Q: brother’s gf pressed charges for domestic violence/bodily harm. Can she remove them? She doesn’t want to hurt his record
She doesn’t want to continue with it. They’ve separated and now have no contact. Has a bond of $10000. He paid $1000 to get out of jail. Will he have to pay the remaining $9000?
A: No he will not have to pay the remaining $9,000.00 just as long as he makes all of his court appearances. She can speak with the State and see if they will drop the charges because she no longer wants to continue the case against him. This will work in Cook County but it will not work in Du Page or Will County. I suggest hiring an experienced criminal defense attorney right away.
