What happens after a domestic offence allegation?
An allegation of a domestic offence does not always mean formal charges will follow.
The police may investigate the complaint, speak to witnesses, collect evidence, and decide whether to report the case to the Procurator Fiscal. During this time, you may be asked to attend a police interview or be released while enquiries continue.
Early legal advice helps you understand what to expect and protects your position from the outset.
Every case develops differently. Some are resolved quickly, while others require further investigation before any decision is made. Lefevre Litigation advises clients throughout the process and provides representation in line with Scottish criminal law.
As local solicitors with decades of criminal defence experience, Lefevre Litigation knows how domestic allegations are investigated in Scotland. Advice is tailored to the facts of your case, giving you a clear understanding of the procedure and the options available. Speaking with an experienced domestic abuse lawyer early can help you avoid unnecessary mistakes during an investigation.

Frequently asked questions
- 01Yes. Depending on the circumstances and the information available to the police, an arrest may take place while enquiries are ongoing. An arrest does not determine the outcome of the case, and you remain entitled to legal representation throughout the investigation.
- 02In Scotland, the Procurator Fiscal reviews the evidence gathered by the police and decides whether criminal proceedings should begin. They may also determine how a case should be dealt with if prosecution is considered appropriate.
- 03That depends on the circumstances of your case. Bail conditions or other restrictions may prevent contact, even before a case reaches court.
- 04You have the right to seek legal advice before and during a police interview. Speaking with a solicitor first can help you understand the interview process.
- 05The information available at the start of an investigation may be limited. As your case progresses, your solicitor can review the evidence disclosed by the prosecution and advise you on how it may affect your defence.
- 06Yes. Witness statements are only one part of the evidence in a criminal case. Your solicitor will assess the reliability of the evidence and advise on how those issues may be addressed during the case.
"Came highly recommended, and justifiably so. Evidence was not made available to Gregor until the evening preceding the Intermediate Diet but my case was very favourably resolved within forty-five minutes of arriving at court. Everything swiftly and efficiently dealt with in a very pleasant and understanding manner."
