Bail Applications

If you have been arrested for a criminal or traffic offence and are detained in jail or a watch house, you may need to apply for bail with the help of a bail application lawyer. Bail is where a defendant is released from custody with a promise to appear in court at a later date. Other conditions may also apply to your bail application, for instance, promising to not interfere with witnesses and not committing another offence while on bail.

Those who are refused bail by the police may apply for bail through the Magistrates Court. Should this application be refused, the offender may apply for bail through the Supreme Court. To avoid bail refusal, we highly recommend hiring a specialist lawyer to attend court on your behalf and apply for you to be released into the community.
