Michelle Thomas

I am a Solicitor in the Child Care department at Duncan Lewis, based in the City of London office. I was admitted as a Solicitor in 2023, and I have experience in both public and private law children matters, such as:

• Care Proceedings
• Child Arrangements for Residence and Contact
• Prohibited Steps Orders
• Specific Issue Orders
• Special Guardianship Orders
• Non-Molestation and Occupation Orders

I also have experience representing parents through international disputes such as abduction and contact under the Hague Convention. I have extensive experience representing clients who are eligible for public funding (Legal Aid).

I have a genuine passion to represent and assist parents who are vulnerable and need their voice to be heard, whilst still ensuring that they are being advised properly.
