Duncan has worked in actions against police since 2012 and prior to that within criminal defence. He also pursues discrimination claims on behalf of Traveller clients, where they have been refused service because that particular business discriminates against Travellers.
Typically, cases will involve allegations of wrongful arrest / false imprisonment, assault, malicious prosecution and will often include claims brought under the Human Rights Act and Equality Act.
Duncan was featured as “lawyer in the news” in the Law Society Gazette in January 2015 following a religious discrimination case brought against HMP Belmarsh on behalf of a criminal defence solicitor refused entry to the prison.
He is also a member of the Police Action Lawyers Group and on the Pro Bono Panel for the Travellers Movement Equality and Social Justice Unit.

Just some of Duncan’s reviews
I would like to highly commend Duncan Burtwell for his thorough and diligent work in securing compensation from two entitles, after I was subjected to abhorrent and distressing treatment. Duncan was understanding, empathetic, reassuring and concise with every part of the process. Thank you Duncan, I highly recommend both Duncan and MK Law.
I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional legal team at MK Law Solicitors. Throughout the entire legal process, I consistently felt comfortable and at ease thanks to the reassuring guidance and support provided by Duncan Burtwell, Manisha Knights and Kimberly Young. Their collective attention to detail and professionalism ensured no stone was left unturned in building a strong case. I never once felt overwhelmed or uncertain, knowing that I had a team who had my best interests at heart. I am immensely grateful for their support and guidance throughout my successful case, and I am confident that anyone who seeks their services will experience the same level of dedication and success. Thank you, Duncan, Manisha, and Kimberly, for your exceptional work!
Someone recommended MK Law Solicitors to me and had put me in contact with Mr Duncan. He took down all relevant details required and told me to leave it with him. He gave me all the information that were useful to me. Broke down what my rights are and what the next step was.
Not long after I was contacted by Mr Duncan and was told. I won the case and was fairly compensated. Overall. I was more than happy with the service. I would highly recommend and wouldn’t think twice to use again. Thank you, MK law solicitors and Mr Duncan for your service.
I am more than pleased to write this review praising and thanking MK Law and the solicitor who dealt with my case, Mr Duncan Burtwell. In conclusion to the case, I received £15,500 from the chief constable of Kent for being arrested on three occasions all without foundation or legal standing. I can recommend this firm and their high standard of expertise and thank them for the hard work in bringing this to a conclusion.

Top firm
Top Top law firm. MK Law handled a case I was involved in & the service was fantastic. I was constantly kept informed and was able to call up and get further information immediately. Duncan Burtwell was amazing for me throughout the entire process. I was amazed with how professional he was whilst also having an understanding of the psychological effects of the case keeping me grounded throughout.
Superb
I can only describe the work MK Law completed on the behalf of my son and I as superb. Duncan Burtwell handled a complaint against the Met police brilliantly, he is a man on top of his game!!
