Can I Get the Bond Reduced?
Yes.
It's called a bond reduction hearing. Your lawyer can get a bond reduction hearing if the initial bond is too high.
You are entitled to a “reasonable bond”. Reasonable bond means reasonable for you, not an “average” or “normal” defendant.
At the hearing you have to convince the judge that you are not a risk of flight, have sufficient ties to the community to assure your appearance, not a danger to the community, and do not present continuing danger to the victim.
You only have one chance to reduce bond.

My experience with Mr. Behr and his staff was nothing short of phenomenal. I hope to not ever need representation again. But In the case I do. J would absolutely use Mr. Behr. I would also fully recommend him to anyone I know in need of representation. Jeff

When I travel throughout the world for business I can honestly say that I feel extremely comfortable knowing I can pick up the phone for guidance and know Mr. Behr will consistently have my back with a positive answer on the other end. I attribute my success with my business by having this honorable man on my team. Thomas

He filed motion after motion until the judge finally dismissed my case. He even took it to another judge. The guy never stopped and let nothing stop him. He was all over the prosecutor and knew more law than the judge, it was super cool to watch the man work. He is the best lawyer in the county. Jose
