If you suffer from domestic abuse you are not alone! Every minute in the UK the Police receive a call for assistance because of domestic abuse. And that is just the tip of the iceberg, because the majority of incidents go unreported happening behind ‘closed’ doors.  Above all domestic abuse is cunning, often repetitive and destroys. lives and families.

JKC are specialists in helping you obtain the full protection of the law, as well as advising  and directing you to local support services. Support in these situations is key and we work in conjunction with the local and national charities providing support to help you and any children involved come to terms with your experiences.

We are committed to dealing quickly with emergency situations and have been able to bring such cases to Court immediately if required. If you need emergency legal advice, please call our 24 hour Emergency helpline on: 0203 9355 999.
