| Bail, Jail, and Thanksgiving |
| I want to wish everyone out there a happy, safe, and fun Thanksgiving. On days like this, all of us should be greatful and count our many blessings. For some, Thanksgiving day does not turn quite the way they planned. Instead of turkey, stuffing, family, and friends, they are stuck behind bars. For those unfortunate few and their loved ones, this is excrutiating. At most other times, when someone has just been arrested, they know that they will be seeing a judge (or commissioner) by the following day; two at the latest. Their attorneys can expeditiously make bail reduction moments and the process can begin. With courthouses closed until Monday, that certainly is not the case. As an experienced criminal defense attorney in Southern California, I receive numerous calls on Thanksgiving each year. The voices on the other end of the phone are panicked; Some even calling collect from jail or prison. Few know where and how to get help. Over the years, I have developed a strong network (team), including investigators and bail bondsmen. When needed, I have had a bail agent at many lock-up facilities -- from Ventura to Bevrely Hills to the West Valley Detention Center in the Inland Empire, and even to Orange County -- within one hour. Time is of the essence. Police investigators and detectives know this and try to get defendants to talk. Those in custody rarely comprehend the need to ask for an attorney right away and repeatedly, or even their basic constitutional rights. At the Law Offices of Richard M. Sudar, we are skilled and are experts in the entire criminal defense process. Let us help you in court and before. I always am available, weekends and holidays included. And, in those most unfortunate of circumstances, I can ensure that the very best bail agent gets your loved one home where they belong quickly and cost effectively. Again, I wish all of you a fantastic and festive Thanksgiving. To contact the Law Offies of Richard M. Sudar, call (310) 277-4112. We are availabale 24 hours a day for your free consultation.
