Domestic Abuse

Domestic abuse is a pervasive issue that transcends all sectors of society, affecting individuals regardless of sex, colour or creed. It is a serious concern that requires immediate attention and action. At BWS Law, we are committed to providing support and legal assistance to those affected my domestic abuse.

We work closely with other domestic abuse organisations to help keep our clients safe and provide them with the support they need.

Recent years have seen a troubling increase in domestic abuse cases. This rise is not confined to any one demographic; it affects people of all genders, races, and backgrounds. The impact of domestic abuse is profound, affecting not only the immediate victims but also their families and communities.

Protective Measures Available

From a family law perspective, there are several protective measures available to those experiencing domestic abuse including:

Non-Molestation Orders: These orders can prevent an abuser from using or threatening violence, harassing, or communicating with the victim. They are designed to protect the health, safety, and well-being of the victim and any children involved.

Occupation Orders: These orders regulate who can live in the family home and can exclude an abuser from the property. They can also designate areas of a jointly owned property if that is a workable solution for your case.

Navigating the legal system can be complex and overwhelming, especially when dealing with the emotional, psychological, financial and physical impact of domestic abuse. Having a solicitor can provide several benefits:

What our clients say about us

Based on 181 reviews

Sheila was simply excellent.
Great communications throughout the process. All dealt with very quickly and to our total satisfaction.
Very impressed and can highly recommend Sheila if you have a contentious probate situation.

Karishma S.

Fantastic service from BWS during my recent house sale and purchase. We promptly received a full quotation with no hidden extras or fees and this transparency really helped with our planning.
Rachel and Leanne, kept me and my husband upto date throughout the whole process both via emails and also through their online Redbrick portal which helpfully tracks the live progress of our case. There was always someone available for a phone call to answer any questions and give helpful advice.
Clear communication and reassurance made the whole process feel less stressful and everything moved along smoothly.
It gave me great confidence to use BWS again knowing my case was handled in safe hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend both BWS or Rachel.

Joseph L.

Fast and efficient service which is not always the case with most professional companies, highly recommend Peter Baker as a competent and efficient lawyer.

Laura

Ben N.

Couldn't have asked for any more from Andrew, Sharon and the team. Always available for a call and quickly responding to emails, lovely people too. Definitely 5 star

Abbie L.

Couldn’t recommend Sheila and Reanne enough! Both extremely helpful straight from the initial contact and keeping me informed and updated through out. Couldn’t thank them enough!

Barb

I'm really impressed by BWS Law, largely based on the support I've received from Georgia. She has guided and advised me on two major legal matters (with some background complexities) - my house move and preparing a will for me.

The Loughborough office is well placed, run very efficiently with polite and welcoming staff. Georgia is responsive, communicates well (and frequently) and has the right blend of professional and personal support which is critical in most situations where legal advice is required.

I would definitely recommend BWS Law without hesitation on the basis of my experiences this year.

Karen B.

This is the third time of using BWS Law. (The first time being a personal house sale with Erica Brownen, and the reason for me recommending the firm to the local council I work for.)
From beginning to end, for all 3 sales, the work has been outstanding.
Their fees are very competitive and extremely transparent, customer service is second to none, communication and responses are always prompt. They do not slow the process up at all, unlike other solicitors I have come across.
Special mentions to Nicola Stevenson - Associate Solicitor and Diane Hyde - Legal Secretary for their hard work!

David B.

Thank you to Adrian Ganderton, Erica Brownen and Hollie Lyn for their help and advice to me as an executor. With a special thank you to Hollie for her prompt attention to issues raised and her swift action on the ground was greatly appreciated.
