How to get Easy Bail in Singapore

Cases in which bail can be granted

There are 2 types of offences: Bailable Offences and Non-Bailable Offences.

Bail can only be granted only if you have committed a bailable offence. In other words, if an offence is bailable, the accused must be granted bail if he is able to and prepared to give bail.

If an offence is non-bailable, this does not mean that bail cannot be offered. What it means is that the police or the court has the discretion to decide whether to grant bail.

Factors that can affect the bail procedure for a accuse:
  • The nature and gravity of the offence charged\
  • Whether there are reasonable grounds for believing the accused is guilty of the offence
  • The accused’s character, means and standing
  • Whether the grant of bail is essential to ensure that the accused has an adequate opportunity to prepare his defence; and
  • The length of the period of detention of the accused and the probability of any further period of delay.

The amount to be paid against the bail and the tenure of the bail is being decided by the lawmakers. It is always recommended by specialist to always hire experienced and good lawyer  who can make to get the bail for you a easy procedure to go on.

Change Your Lawyer On Right Time





Changing your lawyer on the right time is the most important thing you must keep in mind while your case is in court There are several factors which may lead to changing your lawyer like when your calls remain unanswered till 48 hours or if answered you happen to talk to different lawyers then it is quite hard to believe that your lawyer is an appropriate choice. I don't think you would like it when he will display his inability to solve various aspects or meet important deadlines.


In either of the above situations, you should immediately eliminate your relationship with the current lawyer provided you have already another one ready to sort out your legal worries. I would suggest you consider few parameters to ensure switching the lawyer isn't another cause of worry. Although opting  a new lawyer mid-case  can be costly so go for it if it's a worth.


Two parameters things to be considered during the change:

  • Do you agree with retainer of your new lawyer and what will be the cost.
  • How much time and effort will be consumed by the new lawyer to boost the speed of your case.


Common warnings for changing your lawyer:

  • Communication: Communication is not done in a proper way

  • Understanding: There is lack of understanding between you and him.

  • Speed of your case: He is delaying thing and not speeding up your case.

Switch your Criminal Lawyer before it is too Late


Switching your lawyer is an unusual experience that might arise due to several factors like
bad or no communication. When your calls remain unanswered till 48 hours or if answered
you happen to talk to different lawyers then it is quite hard to believe that your lawyer is an
appropriate choice. I don't think you would like it when he will display his inability to solve
various aspects or meet important deadlines.


In either of the above situations, you should immediately eliminate your relationship with the
current lawyer provided you have already another one ready to sort out your legal worries. I
would suggest you consider few parameters to ensure switching the lawyer isn't another cause
of worry. Although opting a new lawyer mid-case can be costly so go for it if it's a worth.


Two parameters things to be considered during the change:
  • Do you agree with retainer of your new lawyer and  what will be the cost.
  • How much time &effort will be consumed by new lawyer to boost the speed of your case.

Common warning signs that will tell you to change your criminal lawyer before it is
too late


Communication:
Communication between you and lawyer is the key. Lawyer should not simply make you feel
confident about case with his efforts but should also be able to acknowledge when anything is
beyond his legal glossary.


Understanding:
Doesn't matter how busy your attorney is because it is his primary responsibility to explain
every aspect of your case with the progress report after all he is being paid for the same. This
will help you know your case is in which phase like litigation, pleading stage, discovery stage
or the final trial.


Speed of your case:
It is necessary to know how fast is your case moving and is it in the right direction or not. If
you often find that hearings or depositions are being rescheduled for later dates and your
lawyer is unable to explain this to you  then it is a red flag on his credibility.
