St. Louis Lawyer For Bond Reductions & Warrant Recalls
If you’ve been charged with a crime or have violated conditions of probation, it is likely that the court will issue a warrant for your arrest. When a warrant is issued on a new charge, the Court must set a reasonable bond, which the individual may post in exchange for release from custody. A Bond can be thought of as an amount of money, which the Court holds as collateral, to ensure that the individual returns to court as directed until the case is resolved. If the bond is posted in cash to the court, then it will be refunded to the individual at the end of the case. However, when a bondsman is used, the fee paid to the bondsman is not refundable and the individual will not be able to recover the costs of the bondsman’s services.
Experienced Criminal Defense In St. Louis & Barnhart
Hiring an experienced criminal defense attorney at the earliest possible time in a criminal matter can help avoid the expense of a bondsman. In some cases, a defense lawyer can get warrants canceled, or recalled, entirely. In other cases, the attorney may be able to arrange for the bond to be reduced to nothing more than personal recognizance, which is your signature and promise to appear.
Bond Reductions And Bond Condition Modifications
In cases of probation violations, or in circumstances where the individual is already in custody but can’t afford to post the current bond, an experienced defense attorney can file motions to get the bond reduced and/or the bond conditions modified.
