In addition to providing criminal defense services the Law Office of James R. Snell, Jr., LLC, also can help with:

Bond Reductions
Restoring a License After a DUI Arrest
Anyone charged with a crime is entitled to be represented by an attorney at bond court. During bond court the judge will determine whether or not someone is eligible for release, and if so what conditions will be required. In addition to requiring bond (an amount of money to be paid), other conditions can include no-contact with the alleged victim, electronic monitoring, or house arrest.
No contact bond restrictions can be problematic in domestic violence cases, especially for couples who live together or have children in common. Electronic monitoring is expensive, and the equipment is uncomfortable and can cause public humiliation or difficulty with employment. House arrest is restrictive, meaning someone would be unable to travel outside of their home other than for limited pre-determined locations and times. The court is to make it's determination considering whether or not the defendant is a flight risk and\or a risk to the community.
