If you’re facing an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO), you need experienced legal representation. At Jameson Law, we specialise in AVO cases, ensuring your rights are protected and guiding you through the complex legal process.
An AVO is a court order made to protect a person from violence or the threat of violence. It can be applied for in situations of domestic violence, harassment, or threats of harm. AVOs can have serious consequences, including restrictions on your movement, contact with certain individuals, and even potential criminal charges.
Apprehended Domestic Violence Order (ADVO): For individuals in domestic relationships, protecting against physical, emotional, or psychological harm.
Apprehended Personal Violence Order (APVO): For non-domestic relationships, protecting individuals from threats or violence.
How Jameson Law Can Help At Jameson Law, we understand the emotional and legal complexities of AVO matters. Our expert team is dedicated to achieving the best outcome for you, whether you are the applicant seeking protection or the defendant contesting the order.
The allegations are false or exaggerated.
The order is not necessary for protection.
Lack of evidence supporting the claim.
While an AVO is not a criminal conviction, breaching the conditions of an AVO can lead to criminal charges. It’s crucial to take action early to avoid long-term legal and personal consequences.
Contact us today to get the best legal representation and ensure your rights are protected.

FAQs
Remain calm and don’t breach the order. Avoid contacting the protected person. Speak to an AVO lawyer at Jameson Law immediately to understand your rights and next steps.
An AVO is a court order intended to protect someone who feels unsafe. It can restrict where you go, who you contact, and what you possess (e.g. firearms). It’s not a criminal offence—but breaching it is.
Yes. You have the right to challenge an AVO in court. Our lawyers will assess the evidence and advise whether to contest it, negotiate better conditions, or have it withdrawn.
Yes. Accepting an AVO without legal advice can lead to unintended consequences, especially in family law or employment. A lawyer ensures the terms are fair and your rights are protected.
An AVO can affect your ability to see your children, keep firearms, or travel. While it’s not a conviction, any breach can lead to criminal charges and a permanent record.
No. An AVO alone does not appear on your criminal record. However, if you breach the order or are charged with a related offence, that may result in a conviction.
Our lawyers regularly deal with AVOs based on false or strategic claims—especially in family disputes. We’ll help you challenge the order and protect your reputation.
Yes. We offer remote consultations via phone or video, making it easy to get the advice you need wherever you are.
