Testimonials
- "As a stateless person from Kuwait, my Family Reunion application was one I helplessly expected to see refused or unfathomably delayed...However, I didn’t lose faith in the talent in witnessed at Duncan Lewis during my super-complex asylum claim that was successfully resolved in November 2023. Despite all odds, my application was successful and my family and I have been safely reunited in the UK way earlier than the new average waiting times. I have never seen my humanity, humanness and needs as a distressed human being respected and accounted for by anyone other than the people I dealt with at Duncan Lewis. My family and I were lost in deep dark seas and Duncan Lewis was our lifeguards" (Family Reunion - Kuwaiti Bidoon) (October 2023)
- "My case for family reunion was handled by Katie Nelson and Bahar Ata from Duncan Lewis. They were really supportive, patient and helpful. They worked hard to make my children and I happy again, to bring back a good atmosphere after 8 years of separation. We are now together! I will never hesitate to recommend people to Duncan Lewis. Bravo" (DRC - Family Reunion) (December 2023)
- "Katie is a friendly lawyer and her service is good.. she dealt with me with transparancy and credibility... I was fully informed with her about my file and she responded quickly. I wish her good luck and success" (Asylum - Palestine) (June 2024)
