Domestic Abuse 

Relationships can be difficult, and when a relationship reaches its breaking point, it can sometimes lead to accusations that may not always be accurate. Offences tied to domestic abuse not only have profound personal repercussions but can also impact one's professional life, especially when children are involved, potentially affecting custody arrangements and employment opportunities.

In cases involving allegations of domestic abuse, the gathering of evidence is critical. Statements made to the police from the accuser, along with statements from their acquaintances, family, or friends who may have witnessed incidents or noticed concerning behaviour, can significantly influence the outcome of the case. Additionally, mobile phone records or even video evidence may provide valuable insights into communication patterns, potential threats, or instances of coercion.

Facing accusations related to domestic abuse is a serious matter, and securing competent legal representation is crucial to protect your rights and navigate the legal process effectively.

Domestic abuse is at the top of the policing agenda.  The phrase “Domestic Abuse” refers to a range of offences under different statutes that arise from a family member or an intimate partner/associated person making an allegation of abuse. Domestic abuse does not always result in an assault, it also covers offences of controlling or coercive behaviour in a relationship, harassment, stalking and non-fatal strangulation.

This aspect of law is intricate and has wide implications. Evidence from the person making the accusation, their family/friends, and records from mobile phones can all play a role in these cases.
