Representation for allegations involving repeated contact, threatening conduct, intimidation, stalking, or fear for personal safety.
Bail
A good bail plan is not the longest list of conditions—it is the least restrictive workable plan
The proposed plan should respond directly to the concerns in the case. A stable address may address attendance; targeted no-contact terms may address a complainant; treatment or supervision may respond to a specific safety concern.
Overly complicated conditions can create new problems. Curfews, geographic restrictions, abstinence clauses, reporting, device restrictions, and contact terms should be clear, necessary, and realistically capable of being followed.
A release plan should solve identified risks without creating unnecessary restrictions.

Common Questions About Bail Hearings
The court decides whether the accused should be released or detained while the case proceeds and, if released, what conditions should apply.
No. A surety is one possible form of release but is not automatically required in every case.
It generally requires consideration of less restrictive forms of release before moving to more restrictive arrangements unless greater restrictions are justified.
Yes. Curfews, residence terms, geographic restrictions, and no-contact conditions can affect daily life, which is why proposed conditions should be carefully considered.
