Thank you Anmol, Thank you Duncan Lewis Solicitors....

I met my case worker, Anmol Kaur in August 2024. She handled my case with professionalism and also emphatic at the same time. She responded to all my ...enquiries and emails promptly. She was calm all through the process and never shut me down whenever I called. She made me comfortable even in the eyes of the storm. I have a successful story to tell due to Anmol's hard work, professionalism and attention to details.
