Bond Reduction Motions

Attorney Richard Leal is available to assist clients with bond reduction motions.  In certain serious criminal offenses or violations of probation, the court can refuse to set a bond, or set a very high bond.  In those cases, the only way out of jail without entering a plea is to have an experienced criminal defense attorney file a bond reduction motion.

How a bond amount is determined

The courts usually determine the amount of your bond by referring to a bond schedule.  A bond schedule is a list of offenses and their corresponding bond amounts.  These amounts are determined based on the following factors:

• Prior record
• Ties to the local community
• Severity of the offense
• Risk of flight

Time frame for a bond reduction motion

Formal bond motions can usually be heard in as few as two days, but sometimes an experienced criminal defense attorney can reach an agreement within just a few hours.
