Orlando Criminal Defense Lawyer & DUI Attorney:
When a person is arrested, they are usually transported directly to the county jail
where they are booked in and processed.  The booking process for an individual
can take several hours or more depending on the person's circumstances as
well as the volume of people being processed at a particular time.  

In many cases when the Defendant is booked in to jail, a standard bond is set,
and the person will be released once the bond is posted.  In some cases, such
as those involving domestic violence offenses, the individual must go before the
judge before a bond will be set.  This allows the judge the opportunity to review
the case and attach any additional conditions of release they feel are necessary.   

A person may also be held on a high bond or no bond if the case involves a more serious offense, or the individual
has failed to show up for a past court appearance, or the person is alleged to have violated the terms of their
probation.   

You should contact the booking department at the county jail to check on the status of an individual prior to going to
the county jail to bond them out.  The staff at the jail will be able to provide you with specific information regarding
the amount of a persons bond and their custody status.  

Note:  If you receive a call from a person in custody, do not discuss the facts of their case with them, as these
phone calls are subject to being recorded and can later be used as evidence against the person.  Your discussion
about the facts of the case with the inmate and their responding statements may be the one piece of evidence that
later results in their conviction.

Juveniles - If the person arrested is under the age of 18 the process is considerably different, please visit the
following link if this is your situation:  Juvenile Offenses

Bonding Someone Out of Jail -  You can either post the full amount of the bond yourself or you can hire a
bail bonds company.  If you post the entire amount yourself, you will receive the full amount back once the case is
resolved, as long as the Defendant shows up for their court appearances.   Bail bond companies usually charge a
ten percent fee of the total bond amount and require collateral in some cases.  They post the entire bond amount
necessary for the Defendant's release.   

Where is the Bond Paid - The bond is paid at the County Jail.  In most cases the bond can be paid at the jails
Booking and Release Center, however, if you are planning on paying the full bond amount yourself, you should be
aware that not all forms of payment are accepted.  For more information about a particular jails bond procedures
please contact the jail directly.

Bond Motions - If there is no bond set in the case, or if the bond is too high to post, a motion to reduce or set
bond may be an option.  Also, in cases where the conditions of bail are restrictive, such as in certain domestic
cases where you may be restricted from returning to your residence, a motion to modify the bond conditions may
also be possible.  The factors the court can consider in setting or modifying a bond are:

1)  The nature and circumstances of the offense charged and the penalty provided by law.
2)  The weight of the evidence against the defendant.
3)  The defendant's family ties and length of residence in the community.
4)  The defendant's employment history.
5)  The defendant's financial resources.
6)  The defendant's mental condition.
7)  The defendant's past and present conduct, including any record of convictions, previous flight to avoid
prosecution, or failure to appear at court proceedings.
8)  The nature and probability of danger that the defendant's release poses to the community.
9)  The Source of funds used to post bail.
10)  Whether the defendant is already on release pending resolution of another criminal proceeding or is on
probation, parole, or other release pending completion of sentence.
11)  Any other facts the court considers relevant.

In many cases, the Court will modify a bond, if presented with adequate reasons to justify the modification.
