Our aim is to give you the advice which will allow you to make the best possible decisions about your family and the future.
Our approach is to seek agreement wherever that is possible, using court proceedings only as a last resort and never for their own sake. Where it is necessary to litigate, we will represent you with care and vigour.
We will give you sensible and sensitive advice; where we feel that you would be best served by an expert from another discipline, as well as or instead of a lawyer, we can help you identify that person.
We are committed, discreet and professional. |

Personal Protection Orders |
|
|
If you have been a victim of domestic abuse within your own home or within your relationship then you can seek orders or injunctions from the court for your personal protection. Personal protection measures are available to married people, civil partners and cohabitants. In some situations you can obtain orders from the court for your protection if you are abused by someone with whom you share your home.
If you have any questions, please email Philippa McKnight.
