Domestic Abuse

Domestic abuse happens when a partner, spouse or other person close to you causes you physical, mental, emotional or financial damage.

As of March 2015, a new law now also classifies repeated controlling or coercive behaviour as abuse. In these cases, you may need the support of a specialist solicitor in order to help you deal with the situation. Our family team can help you obtain court orders to prohibit further abuse.

Whilst Legal Aid may be available in limited circumstances, unfortunately we are unable to offer this service. However due to the quality of service we provide, and the experience we have in the field, we are often instructed in these matters as our clients want somebody to represent them who they can trust to act in their best interests.

We can often advise you as to what options you have available to you, and what action to take, during our initial fixed price consultation of £75.00 plus VAT

What our clients say

"No improvement to service needed. Alison was the epitome of professional calm in going over options and maintaining patience, and indeed advised against a path that certainly would have achieved higher fees for her, but the correct call in retrospect. So I feel her advice was professional and unbiased. She was attentive in keeping me appraised of news, and maintained a polite and stress free approach which kept me calm and optimistic a final result in my favour would occur. Would recommend her, and the firm, to others." Anon
“Dealt with Alison primarily for Power of Attorney, very helpful and polite.” Anon
“I cannot think of any way that we could have had better service!!!” Anon

"Over the past 8 years Teresa Braddon and her team have created my Will and have done numerous conveyancing transactions for myself and my family. I have found Teresa and her Team most helpful and efficient. Everything was carried out with care and attention. All the staff including Teresa, a senior Partner, were friendly and helpful. I would recommend Braddon and Snow and their services." Tony Stavrou
"I would highly recommend Braddon & Snow to anybody, very professional and efficient service. They treat you like a person rather than just a number. I am mentally disabled and sometimes I do not get respect or understanding shown to me. Braddon & Snow couldn’t of been more kind and they always took the time to explain all the legal terminology to me so I understood. I would especially like to thank Emily Morten and Jane Blackett as they really went above and beyond what they had to. Value for money and excellent staff. Use this company." Mr M Brooke
"Thank you all so very much for all your help and kindest attention over the years. In every conceivable way you go out of your way, above and beyond any expectations. You are incredible, and all your team are unbelievably pleasant. I hope these few lines go a little way to thank you so very much." Mr M Ledger
"May I say that Laya has been fantastic. She has been an absolute delight to speak with, always giving clear and positive instructions and pacifying when necessary. Please be assured we will definitely recommend your company and hopefully be in a position to use your services again and again." L Page
"We found dealing with Braddon & Snow very pleasant and relaxed. We had a few problems dealing with the seller's leaseholder solicitors which needed a lot of patience and Teresa and Laya were very helpful at all times and very easy to communicate with." R & J Keith
