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

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Domestic Abuse Protection Orders (DAPOs) in England are civil orders designed to protect adults and children from ongoing domestic abuse. A solicitor helps obtain or respond to a DAPO via the family or civil courts, typically the Crown Court or Magistrates’ Court, often alongside police involvement. They gather or review evidence, draft applications or responses, serve documents, and negotiate terms that restrict contact, establish safe housing, or require attendance at support services. The order can influence emergency protection and ongoing safety planning for the client and any affected family members.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

A DAPO involves specific risks and potential breaches with serious consequences. A solicitor ensures requests are supported by evidence, prepares statements, coordinates with the police, and represents the client in court while safeguarding rights such as attendance and cross-examination. They also assist with future variations or discharge, and advise on enforcement and protective measures.

Samia Khanum

Tagged solicitor Samia Khanum

I came to Samia as a litigant in person, several months into defending a non-molestation application I believed had no merit. I'd prepared my own statements and evidence and had already been through a few hearings alone, but the matter had been listed for a contested final hearing and I knew I needed proper representation. From the first conversation, Samia was clear, candid, and genuinely engaged with the detail of my case. She reviewed everything I'd filed and gave me a straight assessment including being upfront about costs and about where pursuing something further wouldn't be proportionate. That honesty and Samia's attention to detail is exactly what you want from a solicitor. Throughout, she kept me fully informed, copied me into correspondence, and as she put it herself, acted as a buffer at a point when I badly needed one. After months of carrying the matter myself, having someone competent take the weight made a real difference. The outcome was the best I could have hoped for: the application dismissed, no order made against me, and the whole thing resolved without a contested hearing and at a fraction of the cost I'd been bracing for. I'd recommend Samia without hesitation.
