WHAT TO EXPECT AT A BAIL BOND HEARING IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, TAMPA
In most cases involving a criminal charge, there’s a bond hearing as a possibility. A bond will be set in any felony case and in most misdemeanor cases. That bond may be $50,000 – $75,000. A hearing can be set in front of the judge that’s handling your case and that hearing determines what that bond should be.
In some cases the bond will be set at a higher amount or a lower amount depending on a person’s prior record, depending on whether a person has ties to the community, depending whether a person has someone argue on their behalf to reduce the bond. But a bond hearing is often the first actual contested hearing in a criminal case.
At a bond hearing, you need someone to call witnesses, you need someone to present evidence and make arguments on your behalf.
