What to Expect When Consulting a
Domestic Violence Lawyer
Domestic violence is a silent crime. It’s possible that if you are a victim of domestic violence, the people who are closest to you don’t know that it’s happening.
It’s also important to know that domestic violence doesn’t only happen between husband and wife. It can happen between partners, adult children, and parents and children.
Whether it’s happening to you or someone you care about, your lawyer should approach your domestic violence case with compassion and empathy.
Here’s what you can expect from the domestic violence legal process in Sydney:

- The abuser will also attend court, and his or her lawyer will question your evidence. This can be a traumatic experience.
The courts can issue specialised orders, known as Apprehended Violence Orders (AVOs).
There are two kinds of AVOs:
