Leading law firms in Sydney

King & York Lawyers is a leading criminal law firm in Sydney and has successfully applied for bail for clients on numerous occasions in many complex and high profile cases.

If you have charged with a criminal offence and are kept in custody by the police, you have the right to make a bail application before a Magistrate as soon as practicable. This may be the same day of the arrest, or it may be the following day depending on the circumstances.

Applying for bail is extremely important because criminal matters can often take several months or even years to finalise. Our expert criminal lawyers have a strong track record of securing bail for our clients. We appear in bail applications in all courts throughout NSW – from the Local Courts including Parramatta Bails Court on the weekend, through to the Supreme Court of NSW and the NSW Court of Criminal Appeal.

  I have used Kamal and his King & York firm during my very complex interstate relocation parenting case, divorce and financial settlement for over 3 years. The support I received has been exceptional. The King & York team are extremely professional and go above and beyond in your matter. Their legal knowledge is unrivalled which is why I continue to use King & York even after relocating to another state.

  Kamal / King and York was a godsend for me during a tricky divorce. He navigated tricky negotiations with confidence and his knowledge of the law was thorough. I felt confident and informed throughout the entire process and achieved a great result both with financials and child custody. I would highly recommend K&Y for anyone seeking a skillful and capable divorce lawyer.

  Kamal was sincerely interested in my case and its emotional impact on me and my family
He was very professional with a forthright approach; firm and honest with me about my options which I needed but I was always confident that he was zealous and determined to defend my case without an ounce of apprehension.
I defiantly would NOT like to be his opponent!
We had a great outcome due to his extensive experience particularly regarding avo cases
and being able to cut to the chase and get things done so we could get on with life and move past a lot of petty nonsense.
I also thank Nathan his partner/ secretary too, Nathan was so lovely and understanding
My recommendation is listen to what Kamal  says and you will get the best  outcome
Thanks again
Cherina and Rob Gray
