Hiring a lawyer for a bail hearing in Ontario
Getting arrested and charged with a criminal offense is an overwhelming experience. Having a knowledgeable bail hearing lawyer by your side can make this situation less stressful.
At Robichaud’s criminal law firm, we understand the anxiety that comes with being charged with a crime and having to attend a bail hearing. Mishandling the hearing can lead to serious consequences, including spending weeks or months in jail even if you haven’t been found guilty of anything.
Having an experienced lawyer can ensure that your right to reasonable bail is not ignored. Regardless of the charge, the law considers you innocent until proven guilty, and you have a right to reasonable bail. However, for serious charges, the court may require stricter bail conditions. A bail hearing lawyer can help by developing a release plan that the court will consider and advocating for your right to reasonable bail.
At Robichaud’s criminal law firm, our criminal defense lawyers are here to assist you with your bail hearing and provide you with the support you need during this difficult time.
