↑ Back to the question list5. What to do

↑ Back to the question list6. Bond rules
Every court date must be kept. When the charge is a person crime, state law sets a minimum 72-hour ban on reaching out to the complainant, which only the judge can change.
↑ Back to the question list7. Changing the bond
Your attorney can file a request with the district court in Room B of the courthouse. Ask the judge for appointed counsel if you can't hire one; the Board of Indigents' Defense Services (785-296-6631) funds it.
↑ Back to the question list8. Return of cash bond
Cash bond is released after the case wraps up, if all appearances were made, minus costs the law allows. Skipping court risks forfeiture under K.S.A. 22-2807. Agent premiums are kept.
