Why Bail Hearings Matter
A bail hearing determines whether you’ll be released or kept in custody while your case moves through the courts. The judge or justice of the peace considers:
- The seriousness of the charges
- Whether you’re likely to return for court
- Your ties to the community (family, job, school, etc.)
- Any potential risks to the public
Without a strong legal advocate, you risk unnecessary detention, strict conditions, or delays in your release.
How We Help at Your Bail Hearing
When you choose us, we will:
- Review your charges and case details to build a strong bail plan
- Advise sureties (family or friends who pledge to supervise you) on their role
- Present arguments to show you’re not a flight risk or danger to the public
- Challenge strict or unfair conditions requested by the Crown
- Support you step-by-step, so you know exactly what to expect in court
We fight to ensure you get a fair chance at release — and the opportunity to prepare your case outside of custody.
Common Bail Conditions
Common bail conditions include:
- Reporting requirements
- Residency rules
- No-contact / communication restrictions
- Area and travel restrictions
- Non-consumption conditions
- Weapons prohibitions
- Digital and internet limits
- Employment / activity rules
- Mandatory programs or treatment
- Surety conditions (if ordered)
Note: This is not an exhaustive list — conditions are customized by the judge and can be strict, broad, or very specific depending on the case and release plan.
