Challenging Motions for Pre-Trial Detention

Fighting for Your Freedom Before Trial

When facing criminal charges, one of the first and most critical steps is securing your release from custody. In some cases, the prosecution may file a Motion for Pre-Trial Detention, seeking to keep you behind bars until trial. Zac understands how crucial your freedom is during this time and fights aggressively to challenge these motions and secure your release.


What is a Motion for Pre-Trial Detention?

A Motion for Pre-Trial Detention is a formal request by the prosecution to hold you in custody until the conclusion of your trial. This motion is often based on the claim that you pose a flight risk, are a danger to the community, or may interfere with witnesses or evidence. If the court grants this motion, you could remain in jail for months before your case is even heard, which can severely impact your ability to defend yourself.


An Arthur Hearing is a legal proceeding where Zac can challenge the prosecution’s request for pre-trial detention. The prosecution must provide clear and convincing evidence that keeping you in custody is necessary. If the defense presents a strong case, the judge may grant your release under conditions such as bail, electronic monitoring, or community supervision.

  • Regular check-ins with law enforcement
