Domestic Abuse Solicitors

Domestic abuse can take many forms, including physical, emotional, financial, and psychological abuse, as well as controlling and coercive behaviour. It can be isolating, frightening, and harmful. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse, you’re not alone. Our team of experienced legal professionals is here to provide the legal support you need.

The first step is often the hardest: reaching out to seek help and support, especially as the abuse has often been taking place over a long period of time. We understand this and will communicate and meet with a party in whatever way is best and safest for them, often alongside domestic abuse support workers to guide the survivor through their options and any plans of action.

The court can grant injunctions and orders to protect you, and these remedies are closely tailored to your needs and specific situations. Non-molestation injunctions can protect the individual, a child, or other family members, as well as property. Injunctions can remain in force for as long as the court orders, and they can be for life. Occupation orders can be coupled with injunctions regulating the occupation of the family home. The court also has the power to order a party to pay the rent, mortgage, or other outgoings associated with the property.

We provide support in total confidence and will offer advice on the legal remedies available, so you can make an informed decision about the next steps to take. We can obtain court orders to protect you from domestic abuse and exclude the perpetrator from your home.

We are one of the few firms left to offer legal aid to cases involving domestic abuse, as we are passionate about what we do. Everyone has the right to live free from abuse, and we will help anyone we can in these circumstances.
