Escambia County Bond Hearings Lawyer
Having a lawyer represent you at a probation violation or bond hearing can make the difference between keeping your freedom and going to jail. While the ultimate decision will be made by a judge, presenting the right evidence in court (such as letters from your employer, family members and members of your community) can strengthen your case.
At The Burns Law Firm in Pensacola, we represent people who have been (or soon will be) arrested, or have been accused of probation violations. If you or your loved one faces jail due to a probation violation, we offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
Representing You at Bond Hearings
If a warrant has been issued for your arrest, the last thing you should do is wait for police to arrest you. If you contact us before you are arrested, attorney James Burns can arrange for you to turn yourself in at a time when you can obtain bond. If you wait until you are arrested, you will have to sit in jail until you can appear before a judge.
Whenever possible, you should talk to a lawyer before you obtain bond. It may be possible to obtain a reduction in bond or even be released on your own recognizance. We work with reputable bail bond companies in Florida and Alabama.
Representing You at Probation Violation Hearings
You can be charged with a probation violation if you are charged with a new crime while on probation or if you violate the terms of your probation (such as failing a drug test). The consequences of a probation violation can be very serious. The judge can revoke your probation and send you to prison.
An experienced attorney can defend you. For example, if you are charged with a crime, it may be possible to avoid a conviction. If you are accused of violating a term of your probation, it may be possible to show that you still have the ability to comply with that term.
