Do you need a lawyer at a bond hearing?

Do you need a lawyer at a bond hearing? It helps a lot. Most people do not have a lawyer at their bond hearing. Police just arrest you without warning usually. You have the right to a lawyer eventually but not at a bond hearing in South Carolina state court. If your family can get in touch with a lawyer after hours you should be able to get a lawyer. It can be tough to connect and hire a lawyer on such short notice.

At Complete Legal Defense Team, we have procedures to get on cases fast. A lot of lawyers, though, are not set up to get into a case that quickly.

At your bond hearing there are two issues. Are you a flight risk. Are you a danger to the community. Most people pass that test and get a bond set without a lawyer, so it is usually okay.

Problems arise on serious charges like Felony DUI with Death, Leaving the Scene with Death, Sexual Assault, Kidnapping, Armed Robbery and other charges such as Murder.

On those type cases you can still get a bond set, however, your chance of getting bond denied is significant. Your chance for a bond increases significantly if you have a lawyer representing you at your bond hearing.
