Established in 1998, Duncan Lewis is one of the country's fastest growing firms of solicitors, servicing both corporate entities and private individuals. This growth has derived from a simple mission: to provide a reliable, accurate and practicable legal service.
However, 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.
Experience has shown that our clients require four things from us:
Commitment, Communication, Confidentiality, and Courtesy, and upon these we lay the foundations of our service.

Mr. Arvin Narendra (Duncan Lewis - Harrow) is an extraordinarily competent, committed solicitor and his extensive experience with benefit cases (Personal Independence Payments) has proven invaluable to my family. I am extremely impressed with his professionalism and compassion. The DWP revoked PIP benefits from my disabled family member. We appealed this decision but the DWP continued to withhold benefits and referred the appeal to the First Tier Tribunal.
We were frightened and overwhelmed. It was then that we consulted Mr. Narendra who reassured my family and made us feel genuinely cared for. He was communicative, supportive and readily accessible throughout the case. Mr. Narendra's exemplary diligence and intricate understanding of applicable laws were vital in proving that the DWP decision to revoke benefits, in this subtly complex case, was ultimately wrong. Mr. Narendra's successful appeal of the case resulted in full restoration and repayment of all withheld funds.
While the monetary benefits are critically important, I must also point out that Mr. Narendra taking on and winning this difficult case against the DWP has prevented what would've been a life-altering travesty and also provided my family member with a priceless experience of true justice. I would highly recommend Mr. Narendra to anyone who has questions about and/or is in need of assistance with a PIP matter. Respectfully, R. Lawrence

I contacted Duncan Lewes last week to get help with housing issues. My details were taken and was told that someone would call me back within 24 hours. This didn't happen, and when I called back, I was told that the 24 hours meant 24 working hours, which I found somewhat bizarre. So after 24 working hours, or as normal people would call it, 3 days, still no phone call and when I call again, I was told that the call would be forthcoming, which again turned out not to be the case.
I then called again, only to be told that the branch of Duncan Lewes my case had been referred to did not have any housing solicitors which effectively meant that I had been waiting for the last week for a call that was never going to arrive. I was then told that my case would be referred to the Dalston Kingsland branch and that someone would get back to me.
It does appear that someone did finally do so as I had a missed call on my phone which a Google search showed as coming from Duncan Lewes. However, no message was left, so I called back again and was told that yet again, someone would call me back. Again, no one did and when I called back and explained how frustrated at their inability to do something as basic as return my call, I was told by the person I spoke to that the reason I hadn't heard back was probably because they are too busy to take on my case and that I should contact the law society in order to find alternative representation.
Never in the 44 years I have been alive on this planet have I ever come across such shoddy, unprofessional service. These people wasted 10 days of my time for no reason other than their gross incompetence and I can honestly say I would sooner entrust my legal representation to a trained chimp.

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.

Myself and my partner recently contacted Duncanlewis Solicitors seeking legal advice regarding access to my partners son. We are both extremely grateful for the advice and guidance we received and the way in which they dealt with the case, which was both professional and understanding. My Solicitor was really friendly, helpful and transparent and acted efficiently through a complicated process.
