Mustaiza Choudary

I am a solicitor in the Housing department at Duncan Lewis, based in the London City office, under the supervision of Director Bernadette Chikwe. I have extensive experience assisting the public with their housing matters, mostly under legal help and legal aid schemes.

I also undertake the role of the duty solicitor at Court assisting with a range of housing possession matters. Since September 2023, I have assisted over 300 clients in court in defending possession proceedings.

My experience in housing covers a wide range of legal housing matters, not limited to:

• Defending possession proceedings (Rent/Mortgage arrears, Anti-social behaviour, Disrepair counterclaims, Succession Claims)
• Service of notices on tenants and Unlawful evictions, etc.
• Homelessness applications
• Reviews and appeals of local authority decisions

• Postgraduate Diploma in Legal Practice (LPC) (2017 - 2019)
• LLB Honours with Criminology (2012 - 2015)

• Duncan Lewis Solicitors (2023 - Present)
• MTG Solicitors (2020 - 2023)

• "When I had the first hearing of my case I had no idea what to do and Duncan Lewis Solicitors advised me immediately. The person who helped me with my case was very professional and they even hired a translator for me as my English is not very good. During the time the case was going on they were in contact with me by phone calls and emails. In conclusion I recommend Duncan Lewis Solicitors because they are very professional and friendly."
