1. What types of criminal charges do you handle?
2. Can you help me with a bail application?
Once we have gathered persuasive materials to advance your application for bail, we will complete and submit the necessary court forms related to your charges, notify the other party of the application as is required by law, and appear before a Magistrate or Judge to make submissions on your behalf as to why your freedom is justified. The Magistrate or Judge will consider our application based on factors like the nature of the charges, your criminal history, your risk of noncompliance with bail and relevant community and family support. Sometimes we are also required to cross-examine police to show the Court the case against you is not as strong as police allege.
Eligibility for bail depends on the severity of the charges, your prior criminal history, and risk assessments related to public safety and flight risk. In some cases, certain conditions or restrictions may be imposed to give the Court comfort you will comply with your bail.
You can consult a legal professional for tailored assistance or refer to government resources, legal aid websites, or court guidance documents for step-by-step instructions on completing a bail application. We strongly urge you to engage an accredited criminal law specialist firm. Bail applications are not easy to navigate and require specialist skills and knowledge.
