Services

We offer a range of specialized services tailored to meet your individual needs. Our approach is focused on understanding and responding to what you require, providing effective and practical solutions.

Protection Orders

We support clients seeking Protection Orders to ensure immediate safety from harmful, threatening or violent behaviour. These orders can restrict contact, set boundaries and provide urgent legal protection when you feel at risk. Our service focuses on understanding your situation, gathering the right evidence and presenting your case clearly so the court can act quickly to safeguard your wellbeing.

We can help with:

  • Preparing clear and accurate applications

  • Drafting strong witness statements

  • Gathering essential supporting evidence

  • Filing your application promptly with the court

  • Requesting urgent hearings for immediate protection

 

 

Non-Molestation Orders

We help you apply for a Non-Molestation Order to protect you from threats, harassment, intimidation or violence by a partner, ex-partner or family member. Our support is focused on your safety and wellbeing, ensuring the court understands the full picture of what you have experienced.

We support with:

  • Drafting the full application

  • Preparing your detailed supporting statement

  • Gathering evidence of abuse

  • Preparing for your court hearing

This order can stop a partner, ex-partner, or family member from contacting, threatening, or approaching you.

Occupation Orders

We help you apply for an Occupation Order when you need legal protection over who can live in the family home. This order can provide essential safety and stability by setting clear rules about occupation of the property, especially in situations involving domestic violence, conflict or controlling behaviour. Our support ensures the court understands your circumstances and that your housing needs, safety and wellbeing are fully considered.

What we do:

  • Drafting the application
