Understanding the Complexities of Service Life
Life in the military brings its own structure, culture, and expectations but it can also make it harder to ask for help. Many members of the Armed Forces community who have experienced sexual violence struggle with feelings of isolation, fear of damaging their careers, or worry about loyalty to their unit. We understand these complexities.
At Ison Harrison Solicitors, our team has experience supporting military personnel and veterans. We know that speaking out can feel daunting, especially when concerns about rank, reputation, and confidentiality weigh heavily.
Whether you are still serving or have transitioned to civilian life, your voice deserves to be heard.
You Do Not Need to Face This Alone
We recognise that, in the Armed Forces, asking for help can feel even harder. Feelings of shame, fear of retaliation, and the tight-knit nature of military life can make survivors feel trapped.
At Ison Harrison Solicitors, we create a safe, understanding space for you to tell your story if and when you are ready. You are in control of the process.
Importantly, you do not need to have reported the abuse to the police to seek our help. Whether the incident was recent or happened many years ago, you are entitled to support and legal advice.
Tailored Support and Advocacy for Military Survivors
We offer one-to-one, confidential support tailored to your needs. Our services include:
- Independent legal advice about your rights and options
- Support through the Service Justice System or the Criminal Justice System if you choose to make a formal complaint
- Help accessing specialist counselling and advocacy services
- Assistance with military compensation claims where appropriate
- Guidance on your employment rights if you are still serving
At every stage, we work with empathy, discretion, and a clear understanding of the pressures you may face.
