How to Get Someone Out of Jail if They Were Arrested for Drunk Driving

 Posted on May 16, 2022 in DWI

When someone is suspected of a criminal offense, police usually handcuff that person, place them under arrest, and take them into police custody. For a misdemeanor offense like driving while intoxicated (DWI), the individual is held in police custody until they can attend a hearing before a magistrate judge and have their bond set. Once the person pays the bond, he or she is free to leave. He or she will be expected to return to court for his or her first appearance.

Unfortunately, the time between being arrested for DWI and the bond hearing can be 24-48 hours. For those with jobs, children, and other important responsibilities, waiting in police custody for two days while awaiting magistration is impractical and can even lead to serious repercussions like being fired.

If your loved one was recently arrested for drunk driving, you may be able to get them out of police custody almost immediately by securing an attorney writ bond.

How Does an Attorney Writ Bond Work?

A Writ of Habeus Corpus or writ bond is a special type of bond that allows someone to get out of jail before they see the magistrate judge. Writ bonds or attorney bonds are available for non-violent Class A and Class B misdemeanors, including driving while intoxicated.

The first step in securing an attorney writ bond is to contact a law firm that offers writ bonds like the Law Offices of Biederman & Burleson P.L.L.C. The person who was arrested may call the law firm from the jail or a friend or family member may contact the law firm on behalf of the person who was arrested. The attorney providing the writ bond will handle the next steps. An attorney writ bond can get someone out of jail within a few hours instead of a few days.
