We understand that leaving an abusive relationship can be an incredibly daunting and frightening experience. We work closely with domestic abuse services to offer our expertise to those in need. 

Domestic abuse can affect anyone, regardless of their age, gender or background, and includes violence, coercive and controlling behaviour, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, financial abuse, stalking, harassment and online/digital abuse.

No matter your situation, we can provide a safe environment where you can voice your concerns without fear or judgement. We can advise you on how to reach a place of safety and what court orders can be sought to protect you. This could be, for example, a Non-Molestation Order to stop your ex-partner from contacting you or an Occupation Order to exclude your ex-partner from your home.

We can also support you through your separation by advising you how domestic abuse can impact Child Arrangements and Financial Arrangements. We work to ensure that victim-survivors have access to the necessary resources, support and justice.

I was referred to Shentons by a friend and have used Patrick Hunter in my dealings with my house, wills and POA. Patrick's service to me was unquestionable. He was professional, knowledgeable, conscientious and very kind. He kept me up to date every step of the way with my business. Nothing was to much trouble for him at all. I would not hesitate to use Patrick and the firm if I had any problems and I would definitely recommend him and the firm to my friends and family.

Chloe Jay helped my son when he got into bother. She was efficient, professional and knowledgable, but also very approachable. I felt able to ring and speak with her when needed, (obviously she asked my son if he was happy for me to speak on his bahalf). Thank you Chloe for making us feel supported in a difficult situation. I''d also like to mention Shae who was also very knowledgeable and approachable when I couldn't speak to Chloe. I would recommend Chloe to anyone for criminal legal representation.

Michelle and team at Shentons were brilliant at handling our property purchase. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or recommend them. The quality of work and service was excellent, Michelle is on the ball and responsive to emails, she pushed the other side and made sure we were comfortable and informed at every step. Despite being thrown some curve balls Michelle remained calm, and dealt with all of them in an efficient but thorough manner. From quote to completion everything her and her team did was excellent, and in line with the estimate given which for first time buyers allowed us to budget without fear of massive final bill. It’s nice to know what you are getting into. And finally to top it off they are all lovely approachable people that I wouldn’t hesitate to trust with such a big purchase or sale going forward. If you want the job done properly I wouldn’t use any other firm.
