Director and Solicitor at Duncan Lewis Solicitors
I am a Director of Family and Child Care Department at Duncan Lewis Solicitors, primarily based in Peterborough and Cambridge. I also work with clients across the Bedfordshire area.
My areas of expertise include child care proceedings, acting for parents whose children have been removed from their care for a variety of reasons including drug abuse, physical abuse and poor home conditions. I seek to help the parents engage with the necessary professional services to obtain the help they need in order to have their children returned to their care safely.
I support vulnerable clients including domestic violence victims, clients who have suffered sexual abuse, and clients suffering with psychological issues. I have a track record of obtaining Non Molestation Orders for victims of domestic violence, ensuring they have the protection they need.
I also handle Private Children Law proceedings, obtaining Residence Orders, Contact Orders and Prohibited Steps Orders for my clients.

Given the complexity of these cases, specialist legal advice is vital. Duncan Lewis Solicitors provide expert support to help parents navigate this sensitive process.
