Bail Hearings & Criminal Lawyers

Bail hearings & criminal trials are two aspects of the justice system that people accused of a crime may have to go through. The process provides for a series of motions and appearances as a case moves from arrest to arraignment to trial. These proceedings are a part of the process that occur after arraignment and before trial. The purpose is to determine whether the court will force the defendant to deposit cash or other assets. It is set when there is likelihood that the defendant may try to leave town; and in cases where the defendant is considered a danger to others it may be denied entirely. Bail hearings & criminal trials are governed by the rules of court but also involve rights protected by the Constitution.
