The road to a successful criminal defence often begins with bail. If you are detained, the road gets a lot tougher. You probably only get one chance at a full bail hearing. As a result, the stakes at the bail stage are extremely high, especially with more serious charges that could see you waiting in custody for several months (if not years).
It is critical to understand that disclosure is usually very limited at the bail stage. Your lawyer must not only understand the law, but also have the experience to make strategic decisions based on how your charges are likely to proceed within the system. The ability of your lawyer to effectively communicate with the Crown, any proposed sureties, and The Court is essential.
