As specialist criminal defence lawyers, our team at Eventum Legal understand the complexities of domestic abuse cases within the criminal justice system, the emotional impact this can have on the accused and the severe consequences resulting from domestic abuse allegations.
Since the introduction of the Domestic Abuse Act 2021, there has been a significant rise in police investigations related to domestic abuse allegations.
The Act has introduced new offences and extended the time limits for reporting such cases, increasing complaints. This includes allegations involving emotional abuse, financial abuse, coercive control, and other forms of domestic-related offences.

There is no specific offence of domestic abuse or domestic violence, and the term is used to encompass a range of violent offences that are alleged to have taken place between two people who are personally connected. They include but are not limited to:
The allegations in cases of a domestic nature often span over some time, and the parties are likely to have been together for many years by the time the abuse is reported to the police; however, this is not a necessity, and domestic abuse can occur as a result of a single incident, even where the parties do not live together. Our team of domestic abuse defence lawyers have worked with men and women accused of domestic abuse for several years; let us help clear your name.
