Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Re: Held with No Bail

It can happen and, you may be surprised to learn, it does happen! And not just to your friend.

Get a lawyer. The lawyer will be able (if there is no prior restraining order or history of deadly violence) to get your friend out on bail or possibly without bail.

Then the fun starts. His word against hers! The DA will give his best efforts to obtain a conviction or get him to agree to a bad 'plea-bargain'.

The quality of his lawyer will determine the outcome here. This is the new world we live in. Becoming a part of the criminal justice system is a disaster - whether guilty or not - it will take a toll on every person.

1) Get a capable lawyer and 2) find someone that he can talk with. He will need a strong support system to get through this without making it worse.

You are welcome to a consultation for no fee.
