We have access to the best forensic psychologists, psychiatrists, and digital forensic experts who can provide crucial evidence in your defence.

Defending All Types of Domestic-Related Offences

Our expert solicitors defend clients accused of a wide range of domestic-related offences, including:

Controlling and Coercive Behaviour

This offence involves psychological, financial, or emotional control over a partner or family member. We have successfully defended clients where relationships have been misrepresented or where there is insufficient evidence to prove coercive control.

Sharing or Threatening to Share Intimate Photos

Also known as revenge porn, this offence involves the unauthorised sharing or threats to share private sexual images. We work with digital forensic experts to analyse messages, metadata, and online activity to challenge allegations.

Domestic Violence & Non-Fatal Strangulation

Allegations of domestic violence are taken extremely seriously, and the non-fatal strangulation offence carries up to five years’ imprisonment. We carefully examine medical evidence, witness statements, and forensic reports to build a strong defence.

Stalking & Harassment

Being accused of stalking or harassment can have devastating consequences, including restraining orders and imprisonment. We assess digital evidence, CCTV footage, and witness testimony to challenge these claims.

Breach of Non-Molestation or Restraining Orders

A breach of a non-molestation or restraining order is a serious offence that can lead to immediate custody. We have successfully defended individuals where breaches were accidental, unavoidable, or based on false accusations.
