Motion to Modify Bond Conditions in a Georgia Criminal Case

By Ben Sessions on October 5th, 2016 in Criminal Defense

One of the considerations that you must have in selecting a criminal defense lawyer is whether that lawyer has the time (and energy) to help you when unexpected issues arise. Believe me, particularly in criminal cases that involve disputes between people, particularly family members or partners, issues occur quite frequently. Many problems arise in the context of bond conditions. Below is a template motion to modify bond conditions in Georgia criminal case:
