The issue of bail arises in almost every serious criminal case. Following charge, the police will often refuse bail, leaving defendants facing continued custody unless a strong application is made.
This is where an experienced criminal defence barrister can make a critical difference. A weak or poorly prepared bail application is likely to be refused. In the Crown Court, there is often only one opportunity to apply for bail, making it essential to get the application right first time.
Martin McCarthy KC brings many years of experience as a specialist criminal defence barrister, carefully analysing the evidence, identifying weaknesses in the prosecution case, and presenting the strongest possible arguments in favour of bail. He prepares detailed and persuasive bail packages, including robust proposed conditions, to maximise the prospects of release.
Martin will fight tirelessly to secure bail wherever possible and to protect his clients’ liberty at the earliest opportunity.
