A:
I'm sorry to hear about your son's situation. If your son is being held in Contra Costa County with a high bond, it's important to find a criminal defense attorney experienced in handling serious cases like his. You can start by reaching out to local law firms that handle criminal defense in Contra Costa County, as many of them offer free consultations to discuss the details of the case and possible options.
You may also want to contact the Contra Costa County Bar Association, which offers lawyer referral services that can connect you with attorneys who handle cases like your son's. This can be a good way to find someone who has experience dealing with the local courts and is familiar with how bonds and bail work in the area.
Another option is to explore public defenders, who can be appointed if your son cannot afford a private attorney. They are often knowledgeable about the local legal system and can provide guidance through this process. Make sure to ask any potential lawyer about their approach, fees, and how they plan to handle the case to ensure you feel comfortable with their representation.
