The Police in the UK receive one call about domestic abuse every minute. That’s an alarming statistic but there’s no need for victims of domestic abuse, whether it’s physical or mental, to suffer in silence as the Courts can offer protection to those that need it and have the power to make Orders/Injunctions that can protect you.

If you are a victim or the sufferer is a child, dependent or relative, our sensitive team can help and will take the relevant steps for you to ensure your or their safety.

We offer legal aid (where eligible) and fixed fees (where appropriate) within our Family Law department and can also help you with divorce and child care matters.

Get in touch today to find out your options but, if you are concerned for your or anyone else’s immediate safety, please contact the police on 999.
