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.

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.
