This checklist is general information only. It is not legal advice and does not create a lawyer–client relationship. If an ADVO or bail condition applies to you, do not take any step that could involve prohibited contact — obtain advice about your specific circumstances first.
SPEAK WITH A DEFENCE LAWYER
Confidential advice on your domestic violence matter
Every matter is different. If you are facing a domestic violence allegation, an ADVO, or a defended hearing, the earliest possible advice protects your position. Contact the firm for a confidential initial discussion. Contacting Core Defence Lawyers does not create a solicitor–client relationship, which arises only after the firm confirms engagement in writing.
