illinois there’s been a lot of changes specifically um since September of 2023 in which we’ve no longer called the court that allows you to get out of custody bond court We call it PFA court or pre-trial fairness act court This is a significant change in Illinois because
00:20
we no longer have a cash bond So anyone that’s taken into custody on a serious offense they are either going to be led out of custody or they’re going to have to sit in custody until their case is resolved The pre-trial fairness act court is a hearing that’s designated uh
00:36
for the defendant and the state uh to come before the court and to determine if uh the defendant is or has committed a serious enough offense to keep that person in custody So even if you’ve got a million dollars in the bank it doesn’t mean that you’re getting out of custody
00:51
So we hope that you would call our office so we can evaluate our case immediately and determine how we can make sure that you or your loved ones not stuck in behind bars while their case is pending
