In some cases, a lawyer negotiates an ordinance resolution, but the available outcome depends on the evidence, alleged injuries, prior record, and prosecutor’s position. Matthew Cohan and his team assess potential dismissals, reductions, and other resolutions. They present mitigating circumstances and weaknesses in the State’s case without promising a particular result.

In the federal system, pretrial release is governed by the Bail Reform Act, and there is no cash bail bondsman system. Instead, a person is either released on conditions—often secured by property or co-signers—or detained pending trial if the court finds they pose a flight risk or a danger to the community. Even if bail is initially denied, an experienced criminal defense attorney may still be able to secure release by presenting a comprehensive bail package and making a strong argument in court.
