Pretoria criminal defence
When someone is arrested, the first hours matter. AHS Law assists with urgent bail applications, police bail, court bail, trial representation, appeals, and reviews across Pretoria and Gauteng.
Immediate steps
Stay calm, confirm where the person is being held, and avoid sending incomplete facts across multiple people. The attorney needs accurate information quickly: the police station, charge if known, court date, and contact details for the family or employer.
AHS Law helps clients understand bail options, rights during detention, and the practical process that follows an arrest. For a plain-language rights overview, read the arrest rights guide.

Common questions
Find out which police station or court is involved, the arrested person's full name, and the charge if it is known. Do not guess or argue about the facts over the phone. Ask for legal assistance quickly so bail options, rights, and time limits can be handled properly.
AHS Law lists urgent bail contact numbers for emergency bail applications. Availability depends on the court, police station, and facts of the matter, but early contact gives the attorney more time to prepare the required information.
Useful information includes the person's ID number, address, employment details, medical needs, family contact details, previous convictions if any, the police station or court, and any charge or case number already provided.
You have the right to remain silent and the right to legal representation. It is usually safer to get legal advice before making a statement, especially where the facts are disputed or the charge is serious.
