Duncan Lewis Solicitors

Housing

Housing director Alison Winfield has extensive expertise in housing law and litigates across a range of housing matters including homelessness, possession proceedings, rent arrears and anti-social behaviour, injunctions under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, breach/committal proceedings, unlawful eviction, and disrepair.

Alison’s experience handling cases in the county courts spans over twelve years. She acts for both landlords and tenants allowing her to represent both sets of clients effectively thanks to the insight, understanding and knowledge she has developed through tackling issues from both sides. She has a particular interest in handling cases of anti-social behaviour that involve mental health aspects.

She has broadened her expertise by branching out into other areas of general civil litigation including breach of contract cases and property disputes.

Alison was admitted as a solicitor in September 2010 and after working as a solicitor at various companies, joined Duncan Lewis Solicitors in January 2020.

Alison received her LLB from the University of Bristol and completed the LPC at Nottingham Trent University.
