Specialist domestic abuse solicitors

We regularly deal with cases involving physical abuse, sexual abuse, violent or threatening behaviour, controlling or coercive behaviour and economic abuse, all of which can directly affect children whether they are the intended victim or not, either through exposure to domestic abuse or as a result of the impact of abusive behaviour on a parent or caregiver.

Our extensive work in this field means that we are uniquely positioned to advise you on the court’s likely approach to any allegations of domestic abuse and how this may impact on the court’s decision regarding child arrangements.

In addition to supporting you through the legal process, we will also provide you with practical and emotional support drawing on our extensive training in the field of domestic abuse, which may include engaging other professionals to carry out assessments or provide further support.
