I am a Director of Housing/Property Litigation at Duncan Lewis Solicitors. I have over 15 years’ experience in housing and property litigation law. I litigate and deal with a wide variety of housing and property law dispute cases including possession claims and eviction matters, landlord and tenant disputes, homelessness, housing disrepair, bringing judicial review matters, review/appeals relating to local authority housing decisions, bringing and defending injunctions, boundary disputes, property nuisance/negligence claims, consumer and contractual matter, debt recovery and enforcement. I have considerable experience dealing with small claims cases to multi-track cases and undertake my own advocacy at Court and Tribunals on behalf of my clients. I am dedicated and determined to achieve the best possible outcome for my clients. I have earned a reputation for taking on difficult cases that no one thinks can succeed and I have gone on to obtain excellent results for my clients. I have also built good relations with external agencies and I am always on hand to answer housing queries and give guidance. I have appeared on TalkRadio Live and other media outlets on more than one occasion discussing the needs of the victims of the 2017 Grenfell disaster and how the cuts to legal aid for housing disrepair have impacted vulnerable tenants. I have also been interviewed to discuss the Government’s low levels of spending on social housing and the impact on landlords and tenants during the COVID-19 outbreak. In addition, I have written articles for a number of media platforms about current social housing issues. I was also a speaker at Liverpool's Law Society Housing Conference 2024 discussing Housing Conditions claims. I am ranked as a 'Leading Individual', 'Next Generation Partner' and 'Recommended Lawyer' by The Legal 500 for my social housing work across London and in the South-East. I am also ranked in Chambers and Partners.

Excellent service

Frank Oppong handled my case with professionalism and understanding, and kept me updated in a timely manner from start to finish. I felt I was advised well and that my concerns were truly listened to, which lead to a favourable outcome. I would most certainly recommend this firm, and Frank Oppong in particular.

Review of my experience with Duncan Lewis Solicitors.

I would like to share some feedback about how my case was handled by Duncan Lewis Solicitors and the support I received during the process. From the start, the way my case was managed in court gave me confidence that I was represented with attention. My lawyers made me feel supported and keep reassuring me during a very stressful time. I always felt that my concerns were taken seriously and that I was not facing the situation alone. Communication was reliable. My phone calls were returned rapidly, emails were clear and letters were always professional. That’s why I was able to stay calm and understand each step of the process. Quality of service was excellent. Whenever I had questions, someone was there to help. I felt Duncan Lewis Solicitors were knowledgeable and wanted to achieve the best result. The professionalism and legal expertise were superb. Everything was explained to me in a way that I could understand, and I always felt that I could trust the advice I was given. Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Manjinder Kaur Atwal for her support and kindness. Her help made a huge difference and I am really thankful for everything she did.

Consistently Excellent Service and Support

My case was handled very carefully and efficiently by Sailaja Tadepalli, caseworker, and Manjinder Kaur Atwal, Director and supervisor. They always made me feel supported and respected, especially as English is not my first language, and they took time to explain every step clearly. The communication by phone and email was excellent and timely, and I was always updated about what was happening in my case. They were available when I needed them, and I felt that they genuinely cared about my situation. Their professionalism and legal knowledge gave me a lot of confidence, and I am very grateful for the service I received.
