Myth: If I Have Low Bail, My Charge Is Not A Big Deal

Many people believe that the severity of the charges is dependent on the bond amount. This is not true. Never assume it will be an easy case because of a low bond. Never assume because it is high that you have a difficult case. Bail does not have anything to do with the strength of your case or whether you should hire a criminal defense attorney.

Bond and bail determinations are completely separate from the severity of the criminal charge. Often a judge sets the amount of bail with limited information, and he or she is simply looking at whether you will show up in court.

Advice About Paying Bond From A Skilled Lawyer

There is a difference between going to a bondsman and paying the jail directly for your release. If you give the money directly to the jail, you may not get it back right away. They could also remove fees and return less than the full amount.

Before you post bail, contact a criminal defense attorney at Aaron Delgado & Associates. We can help you understand your options, determine whether you should pay a bondsman or the jail, and help you understand your rights when posting bail in Volusia County throughout Florida.
