Duncan Lewis Solicitors

Family and Child Care

Meena Kumari is a Family & Childcare Director and Solicitor. She works regionally across our Bradford and Manchester branches, with a wealth of experience in complex children cases with an international element or where the children have special needs. Meena actively encourages parents to resolve disputes regarding their children in a non-confrontational manner.

Meena has particular expertise in negotiating medium to high net financial settlements for clients in the course of separation, divorce and dissolution of civil partnership. This is an area of family law which can require a tenacious and proactive approach as well as meticulous attention to detail as failing to address difficult and complex financial issues promptly can lead to lengthy and costly delays. Meena has represented high profile individuals in achieving a beneficial result.

Meena believes in adopting a proactive rather than a reactive approach to family law in each of its very different facets and strive to ensure that what is often a very difficult situation for clients is not made more difficult by reason of inaction or lack of foresight. She has a passion for advocacy and represents the majority of my clients’ at every court hearing.

She is an active member of the Law Society’s Family Panel (Advanced) and in 2015 Meena joined the Law Society Law management section where she shares her management knowledge and skills amongst other members in the profession. Meena has also trained as a collaborative lawyer. She is passionate about providing a voice to the most vulnerable in society. She has historically set up legal surgeries and clinics to assist these individuals.
