Bail Hearing Edmonton

After trials, Bail hearings are one of the most important hearings that an accused will face when charged with a criminal offence in Canada. Bail hearings, simply put, determine whether an accused will have to stay in custody or whether they will be permitted to continue living their lives in the community while they await their trial date. With trial dates in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta often being two to three years following an accused’s arrest, the outcome of a bail hearing can sometimes have a greater impact on an accused’s life than the trial itself. That is why it is so important to have an experienced Edmonton Bail Lawyer on your side from the start.

How to Get Bail Canada

During a bail hearing, the Court will consider not only the individual’s criminal record and record for compliance with Court orders, but their plan for where they will live on release. Purser Law has a number of community contacts that can assist our clients with getting into residential treatment programs or finding housing in the community. Purser Law also works closely with a local electronic monitoring company, if required, for very serious charges or individuals with a large number of charges.
