Get Clear Advice and Strong Representation From Our Liverpool AVO Lawyers
If you’ve been served with an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO), or have been accused of breaching an existing order, our Liverpool AVO lawyers can help you manage the legal process and protect your position. We carefully assess the evidence, provide practical advice and ensure your case is properly presented.
AVOs can affect your employment, parenting arrangements, family law proceedings and travel plans. While AVO applications are civil matters in New South Wales, alleged breaches are criminal offences that can carry significant penalties. We represent clients at Liverpool Local Court and surrounding South Western Sydney courts. Get in touch with Nicholas Hardy-Clements today for a free, confidential discussion about your matter.
Facing an AVO or AVO Breach in South Western Sydney? Our Liverpool AVO Lawyers Can Help
Being served with an AVO can be overwhelming, creating uncertainty about your future. If family law proceedings or other legal proceedings are also involved, these orders can become even more complex.
It’s important to remember that an AVO can have significant consequences, which is why it is important to obtain legal advice as early as possible. You should always comply with the conditions of the order, even if you disagree with them, as alleged breaches can quickly become criminal charges. Nicholas Hardy-Clements has extensive experience assisting clients through both AVO and criminal law matters, and will provide clear, practical advice, every step of the way.

Obtaining legal advice early can be critical to the outcome of your case.
