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:

Excellent service, as always, from Andrew - who is always on the ball and does what he says he'll do, and in a timely manner.

Having previously used Bird, Wilford & Sale previously, I thought I would contact them to draft my will. I was put in touch with Georgia Houghton, who from the outset has been extremely helpful. She is always on hand to answer any questions and is incredibly patient and understanding when explaining the process.

I’ve since been in contact with Georgia regarding other personal matters, and she has handled everything with the same professionalism and care. I would highly recommend.

We visited BWS Law in Loughborough to have some documents certified. Chloe Shipley the Family Solicitor and Hollie-May Goodwin the Legal Assistant were both friendly, professional, and efficient. Communication was clear and the process was quick and straightforward. The office in Loughborough is lovely. We would highly recommend.

Updated review:

We have now completed on the sale aspect of the process. The 5 star comfortably still stands. Roy and Nicole were incredibly communicative, efficient and effective. We thoroughly recommend BWS. You would be in the safest of hands with their service.

....

We instructed BWS for the both sale and purchase of properties. We have now completed of the purchase element so I felt it was appropriate to provide some feedback. We worked closely with Roy and Nicole and we cannot thank them enough. They were communicative, available and importantly, very efficient. They worked diligently to meet our deadlines and communicate on our behalf. The online solution - Redbrick - was also great from the perspective of visibility and document sharing. We look forward to continuing to working with them on our sale.

I highly recommend Chloe Shippley as an extremely experienced family lawyer she is concise, polite, practical, non inflammatory
and very fair in her charges. I have a lot of experience of other top named companies falling very short of the mark - so a strong recommendation from me.
