Domestic Violence and AVOs — practical advice and strong representation
Domestic violence allegations and apprehended violence orders can have immediate consequences for contact, housing and parenting arrangements. We advise on police applications, private applications, interim orders, consent without admissions where appropriate, contested hearings and alleged breaches.
How we approach your matter
Where children or family proceedings are involved, we identify related issues and the need for separate family law advice or coordinated representation. An AVO is not itself a criminal conviction, but breaching an order can be a criminal offence.
What to bring to your first consultation
- Your Court Attendance Notice or relevant police paperwork, if available.
- Any hearing date, bail or AVO conditions, or suspension notice.
- A short timeline of relevant events and questions you want answered.
Clear advice on next steps
We will discuss the likely process, relevant deadlines, potential options and fees before accepting instructions. Outcomes depend on the individual facts and evidence; no result can be guaranteed.
