Abbey McElroy

I qualified as a Solicitor in June 2022 and completed my training contract at a Legal 500 firm in Essex. I joined Duncan Lewis as a Solicitor in the Child Care Department in May 2023.

I decided early on in my training contract not to take the traditional route of completing various ‘seats’. This is because I wanted to focus my training specifically on children and family matters, as this is the area of law that I have always sought to specialise in.

As a Solicitor, I have experience representing both parents and grandparents in both public and private law matters. I enjoy undertaking my own advocacy where possible to ensure consistency for all clients.

I have also regularly represented clients seeking injunctive protective relief from the Court, including both Non-Molestation and Occupation Orders.
