A bail hearing is a legal process where the court decides whether a person who has been arrested can be released from custody while awaiting trial. The judge looks at factors like your criminal history (if any), the seriousness of the charge, your ties to the community, and whether you’re a flight risk or a danger to the public.
A strong bail hearing can be the difference between going home or staying in jail for weeks—or even months—until your case is heard. That’s why it’s crucial to have a lawyer who understands what’s at stake and knows how to present a compelling case for your release.
Anyone who has been arrested and held in custody has the right to apply for bail. You can apply personally, or a family member, partner, or friend can contact a lawyer on your behalf to begin the process.
We also help sureties—the people who promise to supervise the accused—to understand their role and responsibilities during the bail process.
You should apply for bail as soon as possible, because even one extra day in custody can cause serious disruption to your job, education, family, and mental health.
