Client Released on Bond After Weeks in Jail

Troy, MI – July 7, 2023: When our client’s family came to us 3 weeks ago, our 19-year-old client sat in the Oakland County Jail without bond in a serious armed robbery case. Mr. Freeman immediately went to work, and convinced the Court to actually set a bond. However, over Mr. Freeman’s objection, the bond became $1 Million, Cash/Surety. This was just as bad as no bond at all. Nevertheless, Mr. Freeman kept fighting.

Today, after posting the bond, the Oakland County Jail released the client with a GPS tether.
