Can I Get Bail for Assault, Robbery, or Other Violent Crimes in New York?

Bail or release conditions depend on the charge, the allegations, criminal history, prior court appearances, and other factors the court considers at arraignment. 

Serious violent felony charges, including some assault and robbery allegations, often create a greater risk of restrictive release conditions or detention than lower-level offenses.

Your lawyer should prepare for the arraignment immediately and present information that supports release on the least restrictive conditions available. This may include proof of stable residence, employment, family responsibilities, community ties, and a plan to comply with court orders.
