New Jersey attorney helping clients by getting their bail reducedIn New Jersey, everyone is entitled to bail unless they are charged with a capital offense (such as murder) or are proven to be a flight risk. The right to bail, however, does not mean that it will be automatically set at an affordable amount. There are many factors that are used to set bail. Showing that these factors are in your favor will increase the likelihood that your bail will be lowered. Factors that affect bail include:
- Likelihood of conviction
- Seriousness of the crime
- Extent of punishment that prosecution is seeking
- The defendant’s reputation in the community
- Length of time the defendant has lived in the community
- Defendant’s employment status
- Number of community members willing to vouch for defendant
John will immediately file a bail reduction motion if you are unable to afford the current amount. This hearing must occur seven days after the motion is filed. John will argue to the judge the reasons why you are not a flight risk, and that you can be trusted to show up for court. These will include your employment status, favorable reputation, and family ties to the community. John protects your presumption of innocence and realizes that you should not spend one extra night in jail because you have been accused of committing a crime.
