Arrest in NSW - Know your Rights & Get Immediate Legal Support

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.

BAIL APPLICATIONS - NSW

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.


Our experienced criminal defence lawyers specialise in urgent bail applications and provide clear, strategic advice to give you the best chance of securing release. 


Visit our Guide to Preparing for Bail (NSW).


Our defence lawyers are skilled in preparing and presenting strong bail applications, including:

  • Urgent bail applications in the Local Court; 
  • Supreme Court bail applications for serious or strictly indictable offences; 
  • Bail variations; 
  • Preparing  evidence such as character references, employment documents and      residential guarantees; 
  • Proposing bail conditions that address any identified risks; 
  • Working with you to minimise the conditions and ensure they are manageable.
