Q: If somebody is out on bond with a curfew and an ankle monitor, how can you get the curfew extended for work?
It's my assistant manager and I'm trying to get him promoted, but he has to have open availability. The case hasn't even made it to superior court yet and may not. His lawyer is court appointed and ignoring him(not returning phone calls or messages). Thank you in advance.
A:
You would need to file a motion to modify the conditions of bond. It’s possible that a prosecutor would consent, but if not, a hearing before a judge would be required.

Joshua Schiffer agrees with this answer
A: The above is correct and it stinks when the PD is ignoring the clients needs. Unfortunately often the PD's are dramatically overworked and cannot provide the services and attention that a private lawyer can, so it may be a good idea to call some LOCAL lawyers and inquire about hiring them. Extra attention creates a squeaky wheel and that will get addressed by the court. Good Luck!
