3 Unique Challenges in Domestic Violence Cases

1. No-Contact Orders

In many cases, judges in Washington will impose a no-contact order to keep the involved parties from making contact with one another. Violating this order automatically revokes bail.

How We Help:

  • Provide free GPS monitoring referrals to prove compliance.

  • Connect you with attorneys who specialize in modifying no-contact terms.

2. Mandatory Arrest Policies

Washington law requires arrests in DV cases even if the victim recants. This often leads to higher bail amounts.

Example: A Tacoma client faced $50,000 bail despite the victim’s request to drop charges. Our team secured release in 8 hours using property collateral.

3. Collateral Risks

Co-signing a DV bail bond? Protect yourself:

  • Use non-cash collateral (cars, jewelry) instead of savings.

  • Ensure the defendant attends all court dates.

FAQ: Your Top Questions Answered

❓ “Can I post bail if there’s a no-contact order?”

Yes, but the defendant cannot contact the victim until the order is lifted. We help coordinate safe releases.

❓ “What if the victim wants to drop charges?”

Washington’s mandatory arrest policy means bail is still required. However, victim cooperation can lower bail amounts.

❓ “How long does DV bail take?”

Most clients are released in 6–12 hours once bail is posted.
