Bucks County Bail Hearings Lawyer

Experienced Defense in Pennsylvania and New Jersey

When an individual is arrested and charged with a criminal offense, bail is posted in order to reassure the court than an individual released from jail will return to court for future hearings as required. At Risoldi Law Offices, LLC, we provide clients with informative legal advice and representation. Our criminal defense practice is focused on protecting each client's rights and freedom.

If you have been arrested or charged with a crime, you have a right to consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney. At our law firm, criminal defense attorney Carla V. Risoldi provides clients with the legal counsel they need from their bail hearing or arraignment through the final disposition of their case.

Representing Clients in Bail Hearings in Pennsylvania and New Jersey

If you have been charged with a misdemeanor or felony offense, a judge will determine the amount of bail necessary for your release from jail. While in many cases the amount of bail is established according to a bail schedule, it is ultimately the judge's discretion to order a higher or lower amount of bail — or to deny bail entirely. Having an experienced criminal defense lawyer can be a significant advantage during your initial bail hearing. Depending on the circumstances of your case and the arguments presented by your lawyer at your bail hearing, you could be released with a reduced bail or may even be released without bail ("released on one's own recognizance": R.O.R.).

Factors that may influence your bail can include:

• Strong ties to the community, such as a number of family members live in the same community
• Prior criminal arrest record and record of reappearing in court when required
• Prior convictions
• The nature of the charges against you
• The severity of the penalties you face if convicted
• The risk to society if you were released
• Other factors deemed relevant to the court

As a former assistant prosecutor with nearly 20 years of legal experience, attorney Carla V. Risoldi provides clients with aggressive and effective legal counsel at initial bail hearings in New Jersey or Pennsylvania. In many cases, she is capable of petitioning to the court for reduced bail or to lift bail restrictions.
