Domestic Abuse

CORONAVIRUS

We remain fully open to help with family law issues during the current global outbreak of the Coronavirus, COVID-19. All of our family law solicitors are working as normal using remote access technology and we can arrange appointments by telephone and video call, as an alternative to face to face meetings. We can also arrange appointments outside of normal working hours, as we understand the lockdown can make it even harder than usual to consult solicitors on sensitive family law matters

In line with current government advice, our offices in Petersfield and Midhurst remain open and operational although we are operating with a reduced staff level on the ground and only able to admit to our offices clients who have pre-booked an appointment. All of our lawyers have access to secure cloud based technologies for emails and telephone calls and video conferencing, which enable them to work remotely and conduct meetings accordingly.

You can continue to contact us, as normal, by phone, email and video conferencing and where essential pre-book a face to face meeting in the office. We remain fully committed to delivering a high level of client service, tailored to your individual needs.

Official statistics suggest that a quarter of all women, and one in seven men, will experience some form of domestic abuse in their lives. The real numbers are probably even higher – and figures, of course, are only one small part of the story. Although it’s appallingly common, domestic abuse – which can be verbal, emotional and financial, not just physical – remains very difficult to talk about, and can seem impossible to escape.

If you are being subjected to domestic abuse, in whatever form, you don’t have to suffer in silence – or go through it alone. Our Family Law team has enormous experience of this difficult problem and includes specialists in dealing with domestic abuse.

You can talk to a member of our Family Law team in complete confidence: please contact us at any time.
