Being denied bail when facing a charge can be hard and cause serious interference with your life. We understand the need to act urgently on bail applications, even on weekends.

The initial decision to refuse bail will be up to Police but then considered by a Court on the first mention date. The Court assesses whether there are any bail concerns that amount to unacceptable risks (i.e. risks to society of specific people) which can or cannot be addressed through appropriate bail conditions.

At first instance, this also depends on the seriousness of the charge you face and whether it is a show cause offence for which the presumption to grant bail is overturned and has to be established by you.

Applying for bail in these circumstances is difficult — being unprepared can result in failure. When an application fails in the Local Court, the only recourse is another application in the Supreme Court. This often comes with a long waiting time so it is important to get it right the first time around.

At Green & Associates Solicitors, we’re addicted to winning or achieving the best plea deal possible (depending on the case and your specific instructions). No matter the offence, our bail application lawyers will do everything in our power to see you released and back in society.

Green & Associates Solicitors Experience and Success 

Bail Granted in the Local Court for Show Cause – Wound Person with Intent to Cause GBH

In a complex legal matter, we were able to secure bail for our client who was facing serious charges of wounding a person with intent to cause grievous bodily harm (GBH). This is a show cause offence, meaning that the burden was on our legal team to demonstrate why our client should be granted bail.

Our client had a prior criminal record, which ordinarily would make obtaining bail considerably challenging. However, we were able to present compelling evidence of unique medical circumstances that justified the grant of bail. These circumstances were such that our client’s health and well-being would be severely compromised if they were to remain in custody pending trial.

With strong legal arguments and persuasive representations, we successfully convinced the court to grant bail to our client. This decision was crucial as it allowed our client to await trial outside of custody, ensuring their access to appropriate medical care while maintaining their presumption of innocence.

Bail Granted in the Local Court for Kidnapping / Damage Property by Explosion

In a highly complex and challenging legal situation, we were able to secure bail for our client who was facing serious charges of kidnapping and damaging property by explosion. These charges carried significant penalties and were compounded by our client’s considerable prior criminal record, which would typically make obtaining bail extremely difficult.

To bolster our case for bail, we tendered comprehensive research on the recovery and rehabilitation process for individuals who had suffered severe burns injuries. This research underlined the importance of our client’s access to specific medical treatments and rehabilitation services that were best suited to their unique circumstances. It was crucial in demonstrating to the court that our client’s well-being and recovery were of paramount concern. 

Our diligent legal work and the compelling evidence we presented allowed us to successfully secure bail for our client. This decision was pivotal in enabling our client to prepare for their trial while accessing the necessary medical care and support tailored to their needs.

In addition to the above, our defence lawyers have obtained bail for a client caught with large commercial quantity of drugs, other commercial quantities of drugs, weapons, firearms in the home, indicia of drug supply, tens of thousands of dollars in cash alleged to be proceeds of crime, and in breach of 2 x intensive correction orders at the time the home was raided;
