Domestic Violence

Everyone has the right to feel safe in their own home. The threat of violence, abuse or harassment from a family member means there often appears to be no escape for the victim and this can lead them to feel too scared to seek help.

Many people live in fear of violence from their partners or even extended family members and this has far-reaching consequences for both themselves as well as their children.  Our family lawyers can help to protect both you and your family in these situations.

Our family  lawyers can offer sensitive and practical advice on how your case should proceed to offer you the best protection available, always in the strictest of confidence. To speak one of our team, please complete the online enquiry form or email us at clientservices@giambronelaw.com.

Domestic violence can cover a wide variety of offences, including physical, emotional, financial or sexual abuse. Those suffering from domestic violence need help to take swift, positive action to prevent the abuse continuing.

Ending relationships that have been abusive or violent can be especially difficult, we can support you through all the necessary procedures. Where there are children involved, our specialist family team can also make any relevant applications to ensure that their wellbeing and safety is also protected.

Domestic violence abroad

Legal systems throughout Europe and the rest of the world are increasingly recognising the impact of domestic violence and the fact the offences take place in the victim’s home by a relative is an aggravating factor. Domestic violence offences, therefore, result in more stringent penalties and longer prison sentences. Other court orders can be used to protect the victim and family members including children. 

Clients living abroad can find the process even more daunting. From our offices in the UK, Spain, Italy and Tunisia, our multi-lingual lawyers are available to discuss your case in your language. These cases are highly sensitive and can be very complicated, so it is imperative for person experiencing domestic violence to seek legal advice as early as possible to ensure the best outcome.
