Apprehended Violence Orders ( AVOs ) are legal orders to protect people from violence or harassment. AVOs can be made by police, courts or government agencies such as the Department of Youth and Community Services. Whether you are an applicant who wants to ensure your order is made or a respondent who is looking to have a vexatious order withdrawn or thrown out the court, our lawyers are experts in AVO proceedings and can help you get the results you seek.

Australian drug law is complex. Some drug laws are federal, while others vary depending on the state or territory where your crime was committed. If you are caught in possession, using, making, importing, or trafficking any illegal drugs, you may face penalties such as costly fines, jail time, periodic detention, or community service orders. The Andrew Byrnes Law Group team can provide clear advice about charges against drug offences and provide top-notch legal representation to clients when needed.

Fraud offences carry heavy penalties that can have devastating impacts on your future if convicted. In the most serious of fraud offences, defendants may be sentenced to a punishment as severe as many years in prison. Fraud charges include bribery, forgery, false accounting, insurance fraud, and money laundering, among many others. If you are being investigated for fraud or have been charged with fraud, we highly advise that you seek legal representation immediately to give yourself a better chance of securing the best outcome possible in your case.

In Australia assault charges can be brought against an individual in cases of simple and serious assault, unlawful wounding, grievious bodily harm, and sexual assault, which includes rape, touching without consent, and improper sexual advancements. Many people wrongly assume that assault is a minor offence. However, if you have been charged with assault in Australia, it is important to seek legal advice from our criminal lawyers as the penalties for an assault conviction are quite harsh, with penalties ranging from fines to actual imprisonment.

Property offences refer to crimes that involve property. Examples of property-related offences include theft, property damage, receiving stolen property and arson. Property offences are considered to be less serious than violent crimes or public order offences. However, property offences can still carry substantial penalties if found guilty. People with criminal records may face employment problems. This means it is important to work with a criminal defence lawyer if you or someone you care about has been accused or charged with a property-related crime.
