Waukegan Bond Hearing and Bond Reduction Lawyer Matthew R Gebhardt

Do I need an attorney for a Bond Hearing in Waukegan?

The answer to the above question is an unequivocal YES! Once arrested in Waukegan, you will be taken in front a judge for a bond hearing, usually within 24 hours. The bond hearing will be your first contact with the Judge and can be critical in setting a tone for the entirety of your case.

At the bond hearing, the judge will verify your identity, inform you what you have been charged with, advise you of your rights and ultimately determine your bail. Without an experienced bond hearing lawyer at your side, you could wind up with an excessively high bond and have no other choice but to wait out the pendency of your case while you are incarcerated; some serious cases can take over a year to resolve. That is a year of your life that you can’t get back even if you are ultimately found not guilty of all charges. For this reason alone, it is imperative that you have an experienced Bond Hearing and Bond Reduction lawyer at your side from the very beginning.

Waukegan Bond Hearing and Bond Reduction Lawyer Matthew R Gebhardt will appear with you at your bond hearing. I will argue that based on the evidence provided, you should be entitled to release without bond pending your court date. Or, in the alternative, that a reasonable bond be set so you can be immediately released from custody to return to your family, job, etc.

Don’t start off your case already behind the proverbial eight ball. Call my office so we can begin to fight your case and protect your rights from the very beginning.
