Common questions
How do I find out where someone is being held?
County jails and sheriff's offices usually have online inmate searches. An attorney can also locate the person and confirm the charges and bail amount.
How is bail set, and can it be lowered?
Bail is set by a schedule or a judge at the first appearance. An attorney can argue for lower bail or release on your own recognizance by showing community ties and low flight risk.
What happens at the first court appearance?
The charges are read, a plea is entered, and bail is addressed. Having an attorney there from the start protects your rights at every step after.
Should we use a bail bondsman?
A bondsman posts the full bail for a non-refundable fee, usually around 10%. An attorney can advise whether paying cash bail, using a bondsman, or arguing for release makes the most sense.
