Bail
If you make an unsuccessful bail application, the current bail laws make it extremely difficult to have a second bail application unless you go to the Supreme Court. Don’t blow your chance of bail – ask us how to help you. Call 9797 8688
Normally, but not always, the refusal of bail of an accused person occurs at the police station where they are charged. The next step is that the person is taken before the nearest Court where they can make a bail application.
Police do not always keep gentleman’s hours. Arrests frequently occur outside business hours or on weekends.
So you need a law firm that provide 24 hour service 7 days a week and can be contacted at any time, just call us on 9797 8688 to arrange representation at a bail application – even on weekends.
A person of limited financial means, or without strong community ties, without a job, friends or family might find that they have difficulty in getting bail.
We can advise you about the legislative criteria for bail to be granted; whether a surety might be required; about reporting to a police station; the sorts of conditions that might be imposed and generally the requirements the Court will need to be satisfied of before bail can be granted.
If you suspect that you might not be granted bail, or that your friend or relative has been arrested and might not get bail, you should make immediate contact with our office and speak with one of our criminal defence lawyers.
The loss of liberty for any person is devastating. Obtaining fast, accurate advice as well as forceful and confident representation is essential. Ideally, a family member or friend should make their way to court for a bail application as they will often have information that will help our team do the best job for the person in custody with a view to having them released in the quickest possible time.
