Once you’ve been charged with a crime, you might be released on bond agreeing to appear for future court appearances and agree to follow the conditions set by the count. In more serious cases, you can be detained in jail until your bail is set at an arraignment hearing. We can argue for reasonable bail terms and represent you in discussions with the prosecutor regarding your case. Through diligent advocacy, we might be able to negotiate a dismissal or reduced charge with the prosecutor at the preliminary hearing, which will take place to determine if enough evidence exists for the state to proceed toward trial.
