There are always two sides to every matter.

We understand that dealing with the Court process can often be quite complicated, intimidating, and confusing, which is why we work our hardest to protect your rights and interests in criminal matters.

Whether you are currently charged with an offence or have not yet been charged, we can provide you with comprehensive and practical advice as early as possible, including exploring every avenue available to you, to ensure that these rights are protected.

AVO + PROTECTION ORDERS

In NSW, laws surrounding apprehended violence orders (AVOs) and domestic violence offences are complex. Therefore, it is extremely important that a person who is facing or wishing to apply for an AVO obtains immediate legal advice from a law firm experienced in matters of this nature.

Although being served with an AVO or Protection Order is not the same as being charged with a criminal offence, breaching an AVO order may result in criminal offences being committed. That is why we will provide comprehensive advice surrounding AVOs to provide you with all of the relevant information for your personal AVO proceedings.

With over a decade of experience responding to AVOs and Protection Orders, we’ll work with you to ensure the impact of any restrictions in the AVO or Protection Order affects your daily life as little as possible

We assist with:

  • Defending and Applying for Apprehended Violence Orders

  • Contested Violence Orders

  • Defending and Applying for Protection Orders
