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.

Emma Wheelhouse

Tagged solicitor Emma Wheelhouse

Emma took on my historic child abuse case and worked diligantly, with care and compassion, to achieve a substantial sum of money for me. But it was never about the money, it was about being heard and believed, and being able to get justice from the organisation who left me in danger! It was closure and healing at the same time. Emma (and team) worked on my case for quite a few years, no stone went unturned, and was very thorough and professional. She really listened to me, and understood where I was and what i wanted to achieve. And she did this and so much more! I cant thank Emma and Thompsons enough for their professionalism and for the outcome I received, and I highly recommend her. It is not a short process, and requires much patience, but well worth the wait! Thank you Emma :)
