AVO Lawyers

Protecting Your Rights with Locker Law

Understanding AVOs and How We Can Help

An Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) can have a significant impact on your personal life, employment, and freedom. Whether you have been served with an AVO or need to apply for one for your protection, it is important to understand your legal rights and responsibilities. As experienced AVO lawyers, we provide expert legal representation to help clients navigate AVO proceedings and achieve the best possible outcome.

At Locker Law, I handle both Apprehended Domestic Violence Orders (ADVOs) and Apprehended Personal Violence Orders (APVOs). These orders are issued by the court to protect individuals who fear for their safety due to threats, harassment, or violence. However, false or unfair AVOs can also be issued, and in these cases, I work to have them challenged or withdrawn. No matter the circumstances, I ensure that my clients receive strong legal representation to protect their rights, reputation, and future.

Defending Against Unfair or False AVOs

If you have been served with an AVO, it is crucial to act quickly. An AVO is a serious legal matter, and even though it is not a criminal charge, breaching the conditions of an AVO can result in criminal penalties, fines, and even imprisonment. I represent clients who have been wrongfully served with an AVO, ensuring that they have the opportunity to present their side of the story in court.

There are many reasons why an AVO might be unfairly issued, including misunderstandings, false allegations, or personal disputes. If you believe an AVO has been wrongfully placed against you, we as AVO Lawyers will examine the evidence, challenge inconsistencies, and fight to have the order dismissed.

Applying for an AVO for Protection

If you are in a situation where you fear for your safety due to threats, harassment, or domestic violence, you have the legal right to apply for an AVO. I assist clients in preparing and filing strong AVO applications, ensuring that they receive the legal protection they need.

Applying for an AVO requires providing clear evidence of the threat or harm you are facing. I guide my clients through the court process, ensuring that their statements, documentation, and legal arguments are compelling and effective. If you are facing domestic violence, stalking, or repeated harassment, I will ensure that your case is presented strongly before the court.

For more details on AVO applications and domestic violence laws, I recommend visiting the NSW Law Society or Legal Aid NSW for additional legal resources.
