Frequently Asked Questions
Do you act for respondents, aggrieved persons or both in domestic violence matters?
Yes. We’re domestic assault lawyers who can act for respondents and aggrieved persons in such cases. We tailor our advice to your position, the allegations and the orders sought. You receive practical representation and advice that reflects the urgency of the matter from the outset.
What should I do if served with a Police Protection Notice or temporary DVO?
Read the document carefully and follow every condition immediately. Do not contact the protected person if the notice prohibits it, as breaching the order can lead to criminal charges. Get legal advice from a domestic assault defence lawyer as soon as possible so you understand how the order may affect your rights.
What are the possible conditions on a DVO and how might they affect living arrangements and contact?
A DVO may restrict contact, communication, attendance at certain places and behaviour towards the protected person. It can also affect who stays in the home and arrangements involving children or family contact. The practical impact depends on the conditions imposed, so prompt legal advice is important before court.
Can you help if I’m also facing related criminal charges (assault, strangulation, property damage, etc.)?
Yes. Domestic violence allegations often involve related criminal charges such as assault, strangulation, property damage or breaches. Bazzi Law’s professional domestic assault lawyers can advise on both the protection order and the criminal case together, so you understand the overlap and respond strategically at each stage of proceedings.
