Laws and procedures regarding pretrial release tend to vary somewhat from one state to another. There are also several factors that influence bail amounts<\/a>. However, there are a number of different factors that defense attorneys regularly address when attempting to get a lower or even no bail for their clients.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve dedicated this piece to exploring this subject in more detail. Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n

Factors That Defense Attorneys Address for Lower\/No Bail<\/h2>\n

These are the most common factors that attorneys address when attempting to secure a lower bail or even no bail for their clients:<\/p>\n

Criminal Record<\/h2>\n

The lawyer often tries to present any of the defendant\u2019s past experiences with the criminal justice system in a way that works in the defendant\u2019s favor. In the case that the client has no criminal record, the attorney will emphasize as much. In the case that the defendant has had run-ins with the criminal justice system, their attorney will generally emphasize (to the extent possible) that the defendant made all their required appearances that are associated with the charges against them.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Danger to the Community<\/h2>\n

In this case, the attorney argues that their client, the defendant, will not pose a threat to anyone while they\u2019re out of custody. Of course, this line of argument is more applicable to defendants who are charged with nonviolent crimes.<\/p>\n

The Defendant\u2019s Ties to the Community<\/h2>\n

Another crucial factor that attorneys tend to emphasize is the defendant\u2019s ties to the community. For instance, a defendant that has significant local family ties, as well as a job, generally fares better in the court\u2019s eyes. Judges tend to be impressed when a defendant\u2019s family members and employer appear personally to support them at a bail hearing.<\/p>\n
