We have considerable experience in promptly dealing with domestic abuse cases. Where there is a real emergency we have obtained the protection of the Court on the first day the client has contacted us. Most frequently non-molestation and occupation orders are obtained. Our team take very seriously the huge stress and secrecy which surrounds domestic abuse. Domestic abuse can take many forms and we recognise that often happens behind closed doors and those who suffer from domestic abuse may blame themselves or learn to live with it. Domestic abuse is a criminal offence and you should contact the police if you fear for your safety. It is also possible to apply for protection from the Family or Civil Courts. We believe that everyone has the right to lead their lives without fear or threat of violence. There is often an unwillingness to seek help for a variety of reasons. When giving advice we will consider your needs in a sensitive manner.
