If you are a defendant and have hired an attorney, our office will not be able to communicate with you. We will only be able to communicate with your attorney regarding your case.

If you are a defendant and have not hired an attorney, you may complete a form called Waiver of Your Right to an Attorney. This form can be obtained from the Clerk of Courts Office. After you have completed, signed, and filed the form with the Clerk of Courts Office and provided a copy to this office, the prosecutor on the case will be able to communicate with you at the Pretrial Conference.

You may go to the State Public Defender's Office. They will discuss the steps you need to take to obtain an attorney.

Go to the law enforcement agency where the violation occurred and make a complaint to a police officer. You cannot make your complaint directly to our office. The police officer will investigate the matter and refer any appropriate charges to our office for prosecution. An attorney from the District Attorney's Office will decide whether or not to file charges.

Once the District Attorney's Office has filed charges against someone, only the assigned prosecuting attorney can decide to drop the charges.

If the judge ordered that the no contact be non-waivable, you will need to write a letter to the judge requesting that a hearing be set to reconsider the no-contact condition of the bond.

If the no-contact is waivable, you can contact The Women's Community for assistance.

The bond conditions are effective until the case is dismissed or the defendant is sentenced for the crime.

After the case is completed, contact the law enforcement agency that is holding your property. They will then contact the District Attorney's Office regarding this matter. The law enforcement agency will then contact you regarding the release of your property.
