We chose Proudmans after being highly recommended Dr Proudman and her team, and after meeting with them, it became the obvious and easy choice. As a family, we want the correct justice and to help make a difference not only now but to the future.
Jazmine and her family, rape survivor in Hampshire case
“Imagine someone having the courage to escape a relationship, to keep themself and their children safe, and putting their trust in our legal system to continue those protections, only to find that they are locked in a further battle with a court that prioritises the right of an abuser to see their child over the safety of the child itself.
Despite everything I have been through, I know that I am lucky. Many would give anything to have received the judgment I did. I am grateful to have had a fantastic legal team: Charlotte Proudman, my barrister. Dr Proudman is an incredible advocate on behalf of survivors of domestic abuse and founded the organisation Right to Equality, which is also campaigning for a change in this pro-contact culture.”
Kate Kniveton, former MP
As a politician facing attacks as a victim of domestic abuse, I needed highly skilled legal support, that was immediate and deeply sensitive to my circumstances, including as a survivor of abuse in public life. Proudmans stepped in at exceptionally short notice, including out of hours, and provided exactly that, and for this I am deeply grateful, as I am for the quality of representation, and the trauma-informed advice provided.
Dr Charlotte Proudman understand both the legal and personal complexities of navigating public scrutiny whilst experiencing abuse, and acted with speed, clarity and compassion throughout. Her track record of representing client’s facing unique challenges speaks for itself.
The firm's ability to respond decisively under pressure, protect my position, and manage a highly sensitive situation with discretion and professionalism was invaluable.
I would not hesitate to recommend Proudmans to anyone facing complex, high-profile disputes and requiring urgent legal representation and advice.
Apsana Begum, MP
I am incredibly grateful that I had Dr Proudman and Ms Chhina by my side. Amidst difficult circumstances and a challenging legal system they not only advocated my position but created an environment where I felt safe. Their unwavering support, specialist legal expertise and professionalism is unmatched and is accompanied by a deeply human understanding that is rare to find. I would strongly recommend Proudmans to anyone who has experienced domestic abuse and is navigating the family court system.
Linda
Proudmans demonstrated an exceptional understanding of neurodiverse communication styles, which made an enormous difference throughout an incredibly difficult process. What particularly stood out was their willingness to address issues that other firms might dismiss as minor or inconsequential when viewed in isolation, but which, in the wider context, formed part of a clear pattern of control and coercive behaviour. Their insight into how this kind of abuse can continue through court proceedings and impact children, if not properly recognised and challenged, was both reassuring and invaluable. I felt genuinely understood, supported, and confidently represented throughout.
Jo

Charlotte Proudman and Manveet Chhina have both been exceptional and take great pride and honour in helping women and children secure safe outcomes for their future. I thank you both from the bottom of my heart.
