Domestic Allegations Defence
When Personal Relationships Become Criminal Matters
Domestic Allegations Defence Specialists
Protecting Your Future, Reputation and Relationships
Domestic allegations don’t just threaten your freedom – they can destroy families, end careers, and result in immediate removal from your home and children before any trial begins.
We specialise in defending sensitive domestic-related cases:
- Domestic assault allegations
- Controlling or coercive behaviour
- Harassment
- Stalking
The Reality of Domestic Allegations
The moment an allegation is made, your life changes completely:
- Immediate arrest often at your workplace or home
- Bail conditions preventing contact with family
- Removal from family home regardless of ownership
- Restricted access to children pending investigation
- Professional reputation damage from colleagues learning of the arrest
For professionals and public figures, the stakes are even higher – media attention, professional body investigations, and career destruction often begin before any charges are filed.
Why Domestic Cases Require Immediate Specialist Intervention
These cases are unlike any other criminal matter:
Emotional Complexity: Relationships, family dynamics, and intimate details become court evidence
Digital Evidence Focus: Text messages, social media interactions, financial transactions, location tracking
Multi-Agency Coordination: Police, social services, family courts, and professional bodies working together
Reputation Management: Media interest, community gossip, professional standing protection
The Fraser Masood Strategy
We understand these cases are about more than criminal law:
- Immediate family protection through strategic legal intervention
- Professional licence safeguarding with regulatory body coordination
- Digital evidence challenge of communications and financial patterns
- Alternative explanation presentation for misinterpreted behaviour
- Comprehensive reputation management throughout proceedings
Common Domestic Allegation Scenarios
Controlling or Coercive Behaviour Cases:
Often based on financial arrangements, communication patterns, or lifestyle choices that appear controlling but have innocent explanations.
Assault Allegations:
Frequently involving minor physical contact, self-defence situations, or completely fabricated claims during relationship breakdown.
Harassment and Stalking Claims:
Usually arising from normal contact attempts during separation, social media interactions, or presence in shared locations.
Early Intervention Success
Engaging Fraser Masood immediately often results in:
- Allegations dropped before formal charges
- Police protection orders successfully challenged
- Social services intervention minimised or avoided

The Personal Cost of Getting This Wrong
Without specialist representation:
- Children may be removed from your care
- Family home access prohibited indefinitely
- Career destruction through professional investigation
- Community ostracism based on unproven allegations
- Financial ruin from legal costs and restricted access to assets
With Fraser Masood fighting for you:
- Strategic intervention protects families
- Professional coordination safeguards career and reputation
- Evidence challenges expose false or exaggerated claims
- Alternative narratives provide context for misunderstood behaviour

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I return home if accused of domestic violence?
Not initially. Police protection orders often prohibit home access immediately. Fraser Masood can challenge these orders and negotiate supervised or conditional return arrangements.
Will social services get involved with my children?
Possibly. Domestic allegations often trigger social services assessment. We coordinate with family specialists to protect parental rights and minimise children’s services intervention.
Can my employer find out about domestic allegations?
Yes, especially for professionals with disclosure requirements. We work to prevent or manage professional consequences through strategic regulatory body engagement.
What evidence is used in controlling behaviour cases?
Financial records, text messages, social media activity, witness statements from family/friends. We challenge interpretation and present alternative explanations for normal relationship behaviour.
Can domestic allegations affect divorce proceedings?
Absolutely. These cases often run parallel to family court proceedings. We coordinate criminal and family law strategies to protect both cases.
What's the difference between harassment and stalking charges?
Harassment requires a course of conduct causing alarm or distress. Stalking involves behaviour causing fear of violence or serious alarm. Both carry different penalties and defences.
Will I get bail if charged with domestic violence?
Bail is possible but often comes with strict conditions including no contact with complainant and exclusion from home. We fight for reasonable conditions that allow family contact where safe.
How long do domestic allegation cases take?
Typically 6-12 months, but complexity varies. Early intervention can result in charges being dropped before court proceedings begin.
Can I contact my partner/family during investigation?
Usually not directly due to bail conditions. We can arrange supervised contact or communication through third parties where appropriate and safe.
What should I do if falsely accused of domestic violence?
Contact Fraser Masood immediately, preserve evidence supporting your innocence, avoid direct contact with the complainant, and don’t discuss the case on social media or with mutual friends.
