Domestic Violence
Byrne Legal Group lawyers are well versed and eminently experienced in representation of parties in domestic violence disputes and applications.
We represent Aggrieved persons and we represent Respondents.
Though acutely mindful as to how critical a Domestic Violence Family Protection Order can be for an Applicant/Aggrieved party, we also have had experience with dozens of ill-founded or non-meritorious applications where an “aggrieved” was simply trying to punish a Respondent former spouse or partner by bringing an Application for a Protection Order.
It is our strongest recommendation that if you are named as a Respondent in Domestic Violence Family Protection Order proceedings, you seek legal advice, from the outset, from lawyers who regularly practice in the domestic violence jurisdiction. This will ensure that you can obtain accurate and effective advice before you have inadvertently, or otherwise, compromised any of your rights or prospects of success in a Domestic Violence Family Protection Application.
With a team of solicitor advocates, we pride ourselves on sparing our clients, in many cases, the significant additional costs associated with retaining counsel (barristers) for court appearances in this jurisdiction.
We are also very proud of the number of matters where we are able to achieve a settlement, outside of court, with the other party and settle the whole process without the necessity for a hearing in Court.
