Top 10 of 896 law firms for Abuse, Domestic Violence Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Abuse work in England covers civil protections and related remedies to prevent or respond to domestic abuse, including coercive or controlling behaviour and threats within intimate or familial relationships. A solicitor in this area drafts and pursues protective orders, such as non-molestation orders, occupation orders and other related injunctions, liaises with police and local authorities, gathers evidence, and represents clients in family, civil, and housing proceedings where safeguarding or risk is at stake. The work often involves coordinating with social services and child arrangements when children are affected.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor drafts applications, collects evidence, obtains medical and police reports, negotiates interim arrangements, and represents the client at hearings for non-molestation and occupation orders, emergency protection orders, and related protective measures. They liaise with the police, local authorities, social services, and family courts, and may coordinate with housing authorities on safety-linked occupancy issues, child contact, and relocation needs. The case may involve risk assessments and safeguarding plans, with deadlines and discretionary relief governed by the Family Court and the Family Procedure Rules.

Sylviane Kokouendo

Tagged solicitor Sylviane Kokouendo

While my case is ongoing, from the very start, Slater Heelis and Sylviane have been exceptional. When no one else was willing to take on my employment law matter, Sylviane and the team at Slater Heelis stepped in with unwavering support, expertise, and inclusivity. Sylviane has been amazing throughout the entire process, and I feel fortune to have her support. She guided me with clarity, continuously accommodated my circumstances, and always provided grounded, actionable advice that helped me move forward with confidence. Thanks to her, I now feel in a strong, empowered position, something I did not feel at the beginning. As a domestic abuse survivor who is neurodivergent, disabled, and from the LGBTQIA+ community, the incredible quality of service and affirming experience has been invaluable. Working with Sylviane has been brilliant, the expertise, empathy, and dedication are a joy to work with. In today’s often hostile climate, knowing there’s an inclusive, reliable option like Slater Heelis and Sylviane for employment law gives me reassurance for the community, that we won’t be ignored, and that there are options for support so we can seek justice and continue to live our lives with pride. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sylviane and Slater Heelis to my peers or anyone seeking compassionate, high-quality legal support, especially those who need an ally in employment disputes. Whatever happens with my case, thank you for being the support I desperately needed.
