What is a no contact order, who does it apply to and can it be lifted or modified?

NO CONTACT ORDER

A No Contact Order can only be imposed as part of a criminal case. The Judge may issue a No Contact Order in a pending criminal case, or as part of any sentence imposed in a criminal case.

Offenders who are arrested for any felony charge, or a misdemeanor charge of domestic violence, stalking, violation of a No Contact Order, or violation of a Protection Order, will appear before a Judge the next business day. The Judge, at that time, will arraign the offender, set a bond, and decide whether to impose a No Contact Order.

The terms of a No Contact Order vary depending upon the Judge’s order. You should not attempt to contact the protected parties listed in the No Contact Order when there is a No Contact Order in place unless there is a specific provision in the order that allows contact by some means. Again, the terms of a No Contact Order vary from case to case and are at the discretion of the Judge.

A violation of a No Contact Order is a crime and will result in new charges being filed.

MODIFYING THE NO CONTACT ORDER

Only the Judge can modify a No Contact Order. Either party listed in the No Contact Order may request that the Judge modify the No Contact Order. In order to have the No Contact Order modified, a Motion to Modify the No Contact Order must be filed. The Court will set a hearing on the Motion. At the hearing, the Judge may ask questions about lifting or modifying the No Contact Order. After hearing from the victim(s), the State, and the defense, the Judge will make a decision regarding the No Contact Order.

How does the bond process work and how do I bond someone out of jail?

Once a friend or family member is accused of committing a crime they are taken to county jail

and are given the opportunity to post bail. All misdemeanor offenses have a statutory bond

amount that has already been pre-set. A felony offense requires the inmate to go in front of a

judge before a bond is set. Depending on the allegations against the defendant and the inmates

prior record as well as the ties the inmate has to the community will be the determining factors

the judge uses when setting a bond.


Once bond has been set, the inmate will be given the opportunity to contact a bondsman or a

loved one to get them out of jail until the court date is set. The bondsman will work with the

family and give them all the options necessary to help the family during this difficult time. A

cosigner is usually required.  A cosigner guarantees that the defendant will appear at his/her

court dates until the defendant’s case is resolved through the court process. Most Bond

companies will allow payment plans if the defendant or family is having a difficult time getting

the premium. Monthly payments are usually figured based on the monthly income of the

cosigner as well as the defendant.


The Law Office of Jeffery E. Nona, can refer you to a professional local bondsman with years of

experience. They will walk you through the process and make it as easy as possible for you and

your loved ones.


The purpose of posting bail gives the defendant the opportunity to assist their attorney in the

preparation of their criminal case and any possible defenses they may have. It also allows them

to keep working that way they can continue to provide for their families and not lose their

employment sitting in jail waiting for future court dates.
