Bail Applications and Bail Variation
At Holborn Adams, we recognise that bail conditions can have a huge impact on clients and can be distressing to those who have never been subjected to bail conditions before.
Looking to apply for changes to your bail conditions?
Preparing for a bail application or variation requires full and forensic preparation when making an application to the court.
Bail, in our opinion, has to be conducted right the first time, so every salient item of evidence to support your application must be secured and vetted by a specialist solicitor from our firm before submission to the court and prosecution.
To date, we have successfully varied pre-existing bail conditions on behalf of our clients during complex criminal investigations that have restricted clients from travelling overseas. As a result of our intervention and full case preparation, prosecution authorities have conceded to our detailed applications avoiding expensive court proceedings and costs.
Here are just some of the areas our criminal defence solicitors can assist with:
- Seized Passports
- Travel Restrictions
- Police Station Representations
- Magistrates and Crown Court Representations

Every case is different. After your initial consultation, we’ll determine which services are best for your defence, and calculate a fixed fee quote for you.

- Expertise - Our solicitors have diverse experience defending every type of criminal offence. We are, however, specialists in pre-charge defence, fraud, sexual offences, and regulatory investigations, so if your case falls under these categories, we are confident we can secure the best outcome for you.
- Location - We have offices all over the world. We can travel to you and offer remote conferencing services to make things easiest for you.
- Reviews - Our client testimonials speak for themselves. You’ll see hundreds of glowing reviews on our website, as well as on independent review sites like Review Solicitors, Google Reviews, and TrustPilot.
