RIGHT TO REQUEST A BOND HEARING
At the time of a defendant’s First Appearance, if no reasonable bond is set, the defendant has the right to request a Bond Hearing in order to try and get a bond set, or to try and have an existing bond lowered. During this time, your attorney can file a “Motion to Modify Conditions of Bond or Pretrial Release”.
With a solid motion and defense in place, a Judge may decide to lower a bond amount as well as reduce conditions of the bond. Regardless of whether or not the Judge lowers the bond or reduces the amount of conditions, any bond amount and remaining conditions must be fully complied with, or a defendant may risk being returned to jail.
During the bond hearing, the Judge will determine if:
- The bond should be lowered, or
- If conditions of release should be modified.
