Support for Victims of Domestic Abuse

At Alletsons Solicitors, we offer a dedicated domestic abuse service, delivered by solicitors with specialist accreditation and experience. We understand that domestic abuse can go unnoticed or unreported for a long time, and that reaching out for help can be a very difficult and brave step.
​
We will always treat you with compassion and respect. Our team will talk you through all available legal options and support services, including:

• Contacting the police for protection
• Applying to the civil courts for emergency injunctions
• Seeking non-molestation orders
• Applying for occupation orders
• Seeking Harassment Act injunctions

Where necessary, we can act quickly to apply for emergency protective orders from the courts.

Legal aid is available for this type of case, depending on your financial circumstances. We can advise you on eligibility and help you apply.

If you are experiencing domestic abuse, you are not alone. Speak to one of our friendly and supportive solicitors today, we are here to help you take the next step safely.

Advice for Alleged Perpetrators of Domestic Abuse

If you are facing allegations of domestic abuse, it is important to seek legal advice at an early stage. At Alletsons Solicitors, we can help you respond to claims made against you and ensure your voice is heard.

Whether you fully deny the allegations or wish to have a say in how the Police or the Civil Courts handle the situation, we are here to advise and support you throughout the process.

Please note that legal aid is not usually available in these circumstances, but we will always be transparent about likely costs and provide clear guidance.

If you have been accused of domestic abuse, contact us to discuss your legal rights and options in confidence.
