Henna Sajid

I am a Family and Child Care Solicitor in the Birmingham office and was appointed as a Supervisor in August 2022. I joined Duncan Lewis Solicitors in April 2016 and have excelled both personally and professionally.

Cases can be traumatic and difficult for everyone involved and I pride myself on the empathy and support that I provide my clients, particularly those who have been victims of domestic abuse. I regularly take instructions from parties, but not limited to, for the following;

- Non-Molestation Orders (urgent/non-urgent basis)
- Occupation Orders (urgent/non-urgent basis)
- Child arrangement Orders, including Prohibited Steps and Specific Issue Orders (urgent/non-urgent basis)
- Enforcement/variation of Orders
- Forced Marriage Protection Orders
- Female Genital Mutilation Orders

I regularly deal with CAFCASS and Guardian’s in proceedings regarding private disputes between parents/carers, in order to further my clients case and advise accordingly.

I undertake my own advocacy, representing clients at the family court across the country before district judges, circuit judges and the magistrates in order to provide consistency to those I represent. I am keen on building a positive yet professional relationship with my clients as I am aware of how difficult and challenging the Court process can be and therefore ensure my clients feel listened to and heard. My main aim is to explore all possible avenues in resolving the issues in hand, whilst providing realistic advice.

I have a great deal of experience in assisting sensitive and vulnerable clients, as well as those suffering from psychological and mental health difficulties. I am able to identify any support mechanisms that may assist my clients, right from the outset, to ensure fair participation in Court proceedings.

Instructing Solicitors can be a costly process, however I ensure to explore the possibility of legal aid with all those who instruct me.

I am fluent in Punjabi and Urdu.
