A focused legal practice

I practise in family violence intervention orders, family law and related criminal proceedings. My work includes representing people seeking protection and people responding to applications and allegations.

The practice is built around clear advice, careful preparation and an understanding that one family violence matter can move across several jurisdictions.

How I approach matters

People often seek advice at a stressful and uncertain point: before a court date, after being served, during separation or following police involvement. I aim to explain the process plainly, identify the immediate issues and help each client understand the available options.

Intervention orders

I advise and represent applicants and respondents in Family Violence Intervention Order proceedings, including interim applications, negotiated outcomes and contested matters.

Connected family-law issues

Parenting arrangements and family-law proceedings can be affected by intervention-order conditions and allegations of family violence. My practice considers those intersections rather than treating each matter in isolation.

Related criminal proceedings

Family violence circumstances can also involve police interviews, criminal charges or alleged intervention-order contraventions. These proceedings require careful attention to the distinct criminal process and any connected cases.
