Bail

When a person’s liberty is at stake, insist on counsel who is prepared to assert the presumption of innocence and the right to reasonable bail. We have assisted clients and their families & friends to develop successful plans that result in release from custody in both criminal and extradition cases. It is our view that everyone is entitled to a reasonable bail no matter the charge or the challenge.
