Boston Bail and Release Hearing Attorney
An essential aspect of the defense representation that our law firm provides is helping our clients at their bail and release hearings. When you are arrested, the first thing on your mind is most likely getting out of jail as quickly as possible. That will be the first focus of your Boston criminal defense attorney when taking on your case.
Don't Go to Court Without a Lawyer
The defense attorneys at our law firm handle all crimes — in every Massachusetts court – and we also appear at all sorts of criminal hearings: outstanding warrants, probation violations, record sealing, sentencing hearings, probable cause hearings, and licensing issues at the RMV.
A person who is arrested and charged with a crime will be held in custody until bail is set by the court. Bail is an amount of money that a defendant must pay to the court so he or she may be released. It serves as a guarantee that the defendant will return for all necessary court appearances related to the case, as it is returned to the defendant if he or she complies and is surrendered to the court if the defendant fails to appear.
How to Get Out Without Bail
The amount of bail set by a judge will vary depending on the severity of your charges and whether or not you are deemed to be a flight risk. There are three potential outcomes in regard to bail: 1) The judge may set a bail amount, 2) Refuse bail altogether, or 3) Allow you to be released your own recognizance (without bail). The best scenario is obviously the one that enables your release without bail. That is our primary goal in handling bail and release hearings. We can offer a compelling case on a client's behalf to show the judge that bail should be reduced or eliminated entirely.
