Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I am arrested?

Remain calm, exercise your right to silence, and contact a lawyer immediately. Do not answer questions without legal representation present.

Can I apply for bail?

In most cases yes. We can make an urgent bail application on your behalf. The court considers the nature of the offence, your ties to the community, and any flight risk.

What courts do you appear in?

We appear in Parish Courts, the Supreme Court of Jamaica, and the Court of Appeal, across nearly every parish in the island.
