When it comes to bail bonds, most jurisdictions have a customary amount for various charges that can be paid before a hearing. The bail amount may change based on how many charges are being booked on a single act.

Typically, the more severe the crime, the higher the bail amount. If you have put someone else in danger, or have used physical or sexual violence against someone, or threatened to use violence against someone, you may denied bail bonds in Miami-Dade County.

While you may pay the standard bail amount on your first arrest, you can expect to pay more for subsequent arrests — especially if it is for the same charge. If you are currently out on bail and then arrested, you may face denial of bail even for a misdemeanor. Tell our Optimal Bail Bonds team about your situation!

Community ties are assessed based on your “flight risk.” Remember that working with a Florida bail bond agency is collateral, and the bail itself is a promise that you will return for your court date as ordered. The more invested you are in the community — job status, family, etc. — the less likely the court is to think you will skip your court date and the more willing a judge will be to reduce bail amounts.

If someone — such as a parent or close family member — that the court finds trustworthy is willing to take responsibility for you showing up for your court date, the judge may be willing to lower bail amounts and release you to the custody of the responsible party. But if not, you may need to get a bail bond in Miami-Dade County.

It’s possible to request leniency based on financial status. If the judge finds your situation to be credible, then he or she may reduce the bail amount or release you on your recognizance.
