While in police custody our client contacted and retained Principal Solicitor and Accredited Criminal Law Specialist Mr Zemarai Khatiz from Oxford Lawyers.
On behalf of our client, Mr Khatiz applied for Bail and appeared at Belmont Local Court where Mr Khatiz made strong submissions that mitigated the bail risks that concerned the Magistrate. As a result, our client was granted bail!
Our client was extremely happy with the result as it meant that he could care for his young child and be released into the community.
