Family Violence

Apprehended Violence Orders (AVOs) are court orders designed to protect people from violence, threats, harassment, stalking, or intimidation in New South Wales.

Armstrong Legal provides experienced criminal defence lawyers who assist clients with AVO applications, defending AVO proceedings, and advising on breaches and conditions.

What is an AVO?

An AVO is a legal order made by the Local Court that places restrictions on a person (the defendant) to protect another person (the protected person). It is intended to prevent future harm or fear of harm.

Why AVOs Matter

AVOs are designed to provide legal protection and reduce risk of further harm. Conditions are tailored to the specific circumstances of each case and can be varied or extended by the court if needed.
