### Understanding State Lenience in Criminal Proceedings

Navigating criminal procedures can feel overwhelming and unfair. In our latest video, I, Aaron Grubb, a Tahlequah attorney at Wirth Law Office, explore the concept of state lenience in arrests. Did you know that police only need probable cause—a mere 20% belief that a crime may have occurred—to make an arrest? This leniency allows law enforcement to act but places defendants at a significant disadvantage. For instance, missed deadlines by the District Attorney may be overlooked by the court, further skewing the balance of justice. If you’re facing charges, it’s crucial to have an experienced attorney by your side. Contact us today to schedule your low-cost initial strategy session.

**Is Your Bond Conditioned on a GPS Tracker?**

Have questions about your bond conditions? I’m Aaron Grubb, a Tahlequah attorney at Wirth Law Office.

**Understanding How Bail Bonds Work**

In our latest video, Tahlequah attorney Aaron Grubb from Wirth Law Office explains the essentials of bail bonds. When someone is arrested and booked, they must pay a certain amount, known as bail, to secure their release. This payment acts as a guarantee that the person will return for their court date. If they appear as scheduled, the bail may be refunded, though conditions can vary by county. Bail bondsmen can help cover this cost for a fee, typically around 10%.
