Domestic Violence

Domestic violence extends far beyond physical harm. Emotional abuse, financial control and coercive behaviour are equally recognised and equally serious.

Taking that first step can feel overwhelming, and we understand the courage it takes. We're here to guide and support you through the process: applying for a domestic violence order, opposing an application, or representing you where a breach is alleged. Breaches carry serious consequences, including the real possibility of imprisonment.
