What Is an Attorney Bond?
When you have been arrested, there are several types of bail you may be eligible for that can get you out of jail before your hearing date, such as the “surety bond” handled by a third-party bondsman. You may be better handled, however, with an attorney bond. This type of bond involves finding a defense attorney, to whom you will pay a specific percentage of the total bond amount to secure your bail bond. This releases you from jail before the date of your trial, and the attorney you contact for your bail bond must be the one representing you in court.
Defending You in Court
The attorney responsible for your signature bond will be the same lawyer representing you in court. This involves several technical steps your attorney will handle, such as filing some paperwork to inform the court that they will act as your legal representative. Not every defense attorney is legally qualified to handle attorney bonds, so it is important that you confirm with potential lawyers whether they can do this for you. Muñoz Law Group is one of a small group of firms allowed to do offer attorney bonds.
There are a few advantages to securing an attorney bond instead of a conventional surety bond with a bondsman. For one, as discussed above, bondsmen are more impersonal agents who aren’t as personally invested in the outcome of your case. A defense attorney is in it for the long haul; after handling your bond, they still have the legal responsibility to represent you in court.
Having an attorney bond also might even save you some money, because instead of having to pay for a bondsman’s services and an attorney, you will only need to pay your defense lawyer to handle both these things. Muñoz Law Group also offers payment plans for clients, so you don’t have to worry about fronting all these costs at once. Attorney Muñoz will work together with you to develop a plan for bail and then for getting out of your criminal charges.
