Profile / Experience
I am a caseworker in the Child Care department at the Leicester office of Duncan Lewis Solicitors. I joined the firm in March 2020 and work under the supervision of director Olamide Olayemi, with a team of solicitors, trainees and caseworkers that specialise in all aspects of matrimonial and children law.
I obtained my LLB Law with Criminology at Bangor University. My key interest is in all aspects of family law and childcare. I have a wealth of experience working in family law and continue to assist with childcare proceedings.
I have a varied experience of the different areas within family law, including divorce; childcare and child arrangement matters; and financial matters. I have developed a holistic understanding of the family law sector and am confident when communicating with external stakeholders including CAFCASS. I am skilled in the preparations involved before a court hearing and often attend court with the solicitor or on behalf of the solicitor to assist counsel. I attend Fact-Finding Hearings and Final Hearings for Child Arrangement Proceedings. Throughout all cases I am driven to deliver the best outcome for our clients and I endeavour to ensure that the client is updated with the progress of their case at all times.
