Get Your Bond Reduced

The Martinez Law Firm, led by Houston attorney Herman Martinez — a board-certified DWI defense attorney specialist and former Harris County Chief Prosecutor — has defended thousands of clients across Texas.

Getting a bond reduction is something that a lot of people eager to bond their loved ones out of jail do not think about.  In a lot of instances, a court will initially set a very high amount in a court case. For example, in a theft case where the value of the alleged property that was stolen is one hundred thousand ($100,000) the court will routinely double that amount and set the bond at two hundred thousand ($200,000). However, if you hire a lawyer before raising the money to bond the person out of jail the lawyer should be able to go to the court and have the bond reduced to a more reasonable amount. In the above scenario, a lawyer would be able to save you thousands of dollars when making a bond. Typically, a bonding company will charge you a 10% fee for bonding someone out of jail. The two hundred thousand dollar bond will cost you twenty thousand dollars and the one hundred thousand dollar bond will cost you ten thousand dollars.
