More details to this question:
I was charged domestic violence and I’m currently in a drug rehabilitation center. My girlfriend has contacted my family and wants to request to have the attorney general drop the charges. She never pressed charges but the state did. Can she have the no contact order lifted so she can visit me? How can she go about doing that?

The prosecutor and judge will not likely remove the order of protection until the case is resolved. You should retain a good lawyer to handle the case to avoid a conviction.

Since the No Contact order was signed by the judge, it would be the judge to lift it. She could ask to see the judge and request the No Contact order be lifted. It will be up to the judge to decide.

Your girlfriend has to go in person to the AG office and speak to the "victim advocate". Warning: she may change her mind after she does this.

Procedures for an amendment of bond differ from court to court. You should consult with an attorney who is familiar with the assigned judge.

Stop dreaming. They will NEVER drop charges simply because that's what your girlfriend wants. The moment she call the cops she began an irreversible process. Now you need to hire a good lawyer, or else you will lose your gun rights for life, and be forced to attend a long and expensive 52-week DV class.

It sounds like the state is pursuing criminal charges.
