Detention / Bond Hearing Attorneys In Los Angeles, California

What Are Detention And Bond Hearings?

If you or a loved one has entered the United States unlawfully, they may come into contact with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. Once issued a Notice to Appear (NTA), ICE decides whether to release them on their recognizance or detain them with or without a specified bond amount. Detainees are required to pay these bonds in full, which can be financially burdensome, often leading to prolonged custody if the amount cannot be paid. In cases where bond is denied or unaffordable, a bond hearing may be an option. Seeking the representation of a skilled immigration attorney is crucial to increase the chances of securing release. Reach out Law Offices of Judith L. Wood today for assistance.

What Qualifies a Detainee for a Bond Hearing?

If you lack a criminal record and are eligible for relief from deportation proceedings, you may qualify for a reduced release fee. The immigration judge will consider various factors, such as family ties in the U.S., community connections, work background, financial capacity to pay a lower bond, and the risk of fleeing. A proficient immigration attorney specializing in detention and bond hearings can significantly impact your outcome—shaping success or further detention. Reach out to one of our empathetic attorneys specializing in detention and bond hearings today.

What Happens During a Detention and Bond Hearing?

Your attorney will file a motion with the court to request a review of your bond. Subsequently, a date will be scheduled for the bond hearing. Typically, the hearing will have your attorney, the opposing counsel, and the judge present in person, while you or your loved one will participate via video conferencing software. If English is not your fluent language, the court will provide an interpreter. The judge will review the evidence to determine if you are eligible for a bond reduction leading to potential release. Therefore, having a skilled attorney by your side is crucial to maximize your chances of gaining freedom. Seek assistance with your case today.
