Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is one of the most sensitive areas of legal practice. Legislation, being the Domestic Violence Act, 1996, provides for Protection Orders, Safety Orders, Interim Barring Orders and Barring Orders to be granted to those who require them.  We have extensive experience in securing these Orders at both the District Court and Circuit Court as well as defending applications seeking them.

All family law proceedings are held ‘in camera’ which means that only those directly involved in the case are allowed be present in court. Furthermore, details of the case cannot be published.

We represent family law clients across the Munster region. Both Michelle O’Mahony and David O’Meara are members of the private practitioners panel as operated by the Legal Aid Board.
