Domestic Violence & AVO’s Carry Serious Consequences

The AVO will have conditions which may restrict contact, where you can live and who you can see. A breach is a criminal offence. We can help you challenge unfair restrictions or to defend false allegations.

Yes. Both the applicant and the defendant can apply to vary or revoke an AVO. We regularly assist with these applications and know how to get conditions changed.

Yes. Even if you accept the AVO, a lawyer can negotiate fairer terms and prevent you from agreeing to conditions that cause long-term problems. If you’re defending, a lawyer gives you the best chance of success.

Absolutely. Everything you tell us is protected by law and handled with complete discretion. Your privacy and reputation are our priority.

False or exaggerated claims are common. We know how to challenge weak evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and expose inconsistencies to protect your future.

Breaching an AVO is a criminal offence and can result in fines or jail time. If you’ve been charged with a breach, get legal advice immediately, the right representation can drastically reduce penalties.

We offer urgent same-day consultations and are available 24/7. Whether you’ve just been served with an AVO or have an upcoming court date, we can start preparing your defence immediately.
