Domestic Abuse Solicitors in Buckinghamshire
Supportive and Experienced Domestic Abuse Solicitors in Buckinghamshire – Protecting You When It Matters Most
No one should have to live in fear. If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse at home – whether physical, emotional, financial, or controlling in nature – it’s vital to seek legal support as early as possible. Our experienced domestic abuse solicitors in Buckinghamshire are here to help you feel safe, heard, and protected.
We understand that taking the first step is never easy. Many of our clients come to us at a time when they feel isolated, confused, or worried about what comes next. Our role is to provide clear, practical legal advice and to act quickly when urgent protection is needed. We’ve helped individuals across Bucks to secure non-molestation orders, occupation orders, and legal pathways to leave abusive relationships safely and with confidence.
You are not alone – and you don’t have to go through this without support.
Legal Protection from Domestic Abuse
Domestic abuse can take many forms. It may involve physical violence, threats, intimidation, coercive control, financial restriction, harassment, or emotional abuse. It can occur between spouses, partners, ex-partners, or even family members. Whatever the situation, there are legal steps that can be taken to protect you and any children involved.
As domestic violence solicitors, we act fast and discreetly, always placing your safety as the priority. Whether you need an urgent court order or are planning longer-term legal action, we provide clear, supportive advice throughout the process.
We regularly help clients secure:
- Non-molestation orders – Preventing the abuser from contacting or harassing you
- Occupation orders – Regulating who can live in or return to a shared home
- Prohibited steps orders – To protect children from being removed from school or their home
- Protective measures as part of divorce or child arrangements proceedings
We also work closely with local support services, shelters, and safeguarding professionals where needed to ensure a complete protection plan is in place.
Discreet and Urgent Legal Support
If you’re in immediate danger, your first action should always be to call 999. Once you’re safe, our solicitors can take swift legal steps to ensure continued protection. In many cases, we can apply to the court for emergency protective orders without the abuser being notified beforehand (known as ex parte applications).
We’ve acted for individuals across Buckinghamshire – from Aylesbury to High Wycombe, Chesham to Milton Keynes – providing compassionate and confidential legal advice. Whether you’re still living with your abuser or have already left, we’ll advise you on your options and take action quickly.
Our experience with family law and domestic abuse cases means we can help you with related legal matters too, such as divorce, child arrangements, or property disputes.
Working with Domestic Abuse Solicitors in Buckinghamshire

Here’s what you can expect when working with our Buckinghamshire domestic abuse solicitors:
- A confidential, non-judgemental space to talk about your situation
- Clear advice on your legal options and protection available
- Urgent court applications where needed, including same-day filings
- Ongoing support as part of wider family law matters
- Help accessing additional community or housing support if required
If you’re already working with a support worker, GP, social services, or police liaison, we can work alongside them to ensure your safety plan includes legal protections.

FAQs – Domestic Abuse Legal Advice
What is a non-molestation order?
A non-molestation order is a court order that protects you from someone who has abused or harassed you. It can stop them from contacting you directly or indirectly and can be enforced by police. Breaching the order is a criminal offence.
Can I apply for legal protection without my partner knowing?
Yes, in some cases you can apply to the court for an order without notifying the other person in advance. This is known as an ex parte or without notice application, and we regularly help clients do this in urgent situations.
How quickly can I get a court order?
In urgent cases, we can often prepare and submit an application on the same day. The court may issue a temporary order immediately, with a follow-up hearing arranged shortly afterwards.
Do you help men and women?
Yes, we support individuals of all genders. Domestic abuse can affect anyone, and our service is open to all who need legal protection and advice.
