Expert domestic violence solicitors in Newcastle
Beecham Peacock’s family law solicitor team are trained to deal with all cases relating to domestic abuse, with a huge range of experience fighting for victims of domestic violence.
Our domestic abuse lawyers can advise on and help with:
• Applying for a domestic violence injunction.
• Applying for court orders, such as restraining orders, to ensure the safety of yourself and your children.
• Representing you every step of the way as we build your case, including courtroom representation.
Our domestic violence lawyers are well-equipped to explain your options, walk you through the process and fight your corner every step of the way.
Our skilled domestic abuse lawyers are also experienced in matters concerning children, including child contact and access, divorce and childcare proceedings, and are sensitive to the upsetting nature of this reality for children affected.
Domestic violence legal aid
Legal aid funding may be available for those who can’t afford legal fees, who also have evidence that either themselves or their children have suffered domestic abuse.
To qualify for legal aid, domestic abuse is considered to be any form of domestic violence or financial control, such as being prevented from accessing a bank account.
If you are unsure whether you qualify for domestic violence legal aid, please speak to our confidential domestic abuse lawyers by email, on the phone or in person at our Newcastle office at New England House, 10 Ridley Place.
We recommend you contact us over the phone or in person as your safest option, especially if your partner has access to your electronic devices.
Safely getting domestic violence help

In an emergency, always call 999 to report domestic abuse.

Domestic violence FAQs
Yes, domestic violence is not limited to physical abuse – domestic violence could concern financial abuse, controlling and manipulative behaviour, threatening behaviour and more. If you’re unsure whether you can make a domestic violence report or not, get in touch with a Beecham Peacock domestic violence lawyer.
If you are preparing to leave a domestic violence situation, make sure you: 1. Have a packed and hidden “go bag” with only the essentials, such as a passport, change of clothes, money, custody papers, phone and more. 2. If able, have evidence gathered to help you in your domestic abuse claim. Do not go out of your way to gather evidence if it would put you at further risk. 3. Decide on somewhere to go immediately once leaving, whether that’s an emergency shelter, a friend's or family member’s home, a hotel or other safe location. For help in making a Safety Plan, contact a domestic abuse hotline when it is safe to do so.
