I am a Housing Solicitor and Supervisor at Duncan Lewis' City of London office. I joined the firm as an intern in July 2014 and gained experience within family matters such as Islamic Marriages and Divorces, Finances, Islamic Mehr Claims and Children matters.

Whilst at Duncan Lewis, I have taken part in volunteering at the Pro Bono Clinic and projects including Register Our Marriage 'ROM' campaign and Macmillan Cancer support events.

Since April 2016, I have been handling housing matters including Homelessness, Disrepair, Statutory Reviews and Appeals, Eviction/Unlawful Eviction and Possession Proceedings.

I was offered a solicitor Training Contract in the Housing Department in March 2017 and gained quality experience in Neighbour Disputes and Litigation cases. I attend court as a Housing Duty Solicitor at Central London and Barnet County Court where I handle possession/eviction and mortgage/debt matters. I have strong experience in advocacy and representing clients at court.

I qualified as a Solicitor in March 2019 and was offered a Supervisor role in April 2021. Since, I have been supervising my own team of housing caseworkers.

I take the role of advising clients on Housing matters at Citizens Advice Bureau at Epping Forest District. I am also proud to be part of the Duncan Lewis Charity Committee.

Testimonials

  • “I was extremely impressed with the advocacy service offered by Zuhal at Duncan Lewis to a client I was supporting at the time. She gave us regular updates regarding progress of the case and the outcome was successful.” - Family Support Practitioner, Hackney Children’s Centre

  • "Zuhal is a friendly and approachable person who has your genuine interest at heart above everything. She explains everything clearly and is as determined as you are to get things sorted out fairly and reasonably. She has been wonderful with my father's case. Through her hard work and professionalism we were able to obtain the positive outcome that we were looking for. We can't thank her enough for all her support and help on this case." - S.A

  • “I really do not know where to start from as there is so much goodness to say about Zuhal. Most importantly the council property I had was taken off me without a valid reason, and when I approached Zuhal initially I did not know my rights and to be honest I had doubts I would win the case. Zuhal has worked hard for my complex case which lasted for two years. The attention to detail and rigorous working on my case, Zuhal has gained back my right in my property with my children. I thank Zuhal and Duncan Lewis family." - Z.E

  • “Zuhal got me through the hardest time of my life. I am very grateful. Zuhal is very professional, helpful and a very nice person.” - M.L
