Family violence

If you’re facing family violence charges or are fearful of another person, speak to an experienced family violence lawyer.

Family violence is harmful behaviour that is used to control, threaten, force or dominate a family member through fear. It includes emotional and financial abuse, as well as physical violence and sexual abuse.

Both family violence intervention orders and personal safety intervention orders are designed to protect members of the community. If the respondent breaks the conditions of an intervention order the police can charge them with a criminal offence.

We are experienced in both defending and being the applicant in intervention order proceedings.
