Bail Hearing Process Guide

Summary

To expedite a bail hearing for your mother, contact the county court clerk to request a hearing date and file a motion to set bail. You can also request a new public defender by contacting the court clerk or asking the judge at the next court appearance. If the probation officer opposes bail, gather evidence supporting her release and ensure she has legal representation. Consider hiring a local attorney, with costs ranging from $150 to $500 per hour, to assist with the process.
