Strategic Representation in AVO & DV Matters
Defending Domestic Violence Charges & AVO Proceedings
Domestic violence charges and AVO proceedings can arise from the same alleged incident. A criminal defence lawyer should carefully examine the police facts, witness statements, body-worn video, photographs, electronic communications and other available evidence before decisions are made about how the matter should proceed.
NFK Lawyers carefully examines the allegations, the surrounding circumstances and the evidence relied upon by police. We identify inconsistencies, evidentiary issues and available defences, and develop a strategy addressing both the criminal charges and any related AVO proceedings.
“Careful preparation matters when criminal charges and protective orders intersect.”
