Felony Defense Lawyer Lawrenceville

Question: Can a person who has been convicted of a felony and out on probation recieve a bond if there is a violation because of new charges pending? If a person is found to have some mental issues like paranoid schizophreniz, and DID while in jail is there any way to get them commited to a mental institute?

Answer: A person can get a bond at anytime, as long as the judge believes that the person is not a flight risk, or will commit more offenses while on bond. IF a person is committing offenses because of a mental health problem, it will be more difficult to get a bond. There are many ways to get a person to a mental health institution. You need to sit down with an attorney for a consult, and see the best way for your situation.

About Me

I hung a shingle in February 2000, because I saw that individuals charged with criminal offenses were being underserved by the attorneys practicing criminal law. Since February 2000, I have represented more than two thousand criminal clients. I only practice criminal law, but I do everything from violations of probation to Supreme Court appeals. There are few attorneys under the age of sixty that have my level of experience. I have tried more than two hundred major felony jury trials. I have tried more than fifty misdemeanor jury trials. In Philadelphia as a prosecutor, I tried more than two thousand bench trials. I have conducted more than three thousand preliminary hearings and bond hearings. Yet, I still have the energy at forty-five to serve my current clients. There is nothing that will occur in a courtroom that I have not experienced before. When you are looking for an attorney, experience is everything.
