Florida Bail Bondsman Assistance | Experienced Criminal Law Attorney
Unlike many other law firms, The Law Office of Mitchell E. Fox can get their clients or their clients' loved ones out of jail by helping them to locate bail bondsmen in their area and then by negotiating for the fairest possible terms on their behalf.
Being suddenly arrested or knowing you are going to be arrested can be one of the most stressful events in your life. Not knowing how to locate a bail bondsman at 3 o'clock in the morning and not knowing how to negotiate the fairest possible terms can be a trap for the unwary.
You are more likely to obtain favorable terms with a bail bondsman with Attorney Mitchell E. Fox negotiating on your behalf rather than obtaining a bail bondsman by yourself. A bond is usually required to ensure that the person being arrested will not flee the jurisdiction. Usually within twenty-four hours of a person's arrest, they will be arraigned before a judge who will determine what the bond will be. Although the nature of your particular charge is the primary determination of what your bond will be, there are many other factors we may ask the judge to consider in your case; your standing in the community and family ties, the lack of any prior criminal record, your socio-economic status and employment, and the jurisdiction are some of the factors, along with many others that may be helpful in getting your bond reduced.
Depending on the factors that are utilized in determining what the bond will be, there can be a cash or non-cash bond:
- Cash bonds are required with more serious offenses.
- Non cash bonds can be any form of collateral, such as a car or a home.
Determining what type of collateral to use as a non-cash bond should be done in a thoughtful way, not a split second decision that you may regret later.
If the person the bond is posted for flees the jurisdiction, the judge can revoke the bond and what is put up as collateral for the bond will be forfeited. When the criminal matter is resolved, the bond will be released, less the fee the bail bondsman charges. Obtaining the right bail bondsman for your particular situation is a key decision for you to make.
