Federal Pre-Trial & Bail
Release Command
When a loved one is arrested by federal authorities (CBP, HSI, FBI, DEA) in San Diego, the first 72 hours dictate whether they remain detained or secure pre-trial release under 18 U.S.C. § 3142.
The 4 Pre-Trial Milestones in Federal Court
We guide families and coordinate with defense counsel to build a technical release package for the magistrate judge.
Emergency Inmate Locator
Immediate tracking across USMS, MCC San Diego, and Otay Mesa Detention Center. Setting up emergency family communications and medical notifications.
PSO Interview Prep
Coaching the defendant or family for the Pretrial Services Officer (PSO) interview—the single most critical factor determining detention recommendations.
§ 3142 Bail Hearing Package
Compiling physical Tie-to-Community Binders (sureties, housing verification, employment proof, GPS monitoring consent) for defense counsel to present in court.
Discovery Indexing
Technical indexing of electronic discovery (CBP secondary inspection footage, GPS tracker logs) to support defense counsel in building a no-knowledge defense.
