Boris Bytensky is the defence representative on a Province-wide task force examining changes to the current bail system while. The knowledge and experience of these senior partners is shared throughout the firm and leaves our lawyers supremely well prepared to argue difficult bail hearings even on short notice in emergency situations.
A poorly run bail hearing could have disastrous consequences for the average person resulting in weeks or even months spent in jail without ever having been convicted of a criminal offence.
Even if you are fortunate enough to be released from custody, we can ensure that the conditions the court sets are lawful and reasonable so that your bail does not unduly interfere with your right to earn a living, travel, or be with your family.
In addition to our extensive experience conducting bail hearings in the Ontario Court of Justice, the lawyers of Bytensky Shikhman are also often called upon to argue Bail Reviews in the Superior Court.
If you feel you have been unjustly denied bail, we urge you to contact our office to consider the possibility of appealing that decision.
It is absolutely essential that you make contact with your lawyer at the earliest opportunity as Bail Reviews to the Superior Court require considerable document preparation including acquiring transcripts of the original charges. Until all these materials are prepared and filed, you will have to remain in custody. Our office will work speedily to gather the necessary documentation and prepare a powerful argument to be heard by the Court at the earliest opportunity.
