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.

Gerardine Buckley, Barrister

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.

Ms K – Brighton

Many thanks for your advice and guidance throughout this very stressful process. Your careful and considered approach, good advice and empathetic professionalism have helped to reduce my anxiety levels immeasurably. I would wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend your services to anyone going through this horrible process.

Confidential

Thank you for all your help Sarah. I would not have got to this point on my own without your help. I appreciate everything you’ve done and the way you have always been so approachable and understanding of my situation. Without having you there this past year, I would be in a much more anxious and unhappy state of mind – and I would have felt helpless and unable to speak during the hearings.

Ms G

Thank you for all your help through my divorce. It has truly been an incredibly stressful ordeal, much more than I ever thought it would be. What I originally thought would be a simple and even quick divorce and parting of the ways, turned into something really quite different and ugly. However, you have kept me updated through the whole procedure, explained my options to me and the process. Some of which not always clear to me so thank you for your patience. You have also been mindful of costings of which I am grateful. Your attention to detail was also very reassuring, especially at a times when I just wanted the whole thing to be over.
So again, thank you.
