Domestic Violence Solicitors

At Forbes we have extensive experience of representing clients in Injunction cases. Whether you are the subject of domestic violence and wish to apply for an Injunction or have been served with Injunction papers, our sympathetic and understanding Solicitors are here to help.

In the United Kingdom the Police receive one call about domestic violence every minute. For those who are the victims of domestic violence there is no need to suffer in silence. The Courts offer protection to those that need it and have the power to make Non-Molestation Orders (Injunctions) that can protect against violence or threats of violence. It is a Criminal offence to breach an Injunction. The Courts also have the power to make Occupation Orders which can force a person to leave a property and order them not to return or go within a certain distance of it.

Forbes Solicitors know how serious domestic violence is and can make emergency applications to the Court for Injunctions in appropriate cases. Public Funding (legal aid) is usually available and eligibility can be assessed at the initial free appointment.

If you have been affected by any of the above issues please contact one of our family law team for a confidential chat about the options available to you.

For a free consultation please call Forbes Solicitors on freephone 0800 037 4628 or contact any of our family law solicitors based at our offices in Accrington, Blackburn, Chorley or Preston.
