What types of cases do Kells’ criminal lawyers handle?

How does Kells support clients with mental health conditions?

If mental health has played a part in your circumstances, we carefully consider this when preparing your case. Where appropriate, we seek alternatives to conventional sentencing such as treatment pathways, diversion programs, or outcomes that avoid a conviction. Our team often works with mental health professionals to secure reports and clinical assessments that support a fair and balanced resolution, while recognising both your legal rights and personal wellbeing.
Can Kells help with bail applications?

Yes. We regularly prepare and present bail applications for clients across NSW, including in Kiama. Our team compiles detailed applications addressing issues such as community risk, criminal history, and personal commitments. Information about your family life, employment, and health may also be included to strengthen your position. If bail is initially refused, we can review the decision and advise on whether a fresh application or appeal is possible.
