Domestic Violence.

Domestic Violence Claims & Domestic Abuse Solicitors.

Domestic Violence is any act of physical, verbal, emotional or sexual abuse in a domestic setting between family members or cohabitees including violent acts against a spouse or partner, child or the elderly.

If you, or someone you know, has been the victim of domestic violence, having an experienced, sympathetic legal specialist on your side can be a massive help.

The Family Law Solicitors team here at Lanyon Bowdler specialise in providing friendly, down-to-earth advice for anyone affected by domestic violence or abuse.

Domestic Violence Law

It’s important to know your rights, and our experienced domestic violence law specialists will be able to talk you through the options available to you.

Did you know…?

  • You can apply for a civil court order to prevent your abuser from harassing you.
  • If a member of your family carries out an assault, it is still subject to the same criminal laws as if it had been carried out by a stranger.
  • Abuse victims are entitled to help if they are in need of temporary or permanent accommodation.
  • The law in England and Wales can be used to protect any children affected by domestic violence, whether directly or indirectly.
  • Everyone is entitled to help and advice related to forced marriages and honour-based violence.

Lanyon Bowdler’s Domestic Violence Solicitors have the expertise and experience to help with applications to family law courts regarding where any children should live following an instance of domestic violence, as well as injunctions to prevent an abuser from harassing you or your family.

We pride ourselves on being a friendly and approachable law firm, and our domestic violence law specialists understand that these cases require a sympathetic and discreet approach. Contact Lanyon Bowdler today.

Martyn

After the solicitor firm I was using for my divorce couldn’t get it settled in two years, I transferred to Lanyon Bowdler. Within seven months they got it completely finished and over with. They proactively pushed to get my case closed and were supportive throughout. Absolutely worthy to be called the best.
