Domestic Violence

Home   »   Domestic Violence

Domestic abuse is an incredibly serious issue which can affect anyone. At Brighton & Hove Law, we recognise the need to work sensitively in cases where domestic abuse may be present to ensure the safety and wellbeing of those involved.

How can we help?

We offer free 30-minute consultations for those in need of advice. We also offer reduced rates for those experiencing domestic abuse. We are able to assist victims in obtaining court orders for protection, and can organise the implementation of non-molestation orders. In emergency situations, we can work out of office hours to ensure such applications are dealt with in court the next day.

We recognise the importance of working swiftly and decisively when it comes to domestic abuse, and will ensure all applications are made without delay. Where appropriate, we can also deal with issues under public funding (Legal Aid). We also work closely alongside organisations such as RISE, a domestic violence organisation and can refer you to agencies that will provide you with the support needed for your specific circumstances.

In an emergency situation, telephone the police immediately at 999.

Client Testimonials

You all helped me through a really tough and stressful situation.  Thank you so much.

Mr M 

Lucy has the rare quality of combining compassion and understanding with excellent knowledge and professionalism. She always made sure I understood what were sometimes difficult legal processes and she was realistic about time-frames and risks. Lucy manages to calm difficult situations and we got the best result possible. I hope I won’t need her services again but have already recommended her to a colleague.

Ms C

If I could give an abundance of stars to rate Brighton and Hove Law I would. They have given an excellent service all round.
The care and personal attention given has been amazing. The support and understanding has been unmeasurable.

Confidential

It is always a pleasure to receive a brief from Jennifer Lynch and Lucy Gregory. They are detailed and helpful which greatly assists in the through prep of a case. Their robust approach and collaborative working is reassuring for clients and energising to work with.

Sarah Dummett and Ellie Chapman provide a first class, client focused service. Their advice and approach is accessible while robust.

Ayisha Robertson, Barrister

Samantha Barker at Brighton and Hove Law conducts her cases with competent vigour which undoubtedly makes the role of our barristers seamless. 

Steve Lavell, Director of Clerking

Samantha Barker is a highly driven solicitor, who is passionate about client care. She goes over and beyond to serve her clients and is meticulous in preparation of highly sensitive and serious cases. I am always fully instructed by her within childcare family proceedings and find that her case management and follow up of the proceedings, is highly professional. Ms Barker is highly motivated in obtaining the best outcome for her clients.

Aisha Jamil, Barrister

Lucy provided services as my solicitor long-distance. I was residing in the US while my case was ongoing in the UK court. I had the pleasure of meeting her face-to-face for an initial consultation before my return to the US and she was very professional in all correspondence until matters came to a conclusion.

She was always very happy to answer questions thoroughly and schedule long-distance phone calls when I requested them. She has a very kind and professional nature. Needless to say, she made what could have been an exhausting process extremely painless. I highly recommend her.

Ms S 

Hello Lucy,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you very much for all your brilliant advice. I don’t think I would have got through it all without your support. I will certainly recommend you to anyone who needs an excellent solicitor.
