Short answer
Before asking a harassment barrister for help, prepare a dated incident log, messages, screenshots, witness details, police or employer correspondence, impact evidence and any urgent protection needed.
Incident Log
A clear incident log helps distinguish isolated incidents from a course of conduct and shows the practical impact.
- Dates, times and locations of each incident.
- Who was involved and who witnessed it.
- What was said or done.
- How the conduct affected work, home, health or safety.
- Any immediate steps taken after each incident.
Messages And Third-Party Evidence
Preserve original evidence where possible and avoid editing screenshots in a way that removes context.
- Texts, emails, social media messages and call logs.
- Screenshots showing usernames, dates and full threads.
- Photographs, CCTV references or location records.
- Police, employer, landlord or platform reports.
- Medical or counselling records if impact is relevant.
Remedy Requested
The quote request should explain whether the issue is advice, a warning letter, injunction, defence, negotiation or court representation.
- What conduct must stop.
- Whether urgent protection is needed.
- Any existing police bail, restraining order or civil injunction.
- Any court claim or application already issued.
- The safest contact route for follow-up.
