Bond Hearings
Cohen Battisti, Orlando
Bond Hearing Lawyers / Attorneys
In most cases, an accused individual is
entitled to a reasonable bond set by the court, which the accused
must post with the court in order to be released from jail following
arrest on a criminal offense, and in order to provide the accused an
incentive to make all necessary court appearances and comply with
all court orders during the accused’s case. Most bonds are set
automatically by the court according to a bond schedule. But
frequently the court may deny a bond initially for crimes punishable
by life imprisonment and for violations of probation. The attorney
for the accused may then file a motion to set a reasonable bond and
set the motion for a bond hearing. At the hearing, the court would
consider the nature and seriousness of the charges, the amount of
evidence against the accused as a basis for the accused’s arrest and
detention, as well as the accused’s ties to the community. The less
serious the charges and less extensive the evidence, and the greater
the accused’s ties to the local community, the greater the chance of
the court setting a reasonable bond.
