Domestic abuse - funding options

The government is committed to supporting victims of domestic abuse and legal aid is still available to those who need the court’s protection and who are eligible. Our solicitors have many years of experience in successfully representing those who require protection. For advice call us on 01616 966 229.

What if legal aid is not available?

Our family solicitors are delighted to be able to offer a fee package for victims of domestic abuse, stalking and harassment. 

Initial consultation and warning letter - £300

This fee covers an initial meeting and specific advice following which a warning letter is sent to the other person setting out the position and the potential consequences should the behaviour continue. Experience shows that this initial step can sometimes bring the behaviour to an end.

If the behaviour continues the cost of future work can be agreed.

How to pay?

The action we recommend is usually urgent and requires immediate attention because of the nature of the relationship and the need for protection. The case will process quickly. We ask for payment of the fixed fee at the start of the case.

Payment cannot be easier.  We are able to accept cash, cheque or payment by card.  If payment is by card it can be taken in the office, over the telephone or via our website.
