A bail hearing is one of the most critical moments in any criminal case. The outcome can determine whether a person waits for trial at home with family — or remains in custody, facing emotional, financial, and legal hardship.
At Provenance Law, we represent individuals in bail hearings across Ontario with urgency, clarity, and strong advocacy. We prepare sureties, develop release plans, challenge detention arguments, and present your case in the strongest possible way to the court.
When your freedom is at stake, you need a lawyer who acts quickly and strategically.
