Why Choose Us As Your AVO & Domestic Violence Lawyers in Sydney
A lawyer can make all the difference in a case, especially in AVO and domestic violence matters. Depending on how they deal with your particular case, your outcome—win, lose, or reduced sentence—changes. When your lawyer can use the facts and evidence strategically, weaving a robust defence plan, your chance of securing a favourable outcome is high. On the contrary, if the professional lacks the necessary expertise, it can result in serious consequences for you. That is why you should never compromise while choosing your assault lawyers in Sydney.

AVO & Domestic Violence: Your Possible Actions
AVO and domestic violence, unlike many think, are not the same. While an AVO is a legal order issued by a court to protect individuals from violence, domestic violence refers to a pattern of abusive behaviour. In other words, an AVO can be sought in various other contexts, and domestic violence is only one of them. So, consider them as related concepts rather than as synonyms.
However, both concepts are equally serious and necessitate the expertise of a professional lawyer in Sydney. As a legal firm with substantial experience in the industry, we suggest three possible actions when someone is charged with domestic violence:
- Defend the charge: If you are not guilty, you can choose to fight the charges with the help of our domestic violence lawyers in Sydney.
- Plead guilty: If you are guilty of the charge and want to settle, we can also help you finalise the case, ensuring the best possible outcome.
- Representation to either withdraw or downgrade: In some particular cases, we may also be able to request the prosecution to withdraw or downgrade the charge.
Similarly, if it’s an AVO matter, we can assist you in either having it dismissed or altering the conditions of it. When these conditions are breached, it will give rise to a criminal charge. This is just another reason to seek the expertise of an assault lawyer in Sydney before making any move regarding the charge.
So, get in touch with us and get a good understanding of your case. We’re here to help in whichever way we can!
Frequently Asked Questions
Does AVO show on my criminal record?
An AVO is a court order rather than a criminal record or conviction. People sometimes believe that consenting to the AVO is harmless or risk-free because it is merely an order. However, if you violate an AVO, you face a criminal conviction and record.
What should I do if I am accused of domestic violence in Sydney?
First and foremost, refrain from making any statements to the police until and unless you have an experienced lawyer by your side. Your lawyer will guide you from there, ensuring a smooth and efficient legal process.
Can your Domestic Violence Lawyers in Sydney help with bail applications?
Yes, we most definitely can. We have specialised knowledge in a wide range of legal matters, from drunk driving to assault to bail applications. So, we are confident that we can help you with whatever you need to secure your freedom.
What are the legal consequences of breaching an AVO in Sydney?
An AVO, Apprehended Violence Order, is a civil matter in nature. However, breaching the conditions of an AVO can result in a criminal charge. Consequently, it leads to penalties and up to two years in jail.
Can an AVO be revoked?
Yes. An AVO can be revoked or modified. Ensuring both parties reconcile, we will make an application to the Local Court. However, if the AVO was initiated by the police, their view is considered important in the eyes of the court. For more information, reach out to our legal team as soon as possible.
