Domestic Violence Lawyer Brisbane

The majority of people in Queensland and New South Wales do not realise that domestic violence is not merely threatening or physical violence in a relationship. If a domestic relationship exists then swearing or even name calling is sufficient enough for an act of domestic violence. In these cases and others, a Protection Order may need to be brought forward urgently with strict temporary conditions until the matter is settled.

Cullen Lawyers have helped numerous private applicants and respondents facing Protection Order Applications. We have the ability and experience to resolve these highly emotional matters quickly and effectively for you.

In New South Wales, the legislation enables the Local Courts to make Apprehended Violence Orders (AVO’s) for people in need. AVO’s can be divided into two categories with orders imposed in the below circumstances:

Orders that involve allegations of violence where a domestic relationship with the respondent exists; and
Personal Violence Orders (PVO’s) in matters of allegations of violence against a person for all other aggrieved persons subject to violence.

If you are an Applicant or Respondent to a matter involving an application for a Protection order or AVO, Cullen Lawyers can provide prompt legal advice and represent you from the start to completion of your case.

TRIBUTE TO JUSTIN CULLEN

In July 2015, my life was turned upside down. My little brother and best mate Justin died in a tragic surf accident. He was only 24.

Burying my brother is the hardest thing my family and I have ever had to do. We still miss him each and everyday.

At Cullen Lawyers we understand and appreciate that times can be tough. There is a sliver lining to the dark and tough times. We are here to help you through.

This is in remembrance of you my brother.
