Domestic Abuse

Make an Enquiry

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.

Why You Should Contact Us

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:

  • Expert Guidance: Our solicitors can offer you expert advice on the best course of action and help you understand your legal rights and the options available to you.

I thought selling a house was supposed to be stressful? People have always told me horror stories of solicitors being really difficult to get hold of during a sale, I can honestly say I had the opposite experience. Reanne was very attentive and proactive to getting my sale completed. She was always available on the phone or via email. She was also tenacious in dealing with unexpected issues that came along. My sale was completed in less than 2 months. BWS are worth every single penny. If you want to be chasing solicitors around and worrying all the time, go elsewhere. If you want an stress-free experience then use BWS. I certainly won’t use anyone else in the future. Thanks again to BWS for all the hard work.

I needed to update my will and am pleased to say that my experience with BWS Law was very efficient, helpful, clearly explained and dealt with thoroughly by Holly. Holly was a delightful person who showed interest in my past and present life and remembered our previous conversations after a gap of several weeks. Impressive! I would definitely use this company in the future should I need further help. Their reception staff were also helpful, pleasant and efficient.

It has been a real pleasure dealing with Claire Swinfield. Selling my house has been far less stressful than I had anticipated. This was because Claire helped me and was hard working, professional, polite and patient at all times. I would highly recommend dealing with Claire and the rest of the team at BWS. Kind Regards, Liz.

- I used BWS as my acting solicitors for my house sale and subsequent purchase of another house. - Erica was the acting solicitor and Reanne was the trainee solicitor handling my case. I am incredibly grateful for the hard work and effort Reanne has put into this case. It was not straightforward nor easy and yet she kept me fully apprised of the situation at all times, she was patient, professional, and knowledgeable. Reanne gave me confidence and reassurance that everything that could be done was being done to deal with the external challenges posed by this sale and purchase. Another point of appreciation to note is that when Reanne was out of the office, I was informed of who my case was delegated to, Nicole picked up the case and was equally as helpful as Reanne. I can only praise the service I received from Erica, Reanne, and Nicole, I would recommend BWS with confidence.
