Throughout Angela has been the consummate professional. She maintained a calm, yet strong demeanour remained informative and completely open in her communication and took complete ownership of the situation. We felt confident we finally had an advocate to steer us out of the nightmare we were in, and she did so with great respect and sincerity. I cannot speak more highly of Angela. She has literally rescued our family from what looked very much like a hopeless future.

Words can’t describe how grateful I am to Trudie Cameron being my solicitor and to Andrew Tiedt presenting my case in the court. They both have been very supportive and amazingly professional and effective. I’ve got an absolutely fantastic outcome I couldn’t even dream about.
- Client
Soon after meeting Andrew I knew he was the solicitor I wanted to handle my matter. He immediately sprang into action which brought me stability and hope during a tumultuous time in my life. Andrew was never afraid to give me straight answers to my tough questions which is a true mark of integrity. He is clearly at ease in the court environment and I believe his calm and measured demeanour went a long way to helping me secure the best result from my day in court. I would certainly recommend you approach Andrew if you need assistance.

"Andrew Tiedt was very professional and considerate to personal circumstances and gave sound advice that resulted in the best outcome possible. Highly recommended."

Bail
Bail is the conditional release of a person who has been charged with criminal offences before those offences have been finalised. When a person is released on bail, they must sign an undertaking to come to court when required to do so and not to commit any offences while on bail. There may also be other conditions attached to a person’s bail depending on the circumstances.
Bail can be granted by the police or by a court. If a person is refused bail by police, they must be brought to court as soon as possible and given the opportunity to apply for bail. If the person is an adult, this will occur at the nearest Magistrates Court. If the person is a juvenile, it will occur at the nearest Children’s Court. Bail can also be granted by the District Court and the Supreme Court.
If a person breaches the conditions of their bail, they may be arrested and remanded until the charges against them have been finalised. They may also be rebailed on the same or different conditions.
Bail has been and remains a contentious issue for legislators, courts and the community. The Victorian Bail Act has been subject to many revisions since it was first enacted in 1977.
