Barrister & Solicitor Recommendations

We understand the daunting task of seeking legal representation as a victim and survivor of abuse, with the overwhelming uncertainty about where to seek assistance.

The recommendations are by survivors of domestic abuse who have personally experienced the listed solicitors and barristers, and have had an amazing experience with them.
