Domestic abuse can take many different forms including emotional, physical, sexual, mental or financial. A survivor of domestic abuse should never be put at fault, and we believe at O’Hara Solicitors that any survivor of domestic abuse should get the support they need to feel safe from the impact it has whilst allowing them to move on with their lives.

Domestic abuse is a crime, and not just physical violence. Coercive and controlling behaviour was criminalised in December 2015, and the police can take protective actions and prosecute abusers.

We can advise you of the legal options available to you including injunction proceedings that can be issued swiftly, depending on the circumstances of your case, to provide you with the protection of the court.

If you are in immediate danger, please call 999 and ask for the police. You can call the National Domestic Violence Helpline on 0808 2000 247.

Some survivors of domestic violence may qualify for legal aid. We do not have a contract with the Legal Aid Agency and are therefore unable to offer legal aid to our clients.
