EXPERT ARREST AND BAIL LAWYERS NSW

---

Being arrested in NSW can be confronting and confusing, particularly for your loved ones if you are arrested suddenly. Whether the arrest is for a minor offence or a serious criminal allegation, understanding your legal rights and getting experienced advice early can significantly improve your position. 

Our experienced defence team can:

• Advise you immediately after arrest or during police questioning
• Attend the police station (where necessary) to protect your rights
• Negotiate your release, including bail applications
• Challenge unlawful arrests or improper police conduct
• Prepare strong defences and represent you in court if charges follow

Early intervention can prevent charges from escalating and safeguard your rights from the start. 

If this is your first offence, see our Essential Read for First-time Offenders.

After your arrest, you may need to make a bail application. Bail laws in NSW are complex, and the outcome of your bail application can determine whether you remain in custody or return home while your charges are being finalised. 

From July 2025, there are important changes to Bail Division Proceedings that you will need to be aware of. You can find out more here.
