Been a client of M&M Law for more than a year now. He helped with finding out information before my migration to the Philippines, has consulted outside of office hours whilst I was dealing with bad landlords and was able to connect me to other people when my non-legal questions were outside of his expertise.

Use these guides and glossary entries to understand the issue before a consultation. They are currently under internal legal review.

Glossary Terms
  • Subpoena

    A subpoena is a formal legal order directing a person to appear, testify, or produce documents. For many clients, receiving one is their first sign that a criminal or civil matter has moved beyond informal conflict into a compulsory legal process. The immediate need is usually practical: understand who issued it, what it requires, when compliance is due, and whether there are privileges, objections, or strategic considerations that should be reviewed before responding.

  • Bail

    Bail is the security given for the temporary release of a person in custody, subject to the person's appearance when required by the court. The public usually asks two practical questions: whether bail is available at all and how quickly release can be arranged. Those answers depend on the charge, the stage of the case, the strength of the prosecution's position for certain offenses, and the court or investigating authority currently handling the matter.
