Bond Hearings in Southfield, Ann Arbor & Detroit

We represent clients at bail and bond hearings in order to obtain a bail bond at a favorable economic rate for our client. The purpose of setting bail or bonds is to reassure the court (state or federal) that a defendant in a given criminal trial will appear before the court at a future date. The process may vary from county to county, and can depend on where the defendant is being held. Bail is to be set high enough to reasonably assure that a defendant will appear at trial, but should not be so excessive as to serve as an instrument of oppression. The burden of proof in proving that bail is excessively high rests upon the defendant.
