Understanding bail hearings
A bail hearing addresses release or detention before the criminal case is resolved. It is not a trial on guilt. The court considers the applicable legal test and whether a proposed release arrangement addresses the relevant concerns.
Preparing your bail representation consultation
Use the documents for your own matter to guide the discussion. Depending on the circumstances, Karandeep can review:
- The allegations, criminal history where relevant, and the applicable bail test
- Practical housing and supervision arrangements
- The suitability of a proposed surety where one is needed
- Whether proposed conditions are workable and responsive to the concerns raised
What to do before you contact us
Call the office with the person’s name, location of detention if known, and any scheduled hearing information. Have potential housing and support information available. Avoid sharing detailed allegations through the enquiry form.
Coordinate your Milton matter and consultation dates
Before contacting the firm from Milton, list the dates on your documents beside any scheduling concern you want to raise. Distinguish an appearance from an appointment with a lawyer. If new paperwork arrives after you book, ask how to get it reviewed before making assumptions about a changed date.
Use the consultation to discuss the work proposed, how fees will be explained, and who will provide updates. Mention an existing Legal Aid certificate when enquiring so coverage and availability can be checked. Confirm your Brampton consultation arrangements separately from any attendance required in Milton.
Milton court and consultation appointments
The Ontario Court of Justice lists Milton Courthouse at 491 Steeles Avenue East. If your matter is scheduled there, check the court’s current attendance information. An appointment with Stratton Law at our Brampton office is separate from that court date.
Milton (Halton) courthouse information
Follow the instructions for your particular proceeding. A published video link does not mean you may attend remotely when an in-person appearance is required. If the location or attendance method is unclear, confirm it with your lawyer or the court.
