FAQ
What is a Bail Hearing?
A bail hearing is a hearing held in criminal court to determine whether or not to release a defendant on bail. The hearing is usually held after the defendant has been charged with a crime and has made an initial appearance in court.
Why is a bail hearing so important?
A bail hearing is an important part of the criminal justice process because it allows a defendant to be released from custody while awaiting trial. The purpose of a bail hearing is to determine whether or not the defendant is a flight risk and whether or not they pose a danger to the community.

What determines my chances of success at a criminal bail hearing?
The chances for success at a criminal bail hearing largely depend on the severity of the charges and the defendant’s criminal history. In general, prosecutors will argue that defendants charged with more serious offences should remain in custody until their trial, while defence attorneys will try to argue that their clients should be released on bail pending their trial.
What conditions will be imposed by the court?
The type of bail conditions will primarily depend on the nature and seriousness of the allegations, and whether the accused has a criminal record or has any other outstanding charges. For example, if the allegation involves alcohol consumption, the court may impose a condition that the accused not consume alcohol. In the end, an experienced bail hearing lawyer should ensure that the accused is not only released as soon as possible, but also on the least restrictive terms possible.
