Bail Reduction Hearings Attorney in Amarillo

You Can Save Thousands with an Immediate Bail Reduction Hearing

When someone is arrested and charged with a crime in Texas, the court determines how much money that person must pay to get out of jail before their trial. The money serves as the defendant’s promise to return to the court for additional proceedings and the trial.

At the Quackenbush Law Firm, I have helped my clients save hundreds of thousands of dollars with immediate bail bond reduction hearings. Don’t think for a second that the government will require a reasonable sum in exchange for your freedom from the start. Bail is supposed to be set high enough to deter you from fleeing, but this amount can vary among judges and become unreasonably overwhelming.

If you need help lowering your bail amount, contact me for help. As a bail reduction hearings attorney in Amarillo, I have more than 30 years of experience helping people in situations like yours regain their freedom while awaiting trial.

Why Do I Need My Bail Reduced?

Your bail is essentially the price for your freedom before your trial. It can be weeks, months, or even longer before your trial comes up, and failing to make bail means you can spend all of that time in jail. Reducing your bail can make it easier to afford your pretrial freedom.

If you await trial while incarcerated, you won’t have as much freedom to prepare for your trial, to arrange your affairs in case of a conviction, or simply to enjoy time with your friends and loved ones before your trial. You must do all of these things around the rules of the facility detaining you until your big day in court.

What Happens During a Bail Reduction Hearing?

I have advocated for clients during many bail reduction hearings. During these proceedings, I can argue for a lesser bail amount by using witnesses, relevant facts about a client’s case, and discussing a client’s financial condition. A judge will consider my arguments as well as any from the prosecution before making a decision regarding a client’s bail amount.

This process can feel a lot like actually being on trial already, but keep in mind that the only thing at stake at this point in the process is your bail amount. Whether your bail reduction hearing goes in your favor or not, it’s not necessarily indicative of how well your real trial will go.

It’s Your Right to Fight against Excessive Bail

The Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution prohibits excessive bail. Because this term wasn’t defined in the Constitution, the U.S. Supreme Court has since interpreted “excessive bail” to refer to bail that’s intended to keep someone in jail.

Always remember: Your bail is not a punishment and it can’t be used as one!

If your bail is excessive and seems like its only purpose is to keep you unnecessarily confined, contact a bail reduction hearings attorney in Amarillo like me for help! As the principal attorney and founder at Quackenbush Law Firm, I have more than three decades of experience that I can use to help you fight against an unreasonable, unfair, and excessive bail amount.
