Florida Criminal Defense - Bond Reductions
Bond Reductions / House Arrests
Duval County - Jacksonville, Florida
If a person is arrested, he or she will see a magistrate within 24 hours for a bond hearing. Many times bonds in Jacksonville are set ridiculously high at the bond hearing. However, after the bond hearing, one can apply for a bond reduction, or for house arrest.
This hearing could be held before an entirely different judge, where we can present your side of the case to get the bond reduced or eliminated.
Many people spend all their resources paying for a bondsman and have no money left for a lawyer to represent you. Think carefully before exhausting your resources.
The first 24 hours are critical to your future.
