Terisa Chaudary – biography
Terisa is passionate about criminal justice, advocating for fairness, second chances, and systemic reform. She is dedicated to supporting the most vulnerable and addressing racial and ethnic disparities in the UK’s judicial system. She believes the justice system should focus on rehabilitation over punishment, tackling the root causes of crime—shame, trauma, and exclusion—rather than reinforcing them through isolation and harsh sentencing. Her focus is on promoting fairness and a justice system where equality, understanding, and reintegration are the standard, not the exception.
She earned her law degree from Swansea University, holds a master’s in International Human Rights Law from Groningen University, and is completing the part-time Legal Practice Course at the University of Westminster. She is now accredited as a police station representative and represents clients at the grassroots stage from initial arrest, experience that contributes directly to her path to qualifying as a solicitor in summer 2026.
One of Terisa’s notable achievements includes helping to secure a client’s acquittal on insanity grounds after obtaining medical records and expert reports, leading the prosecution to offer no evidence. Another involved successfully defending a client facing charges under the Dangerous Dogs Act, preventing the seizure and destruction of her dog. She takes a compassionate and client-focused approach, ensuring every client feels heard, supported, and treated with dignity throughout the legal process.

Just some of Terisa’s reviews
Only place I would recommend
If you ever find yourself in any legal trouble, MK Law is the only place I would recommend you seek representation from. Their unrivalled commitment to my case is what stood out for me. I could reach my point of contact Terisa at any time even if it was for generic advice. She never left me in the dark and kept me updated with the status of my case.
Also, I would like to give an honourable mention to my barrister, Siobhan, from 3TG Chambers. She articulates herself very well and was supportive throughout the duration of my sentencing. Hats off to her for pushing for the suspended sentence when I was 90% sure I was about to receive a custodial term.
I wish both of them the best in their future endeavours and again, MK Law is the ONLY place you should go choose to represent you in any matters.
Excellent job
I would like to thank Terisa your solicitor that works from your Bromley branch on doing a excellent job for my son James Day
Could not have asked for more
I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional team at MK Law Solicitors. Special mention for Terisa, Tom, Alex & Hesham. I constantly felt comfortable and at ease whilst in communication and in person. They handled my case assertively and professionally and could not have asked for more.
Life saving bastions of justice and righteousness
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to MK Law for handling my case. Thanks to their professional research and investigative skills, I was found not guilty of the allegation of assault against me. I was shocked that such false accusations could be made, but with only three weeks to gather materials for the case, MK Law proved to be a reliable ally. I am immensely grateful for Hesham Puri’s courtroom expertise and professionalism in presenting my case. Terisa Chaudary’s efficient background checks and collection of necessary documents within such a short timeframe were crucial to the successful outcome of the case. The thorough investigation on the alleged victims, which revealed a history of assaulting others, played a significant role in proving my innocence. I have never committed assault, and the support provided by MK Law was invaluable during this challenging time. I highly recommend them and would like to award them a five-star rating for their exceptional professionalism and dedication to their clients.
Highly recommend

Rachel
I called early Monday morning. The woman (Terisa) I spoke to was informed, helpful and patient. I was reassured and knew what to do after our call.
I had contacted 12 criminal defence firms recommended by the Law Society that morning. 4 answered the call. MK Law and one other advised me. I am waiting to hear back from the others.
I cannot recommend MKLaw highly enough. With the devastating cuts to Legal Aid I count myself as fortunate that such a firm still exists.

My husband had to go to court he needed expert advice and representation. The first person he met at MK Law was a lovely lady called Terisa, who was so nice, caring and supportive, you could not meet a nicer person. When he attended court he was represented by Sarah, she was excellent one couldn’t ask for a better defence lawyer. He had to return to court and then he was represented by David who was able to conclude this matter to which we are truly grateful. Thank you so much for all your help and support representing my husband ‘Mr Walter’, words are just not enough.
Some of Terisa’ notable cases
Terisa Chaudary represented a client charged with conveying a List A article into prison (cannabis) and simple possession. The offending arose in the context of longstanding domestic abuse, with our client acting under significant pressure following threats made against her.
A carefully drafted basis of plea was advanced, although it did not meet the legal threshold for duress. The Crown rejected this, leading to a Newton hearing. Following the client’s evidence and compelling expert evidence, the Court accepted our client’s account.
Our client was facing serious allegations including kidnapping, false imprisonment, and harassment with fear of violence. Through a strong and carefully planned defence strategy, the most serious charges were dismissed before trial due to insufficient evidence.

Terisa Chaudary secured an excellent outcome for two clients wrongly accused of carrying offensive weapons during the Covid period. Although found with tools, both had clear and legitimate explanations, supported by evidence and expert opinion.
Following strong defence preparation and advocacy, the prosecution offered no evidence, accepting it was not in the public interest to proceed. The charges were dismissed, bringing the case to an end.

Case Success for our client facing two charges under the Dangerous Dogs Act:
• Being in charge of a dog dangerously out of control (no injury caused)
• Allowing a fighting dog to be in a public place without a muzzle or lead
Conviction on either count would have resulted in an application for a destruction order.
At trial, the prosecution sought an adjournment when the complainant became unavailable. Instructed by Terisa, Georgina Lane of 5 St Andrew’s Hill opposed on the basis of the complainant’s inadequate explanation, the client’s youth, lack of previous experience in the criminal justice system, and the ongoing distress caused by proceedings and the seizure of her dog.
The bench refused the adjournment. The prosecution later confirmed it could not proceed via live link and formally offered no evidence on both charges.
A strong outcome for the client, who can now be reunited with her dog.
