Detention / Bond Hearing Attorney In Miami, Florida

What Are Detention And Bond Hearings?

If you or a loved one has entered the United States outside of the law, they might find themselves in the hands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. After they receive a Notice to Appear (NTA), ICE will determine whether to release them on their own recognizance or detain them with or without a set bond amount. Since detainees must pay these bonds in full, many of them, even with the aid of their families, cannot afford to pay the entire amount. If they cannot pay the money in full, they will remain in ICE custody until the deportation process is complete. If you or a family member is a detainee who was denied bond or is facing a bond amount you cannot pay, you might qualify for a bond hearing. It’s essential that you retain the services of an experienced immigration attorney to give you the best chance of going free.  At Jude Law LLC, our attorney, Tamika Jude has extensive experience in handling bond hearings for ICE detainees and will fight tirelessly to secure your release.


Bond hearings are crucial because they give you the opportunity to prove to an immigration judge that you are not a flight risk or danger to society. The judge will consider various factors such as your ties to the community, family relationships, employment history, criminal record, and immigration status when determining whether to grant bond or set a lower bond amount. Having a skilled attorney by your side can make all the difference in presenting a strong case for your release.


In addition to representing ICE detainees at bond hearings, our firm also assists clients with securing alternative forms of relief from detention. This can include seeking parole or humanitarian parole, which allows a detainee to be released from custody and remain in the United States while their immigration case is being processed. Our team will work tirelessly to explore every possible avenue for your release and fight for your right to remain with your loved ones.


Remember, time is of the essence when it comes to bond hearings. You only have a limited amount of time to request a bond hearing after being detained by ICE. Don't wait until it's too late.

What Qualifies a Detainee for a Bond Hearing?

If you have no criminal background and qualify for relief from removal proceedings, you might qualify for a reduction in the amount you must pay for your release. The immigration judge will also take other factors into consideration, including any family living in the United States, your ties to an American community, your employment history, your ability to pay a reduced bond, and your likelihood of becoming a flight risk. Having an immigration attorney with experience in detention and bond hearings can make the difference between success and continued detention. Contact Jude Law LLC today. 


When facing immigration proceedings, one of the most pressing concerns for individuals is the cost of release from detention. This cost can often be overwhelming and prevent individuals from pursuing relief from removal proceedings. However, if you have no criminal background and meet certain qualifications, there is a possibility that you may be eligible for a reduction in bond amount.


The immigration judge will carefully consider several factors when determining whether or not to grant a reduced bond amount. These include your family ties within the United States, your connections to an American community, your employment history, and your ability to pay a lower bond amount. Additionally, the judge will also take into account any potential flight risks and whether or not you have legal representation.


Having an experienced immigration attorney by your side during this process can greatly increase your chances of being granted a reduced bond amount. Your attorney will be able to present evidence and arguments to the judge in support of a lower bond, as well as address any potential concerns or issues that may arise.

What Happens During a Detention and Bond Hearing?

Your attorney will submit a motion to the court to request a redetermination of your bond. The court will set a date for the bond hearing. Usually, your attorney, the opposing party’s attorney, and the judge will attend the hearing in person, while you or your loved one will take part in the proceedings by video conferencing software. If you cannot speak and understand English, the court will appoint an interpreter for you. The judge will weigh the evidence and make a decision whether you qualify for a bond reduction that could secure your release. For that reason, it’s essential for you to have an experienced attorney on your side to give you the best chance of freedom. Get help with your case today.


If you or a loved one is facing criminal charges and have been denied bond, don't lose hope. There is still a chance for you to be released from custody while your case is pending. In this situation, it's crucial to understand the process of requesting a redetermination of your bond.


Once your attorney submits a motion to the court for a bond redetermination, the judge will set a date for a bond hearing. This hearing typically involves your attorney, the opposing party's attorney, and the judge in person. However, due to current circumstances and restrictions on in-person interactions, it's likely that you or your loved one will participate in the proceedings through video conferencing software. It's important to note that if English is not your first language, an interpreter will be provided for the hearing. This ensures that you fully understand the proceedings and have a fair chance to present your case.


During the bond hearing, your attorney will argue for a lower bond amount or for release on non-monetary conditions such as electronic monitoring or check-ins with a pre-trial services officer. The judge will take into consideration factors such as your ties to the community, criminal history, and flight risk before making a decision.


If the judge grants a reduced bond or release on non-monetary conditions, it's crucial to carefully follow all of the conditions set forth by the court. Failure to comply could result in being taken back into custody until your trial date.


It's also important to note that if your motion for a reduced bond is denied, you may have the option to file an appeal. Your attorney can advise you on the best course of action in this situation.


In addition to the bond hearing, there may also be other pre-trial hearings that your attorney will attend on your behalf. These hearings could involve discussions about evidence or negotiations for a plea deal with the prosecution.


It's important to communicate openly and honestly with your attorney during this process. They are there to advocate for you and help build the strongest possible defense for your case. Remember, being out on bail does not mean your criminal charges have been dropped or dismissed. It simply means you are able to await trial outside of custody.
