Bond Reduction

My brother has been in jail since 01/14/09 for possession of marijuana 2nd degree felony he has been indicted on 4/7/09 his bond is to high for any of us to pay. It's $60,000, how or can we put in any paperwork to get the bond reduced. We hired an attorney and he said he has put in the paperwork but it has been a really long time. How or can I verify that the lawyer did sumbit the paperwork, and how long does it usually take before we get an answer?
