Combining a 'forensic approach to case preparation' with 'exceptional client care skills’, the Swansea office of Duncan Lewis Solicitors is a popular choice for clients seeking to assert and/or to challenge decisions made before the UK courts, in turn gaining the reputation of being the 'unsung heroes of strategic litigation in refugee and immigration law'. 'Hardworking' team head Vinita Templeton regularly acts for vulnerable clients, including those that have been the victims of torture and human trafficking, and has a superb reputation handling claimant judicial review matters, often in cases where appeal rights had previously been exhausted. Consultant solicitor Vanessa Delgado is a 'powerhouse in the refugee field', recently securing a rare judgment before the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) against the UK government granting admissibility in relation to a case involving a Stateless Palestinian Refugee asserting a fear and real risk of Article 3 ECHR serious harm on return, on account of forced recruitment by one of the terrorist extremist organisations in the camp.
