefront. Thank you Alexia and Elliot, you have been outstanding.

My case was handled very carefully and efficiently by Sailaja Tadepalli, caseworker, and Manjinder Kaur Atwal, Director and supervisor. They always made me feel supported and respected, especially as English is not my first language, and they took time to explain every step clearly. The communication by phone and email was excellent and timely, and I was always updated about what was happening in my case. They were available when I needed them, and I felt that they genuinely cared about my situation. Their professionalism and legal knowledge gave me a lot of confidence, and I am very grateful for the service I received.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Shazina Zaffer from Duncan Lewis and her team for their outstanding support and representation during my child proceedings. From the very beginning, Shazina demonstrated exceptional professionalism, compassion, and dedication. She took the time to understand every detail of my case, guided me clearly through each stage of the process, and always reassured me during moments of stress and uncertainty

Thank you very much for the service you provided. I received a very honorable service.
