Miranda Quashie

I am a Trainee Solicitor in the Housing department at Duncan Lewis Solicitors. I currently work under the supervision of solicitor, Daljit Singh Shina, alongside a team of solicitors and caseworkers.

As part of the housing team, I am instructed on a variety of publicly and privately funded social housing matters concerning challenges to housing authorities, such as homelessness (including reviews and appeals to the County Court), suitability review cases, housing litigation matters, eviction and possession proceedings, disrepair, harassment and injunction proceedings and judicial review applications.

Through my experience at Duncan Lewis Solicitors, I have been able to advise and assist clients with various funding requirements to ensure they can benefit from our legal services. I have supported clients who require legal aid funding, as well as advising and assisting clients who have opted for a Conditional Fee Agreement (“no-win, no-fee”).

I am committed to having a collaborative approach when working with all clients and other stakeholders to help resolve disputes and achieve the best possible outcome for our clients.

Through my work, I have had the opportunity to build relationships with vulnerable clients who have physical or learning disabilities, mental health conditions and clients who are victims of domestic violence or abuse.

I have had the privilege of supporting the Housing Law Solicitors within my team at mortgage and possession hearings through the Housing Possession Court Duty Scheme in London. Through the experience, I have learned the essential skill of quickly assimilating information to identify key legal issues and clarifying uncertainty through eliciting information.

My experience at the Housing Possession Court Duty Scheme has improved my knowledge of relevant jurisdiction, law and practice and I am encouraged to continue demonstrating an ability and willingness to learn and develop professionally.

• "My experience with Duncan Lewis Solicitors has been tremendous and the solicitor responsible for that is Miranda Quashie. I would highly recommend anyone who requires legal support in the area of Housing to ask for Miranda Quashie. Miranda possesses all the traits of a competent solicitor, her soft nature professionalism efficiency, and her delivery were the main things that were apparent for me. She always kept me up to date with next steps and advised me where necessary. She was extremely thorough and transparent. Miranda was very consistent with her interactions with me whether by email or over the phone. There were rarely moments of me wondering what was going on with my case which gave me a great sense of reassurance and peace of mind. In addition, I must say during the two years Miranda worked with me she managed to establish justice in both years which has moved mountains and put me in an excellent position where I now feel more optimistic about my opportunities for me and my family. Miranda, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart you really made a difference and that is what makes the world go around. Keep aspiring and thriving, you are an amazing trainee solicitor! A great ambassador and a true asset to Duncan Lewis Solicitors. Thank you to Duncan Lewis Solicitors as they helped bring my case to light, you are truly appreciated." - Client (February 2024)
