Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

I am a Solicitor in the Family Department at Duncan Lewis Solicitors. I joined Duncan Lewis in July 2019 as a caseworker in the family department. I began my training contract in February 2020 and completed my seats in family, child care, and international child abduction and adoption before qualifying as a solicitor. I qualified in March 2022. I have gained this experience working with Mr. Vanket Appalakondiah who is a director and a solicitor within the Family Department. I have an extensive experience of dealing with family law matters which includes private law children’s matter such as Child Arrangement Orders, Prohibited Steps Orders, and Specific Issues Orders etc. I also deal with divorces and public law children’s matters such as care proceedings, Special Guardianship Orders etc. I represent parents in public law children’s matters. Mainly the public law cases involving trio of domestic abuse, substance misuse and alcohol abuse. I also have experience in matters relating to mental health issues such as PTSD, personality disorders and where children are beyond parental control which also includes violence and inappropriate sexual behaviour. I have represented clients in their Public Law Outline (PLO) meetings which is the step before the Local Authority applies for a Care Proceedings. I represent parents in relation to their private law children’s matters where Cafcass will provide the court with their independent, non-biased reports in relation to both parents which will help the court to give the judgment which focuses on welfare of the children and what is in their best interest. I also address the concerns parents might in relation to children’s safety. I have also represented clients who have suffered domestic abuse, clients who need their right in terms of Transfer of Tenancy, Occupation Orders etc. Further, I have represented clients where their child is subject to Local Authority’s application for DoLS (Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards Order). I am fluent in Hindi and Gujarati.

Family Law

“Professional, supportive and clear throughout”

I am very grateful for the ongoing support I continue to receive from Duncan Lewis Solicitors Ltd, especially from Bansari Mevcha, who has represented me across multiple ongoing family law matters, including Financial Remedies. Dealing with family, children, and divorce matters can be incredibly stressful and emotionally challenging, but throughout the process I have felt genuinely supported, listened to, and reassured. Bansari has always been professional, approachable, and understanding. She explains everything clearly in a way that is easy to understand and provides practical and honest advice which has helped me make informed decisions during a very difficult time. I have always been kept updated on my matters, and communication has consistently been timely, professional, and reassuring. What I appreciate most is her calm and supportive manner alongside her strong legal knowledge and commitment to my case. The support I continue to receive has made a difficult situation much easier to navigate, and I feel confident that my matters are being handled with care and professionalism. I would definitely recommend Duncan Lewis Solicitors, and Bansari Mevcha to anyone needing reliable and supportive family law representation.

Disappointed already former customer

My needs as a customer didn’t meet understanding even from the director. Duncan Lewis didn’t allow me to choose my language speaking solicitor otherwise they said that customers have right to choose by his own. It was quite difficult to make them to do any additional job/statement as it seems the legal Aid has restrictions. You become convicted in advance because the true left hidden, impotent sacral information wasn’t sent to the court and didn’t reach the judge. They changed my solicitor- first was counsel after that they informed me I have a new solicitor which breaks down the information about your case and restart it again and again. They hadn’t desire to hear understand customer’s needs.
