Sydney's Trusted Criminal & Traffic Lawyers

We proposed practical bail terms tailored to the known risks: verified residential address, daily police reporting, a curfew aligned to work hours, and non-association with any co-accused or witnesses. We highlighted weaknesses in the brief and explained why a non-custodial end result was likely even if there was a plea. The court granted conditional bail, which is supervised release with rules a person must follow while the case is active. The client returned to work and treatment immediately. We also offered a responsible surety to guarantee compliance, indicated readiness for electronic monitoring if required, and filed proof of program participation so Community Corrections could check progress. Clear written bail undertakings and a compliance calendar reduced the chance of accidental breaches.

A tenth disqualified-driving offence with three Community Corrections Order (CCO) breaches created a genuine custody risk. We moved quickly to list the matter for sentence, gathered strong subjective material about employment, rehabilitation steps, and family reliance, and proposed a community-based option with firm oversight. The court imposed an Intensive Correction Order (ICO), which is a custodial sentence served in the community under strict conditions such as reporting, program attendance, possible community service, curfew checks, and ongoing supervision. No full-time jail followed. Employment verification and treatment updates were required so rehabilitation stayed on track while protecting community safety. We also supplied a transport and scheduling plan to prevent further licence breaches.

Client was taken into custody for allegedly breaching both bail and an AVO only hours after bail had first been granted, while facing serious domestic violence allegations. We prepared and argued a bail application outlining his personal circumstances, available support, and practical measures to manage risk. Despite the very short time between the initial grant of bail and the alleged breach, the Court was satisfied that continued detention was not justified and granted bail on moderate conditions. Bail was granted notwithstanding an immediate prior breach.

Residence, reporting, curfew, non-contact, and treatment are common. Bail lawyers in Sydney tailor conditions to flight, interference, and safety issues, then file material demonstrating why these safeguards adequately manage identified risks in your matter.

Police may grant or refuse initially. A court can grant, vary, or refuse bail at the first listing and later mentions. Your Sydney bail lawyers prepare evidence and submissions so risk is credibly addressed.

NSW bail is usually conditions-based, not cash deposits. Surety may be required in some cases. Sydney bail lawyers explain proposed conditions, any acceptable surety, and compliance expectations so you understand obligations from day one.
