How we help you obtain protection and peace of mind

We guide you through every step of applying for court injunctions to keep you safe and secure your home environment.

When you face domestic abuse, understanding your legal options is crucial. We begin by listening carefully to your circumstances and assessing the risks to you and your family. If needed, we help you apply for injunctions called non-molestation orders, which legally prevent an abuser from contacting or approaching you, and occupation orders, which can exclude an abuser from your home.

These court orders can be granted urgently, even without the abuser’s presence, to provide immediate protection. We prepare thorough applications, gathering any evidence needed to support your case, and represent you at court hearings.

Our team also advises on other aspects of family law connected to domestic abuse, such as child arrangements or financial protection, ensuring a holistic approach to your safety and welfare.

We recognise that going through legal proceedings can be overwhelming. That’s why we are always available to explain what to expect and to ensure you feel supported, informed, and empowered. We tailor our approach to your unique situation, aiming for swift, effective protection while minimising stress.

By placing your safety and peace of mind at the centre, we help you take control and rebuild your life with confidence – as your support partner through every stage.
