Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Re: Bond

Typically, only attorneys may make an appearance on behalf of another person. However, the accused may request a bond reduction pro se. Your best bet is to have an experienced criminal attorney make the request. He knows how to structure the argument, and what factors the judge will take into consideration.

Re: Bond

If the inmate is being held no-bond, it may not be possible for anyone to get him out on bond. It may depend on why he is being held no bond. If it is a non-bondable offense, a lawyer may be able to release the inmate under certain conditions, such as an ankle bracelet. If he is being held no-bond because he was already out on bond and picked up a new offense, or violated probation, the Judge can hold him without a bond until the case has been disposed of. However, the inmate can either represent himself, or hire a lawyer. A non-lawyer cannot likely speak on behalf of the inmate.

I have experience in this area, and would be more than happy to answer any additional questions you may have. Please feel free to contact me via e-mail or telephone if you would like to discuss the case further.
