Before making any decisions about your legal representation, take a closer look at the benefits of an attorney writ bond.

Why Get an Attorney Writ Bond?

If you or your loved one are in jail and waiting for a bond hearing before a judge, a licensed lawyer can file an attorney writ bond. In doing so, the attorney will require the sheriff to quickly set a bond for you, which, when paid, will allow you or your loved one to leave jail without waiting for a judge or magistrate to be available to issue your bond.

There are many benefits to getting an attorney writ bond, but there are a few primary reasons to have your lawyer file one if you qualify. If you or a loved one are in jail, you most likely hope to get out as quickly as possible. Obtaining an attorney writ bond is the best way to do so because of the following:

1. You will get out of jail right away — As previously stated, you or your loved one will usually be out of jail within two or three hours instead of potentially waiting for multiple days for a judge or magistrate to set bail. If you happen to get arrested during the weekend, an attorney writ bond will allow you to be released without the need to wait until a judge is available.

2. You will be able to take advantage of an attorney writ bond for a variety of alleged crimes — Class A and Class B misdemeanors qualify for attorney writ bonds. This includes DWI, theft, possession of marijuana, etc. However, attorney writ bonds are not available for felony offenses or arrests for family violence or assault.

3. You will have a familiar ally on your side — If you work with a licensed attorney to file an attorney writ bond, you will already have a lawyer on your side who is more familiar with you and your case than other lawyers may be. As such, if you need further assistance defending against the criminal charges you were arrested for or dealing with other related legal issues, your attorney will already be familiar with you and your case as a result of this attorney writ bond work.
