Bond Hearings

Central Florida Bond Hearing Attorneys

When an individual is arrested for a criminal offense, the court often requires a payment to ensure that the person will show up at trial. When the individual pays for the bail bond, they are free to leave until the trial, at which point they will get their money back. If the court has required a payment you cannot afford or refused to set bail, it is time to contact an experienced defense lawyer to protect your rights at a bond hearing. At the Criminal Defense Group in Tampa, we can help.

The court has the right to refuse bail to clients who have been accused of crimes punishable by life in prison or have violated their parole. In all other cases, the court sets an individual's bail based on a bond schedule. If the court refused to set bail for you after your arrest, you can file a petition for a bond hearing.

At the Criminal Defense Group in Tampa, we believe that the best criminal defense is skilled in all aspects of your case, including your bond hearing. We will make sure your rights are protected and you understand your options at every step along the way.
