If you or someone you know is facing a criminal charge, you could be facing bond conditions, as well.
Bond conditions are requirements imposed by the court that a defendant in a criminal case must follow in the time leading up to his or her trial. These conditions are typically put into place in order to protect the potential victims of a criminal act, even before the defendant has been tried or convicted.

The severity of bond conditions is typically measured by a defendant’s criminal history or lack thereof.
