[Solved] SOLICITOR / BARRISTER RECOMMENDATION HARASSMENT

Has any action been taken against you, or are you trying to get a case against her for false allegations? I'm not quite clear which.

Hi there 🙂

I seem to remember that you were looking for legal representation a couple of months ago...is this the same case? I thought that you had managed to find yourself a good barrister, sorry if I'm mistaken...

As you are asking for a criminal lawyer and will be requiring Legal Aid you may find that the top solicitors do not accept Legal Aid clients....that's not to say that you wont get well represented, just that your choice will be limited.

Hi
Action against me: I have been accused / charged of harassment and have been summoned to court on 12th July 2013. I assure you I am innocent, and was striving to communicate with my children.

indeed it is me Nannyjane.
The wife has now gone for harassment claim, and CPS feel they wish to prosecute. I was communicating with my wife, then she stopped calls to the children without telling me she was stopping. I called, she hung up numerous times. Now she is citing it as harassment. I also dropped a school book off through her door where she lives for my little boy. I did not knock etc just popped it through the letterbox.
She called the police in fear. It is all done to ramp up her harassment claim. Her references now go back to Dec 26th 2012, even though we were communicating until may with out any court intervention. She has threatened to break me and this is what she is managing to do.
I have suffered domestic violence and harassment from my wife. I need to prove that though or at least have the police not turn me away when I reference it!
I was told by the police I could not submit a counter claim while I was being investigated. I had called the police and also told her solicitor I was feeling harassed by the wife who was doing all manner of things to stress me out and put pressure on me.

However reading around on CPS site and police sites it turns out they misled me and I did have the right to submit a counter allegation. Really need a good legal to represent me. If I had to pay then so be it but I do not have income now, and may parents are supporting me financially. It is a sad place to be at present,

Thank you

Hi there,
My son had a very good solicitor a few years ago but he doesn't come cheap! His name is Jack McGarva and he works out of Hill Dickinson in Chester. They are not Legal Aid solicitors though. Have a google.there was also a guy in Walker Smith and Way, one of their top solicitors but I can't remember his name...sorry I'll see if I can find out.

Thank you so much. I will look into it
Regards
Steve

Hill Dickinson? Was that part of Hill Dickinson Davis Campbell?

Essjaycarp, I'm in exactly the same position as you so will be following this thread closely. The only difference being that I'm threatened with 'harassment' for wanting to undermine the deceit and lies strewn by her and her partner - I do have evidence to counter her allegations - although the police also told me I cannot counter-claim whilst her case is ongoing too. Unfortunately the only true sufferers in this dilemma are our daughters so will be keen to see if anyone can suggest which direction to take.

Hi essjaycarp,

How did you get on at court today?

It WAS ADJOURNED. I need time to go over her false allegations. My Legal had it adjourned as we only got her paperwork this morning. NB all who are following this YOU CAN PUT IN A COUNTER ALLEGATION: the police misled me.....by accident they claim!!! and apologised! Record everything and re port it to the police. Do not let them shun you away. My wife knows how to play the victim in the eyes of the system,,,,,but I assure you I AM INNOCENT...so will fight the false allegation.

Regards
Steve

How come you only got the paper work this morning?

Is this a ploy to adjurn and prolong?

Regards,

Dave

No the applicants side did not provide her paper work until this morning. I do not understand how it can be, but these are the legal games I am up against!
My solicitor put in for it to be postponed as we could not go in and be questioned about it raw. We had to know what was coming out way, I think it was a strategy to get me on the back foot, but it was adjourned. If I get found guilty on the 26th it will be very sad as I am innocent, the jist is she claims she got too many Emails off me and says it is harassment! SHe communicated with me endlessly Dec 26th 2012 to May 2013 text, voice mails, emails etc..... but what do I do?

Games....it seems they do this to wrong foot or drag things out and grind you down. It’s just wrong IMHO.

Regards being accused of harassment via mail. I know where you are coming from as I was accused of this because I sent some mails over a weekend about our children. Nothing abusive so I hope they use the mails as evidence.

What I do now is that I do not communicate unless absolutely necessary or she mails me and in each instance I start my mails like this;

1. I only communicate as it is absolutely necessary.
2. I only communicate in response to your mail.

Doesn’t exchange view etc just facts that have to be communicated. This is hard and I have slipped on the odd occasion.

Keep and transcribe all mails, texts and if you have time, resource or money get the VM transcribed to a document as well.

Good luck.

Regards,

Dave

Police told me I have not been subjected to domestic abuse! I met the Government guidelines on Domestic Abuse/ Violence so do not know which definition the police work to!
Harassment and stalking claim:
They now tell me I have not got a third party independent witness for my harassment / stalking claim against my wife so they will not help me!
I looked at police ops manual and no where does it say you need an independent witness to report harassment! I cannot believer the position I am in.
What a MESS

Dont know if it is reasonable or proper but Im thinking a letter to MP and/or Chief of Police asking for investigation or written reasons for not investigating?

Dave

I’d agree with DaveR….if it was her claiming you being abusive and stalking her I bet she’d not need 3rd part witnesses before you got spoken to!
Ask the police to log it and explain why they are not prepared to investigate it….ask if its because you’re male and therefore being discriminated against for being a father!
Certainly a letter off to the police complaints and the MP should get them to sit up and take you more seriously….
Men too can be subjected to domestic violence/abuse and stalkers….it’s just not many speak up or get believed by the police.

Years ago I was told by a male police officer to “man up” and “did I really want to make matters worse between me and my ex partner by logging an incident” basically it was a domestic and they didn’t want to get involved!

Agreed document this ! write to police station head - cc the MP and the independent police complaints commission. Request a written reply as to why they do not feel this should be investigated (let alone logged). This could be perceived as discrimination, if you were a woman no doubt it would be logged and followed up!

Thank you

this is is grinding me down and I am at a loss. I am having such a hard time and being consumed by it.
In court next week and need to get police to listen to me. I assure you I have been subjected to monitoring/ stalking and harassment by the wife and they will not listen to me. I will take the action advised and take this further. I am prepared to go to the papers too to highlight what I am subjected to for being a male.
