We have years of expertise and experience in advising clients who seek protection from abuse, and we will always take utmost take care to explore with our clients the best course of action to provide the quickest and most cost-effective remedy.
Whilst protection may be afforded by police and the social work department in many situations, there can be situations where the nature of the offending conduct or apprehended conduct is such that seeking a civil remedy may be given additional protection.
We appreciate suffering harassment and other forms of abuse can be distressing and we are here to assist you in exploring with you the nature and personality of the person harassing you, and to assess what measure will be most effective to protect you. We will ensure that you feel empowered in the decisions you make. We shall also discuss with you the costs involved and whether you are eligible for legal aid.
If you do not wish the Defender to know your whereabouts, we can ensure you are designed in any court papers as care of your solicitors. This would protect confidentiality and stop a situation whereby your address becomes known to the opponent purely because of the raising of a protective action.

If you do not fall into any of those categories, there is still protection you can seek in terms of the Protection from Abuse (Scotland) Act 2001, and the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, and various common law remedies.
