When dealing with an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO), it’s crucial to have experienced legal support on your side. Bernhaut Solicitors specialises in handling AVO cases in Sydney, providing clients with expert advice, compassionate guidance and strong representation in court.

What Is an AVO?

An Apprehended Violence Order is a legal order designed to protect a person from violence, harassment, intimidation or stalking. AVOs can be issued in two primary forms:

  • Apprehended Domestic Violence Orders (ADVOs): For individuals in domestic or family relationships.
  • Apprehended Personal Violence Orders (APVOs): For individuals not in domestic relationships (e.g., neighbours or coworkers).

Whether you are applying for an AVO or defending against one, our experienced team can help navigate the legal complexities involved.

Consequences of an AVO

While an AVO is not a criminal conviction, breaching the conditions of an AVO can result in criminal charges and serious penalties, including fines, imprisonment and a criminal record. That’s why it is essential to seek expert legal advice as soon as possible.
