Original Charges: Aggravated Assault by Strangulation, Cruelty to Children in the First Degree, Battery (Family Violence), and Cruelty to Children (Allowing a Child to Witness)

Case Overview
Our client was arrested in Clayton County, Georgia, and charged with Aggravated Assault by Strangulation, Cruelty to Children in the First Degree, Battery (Family Violence), and Cruelty to Children (Allowing a Child to Witness).
Several of these charges are serious felonies under Georgia law. Without a bond, a person facing charges like these can remain in custody for the entire time the case is pending, which can mean months away from work, family, and the ability to help prepare a defense.
Our Approach
Our defense team moved quickly to seek pretrial release. We presented the court with the information it needed to set reasonable conditions of release while the case moves forward.
Case Result
The court granted a $40,000 bond, allowing our client to be released from custody while the charges remain pending. The case is ongoing, and our team continues to defend the client against the underlying charges.
Why This Result Matters
A bond does not resolve the charges, but it is often one of the most important early steps in a criminal case. Being out of custody allows a person to keep working, support their family, and take an active part in their own defense.
If a loved one has been arrested on family violence or assault charges in Clayton County, the first few days matter. Our team can push for a bond hearing and start building the defense right away. Call us for a free consultation: 770-800-2000.
