I am a Family and Child Care Solicitor in the Birmingham office and was appointed as a Supervisor in August 2022. I joined Duncan Lewis Solicitors in April 2016 and have excelled both personally and professionally. Cases can be traumatic and difficult for everyone involved and I pride myself on the empathy and support that I provide my clients. I undertake my own advocacy, representing clients at the family court before district judges, circuit judges and the magistrates. I have a great deal of experience in assisting sensitive and vulnerable clients as I am able to adapt to each case of any given manner whilst maintaining a high level of professionalism. Although I primarily deal with public and private law proceedings, my caseload consists of, but is not limited to: Care proceedings (Local Authority involvement) Private law proceedings (applications for contact and residence) Emergency injunctions Forced marriage proceedings Divorce proceedings Financial proceedings Over the years, I have gained significant experience in dealing with cases involving allegations of sexual abuse, female genital mutilation, non-accidental injuries, interlinked immigration issues and forced marriages. I have also represented parents in the High Court in wardship proceedings and child abduction matters. Since joining Duncan Lewis Solicitors, I have built and maintained a positive rapport with clients and counsel specialising in the same area of law.
