ABOUT

If you’re dealing with a domestic violence order, have been served with a Police Protection Notice, or are simply wanting to know how to make your voice heard, you might find the legal system daunting and unforgiving. Misunderstandings can lead to severe consequences, and it’s easy to feel like you’re navigating a minefield. We are here to guide you through this maze with clear, actionable legal advice tailored to your unique situation.


During our legal advice sessions, Sarah-Jane and Jag MacDonald apply their extensive expertise to ensure you fully understand your rights and the potential outcomes of your legal choices. Our goal is to prevent common and costly mistakes that can escalate into bigger legal issues, helping you to make informed decisions that protect your interests and those of your family.


The Domestic Violence Legal Advice Initiative isn't just about providing advice - it's about equipping you with knowledge and strategies to handle your legal affairs with confidence. We cover everything from the basics of complying with legal orders to the nuances of negotiating appropriate variations.


Everyone deserves fair access to justice, and we are here to ensure you receive just that. Book in for one of our advice sessions and we will explain what you can do within the system to achieve the best outcome.
