Domestic Abuse Solicitors

Our solicitors will guide you through every step of the process, including:

• Explaining the legal process and your options
• Preparing the court application
• Representing you in court

Breaching these injunctions is a criminal offence, and they must be hand-delivered to the perpetrator and provided to the police. We will liaise with the police and a process server on your behalf to ensure your safety and compliance with legal procedures.

Legal aid is available for protective injunctions, subject to meeting the Legal Aid Agency criteria. We work closely with local support agencies who can often assist with providing the necessary evidence to support your case.

We recognise that taking the step to leave your partner and seek help can be daunting. That's why we encourage you to bring a support worker to your meetings and court appearances if it makes you feel more comfortable. Our aim is to make this process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

If you need our assistance, you can reach out to us in several ways:

• Using our callback or email contact form above
• Calling us on 01724 281616
• Visiting one of our offices in person

We are here to support you every step of the way and ensure you have the protection and legal assistance you need.

It’s common to worry about the impact on your family, especially children. However, research shows that children living in abusive households are at greater risk of physical and emotional harm. Ensuring the safety of you and your children is the priority.

Social services aim to support you and ensure your safety and that of your children or any vulnerable adults. They can help connect you with local resources, including housing, health services, and domestic abuse support services.

Organisations like Victim Support are committed to believing and supporting survivors. They work with other agencies to ensure you get the help you need and feel believed and validated.

Leaving an abusive relationship is a personal decision. Support organisations can help you think through your options and provide resources like financial, housing, health, and legal support, regardless of whether you choose to leave or stay.

Adolescent to parent violence and abuse (APVA) is recognised as an area needing support. It's important for the safety of the child and other family members to seek help and interventions.
