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
