Having an experienced criminal defense attorney at a bail hearing is necessary to effectively argue vigorously against a high bail by pointing out the nature of the charges, the Defendant's ties to the community and other redeeming facts that will assist the Judge in determining what an appropriate bail should be. Pittsburgh Criminal Defense Attorney Frank Walker has the experience you need for your bail hearing.

In Allegheny County, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, most everyone who is arrested is entitled to a reasonable bond. Ideally, the bond is set to ensure the presence of the arrested, also known as the Defendant, at all future criminal proceedings: Preliminary hearing, formal arraignment, Pre-trial conference and Trial.

A knowledgeable and experienced bail attorney is the most effective way to convince the Pittsburgh Courts to impose fair and reasonable bonds in bail hearings. Since on of the main purposes of bail is to guarantee the defendants presence at future criminal trial proceedings, the poster of the bail forfeits the money posted as bail if the defendant fails to appear for future proceedings. A bench warrant is also issued if the defendant does not return for their court dates and the Defendant could remain lodged at the Allegheny County Jail pending trial.

If you have been arrested and charged in Allegheny County, Beaver County, Westmoreland County or the surrounding Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area with a crime such as Driving Under the Influence (DUI), Assault,  Simple Possession of Narcotics, Domestic Violence or other crimes, then you may be released on bail in between your arraignment and the actual trial, depending on the circumstances of your case and criminal history.  Indeed, for first offenses and more minor crimes, bail may not be an issue, but for more serious crimes and if there is any suspicion that the defendant will not appear in court, the judge may set higher bail.
