Hello, and welcome

My name is Catherine Haworth and I am a consultant family law solicitor specialising in domestic abuse and sexual assault cases. I have experience in dealing with family court injunctions as well as private and public law children matters.

I am also a qualified IDVA and have a Safelives Qualification in Domestic Abuse.

I became a solicitor as I wanted to help people. I saw there was a huge issue in family court and the understanding of domestic abuse. Victims were coming out of the family court process feeling even more traumatised. Many did not have access to legal aid or the funds to support legal representation, so were forced to represent themselves.

This is what started Haworth Family Law. My aim is to help provide as many people as possible with access to justice and support and assistance through family court. I can offer pro bono advice, assess eligibility for legal aid or signpost you to a service who may be able to help if I cannot.

If you’re feeling lost and looking for support, feel free to send an enquiry.

You are not alone

“Once again, thank you for today. And to repeat what I said earlier, you’re one of the good ones and I hope one day that all of the legal institution has the standards and integrity that you do.” - Ms B

“Catherine Haworth is an incredible solicitor and equally incredible person. She will fight with you for justice and goes above and beyond to do so. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to have been with me and to guide me through what was a very difficult and distressing process. I highly recommend Catherine to anyone who’s looking for a kind, compassionate, and experienced solicitor. Thank you Catherine.” - Hereford client

“I would just like to thank you for all of your time a patience you have given me a great deal of confidence in myself and helped me understand steps moving forward. You truly are amazing.” - Ms Q

“The training was clear and concise, using straightforward and uncomplicated language that made the content easy to understand. You explained the legal options available for victims of domestic abuse clearly, which will be very helpful for us to take forward into our family work.

Catherine also brought a personal touch to the session and used light humour appropriately, which provided some relief when discussing what is often a very upsetting topic. This helped keep the training engaging while still respecting the seriousness of the subject.

We would be interested in engaging in further training at a later stage.” Training Feedback
