Greensboro Defense Attorney creates consent bonds to get clients out of jail, but must be careful of mistakes.
Consent bonds are used when an individual has been charged, but not served with the warrant. Rather than face a magistrate judge who can set high bonds, an attorney can get a pre-set bond, called a “consent bond.”
Skilled trial attorneys, especially the top Greensboro felony lawyers, use this tool to keep their clients out of Greensboro’s jail.
When granted a consent bond, however, be aware that even though the clerk’s office must send an original to the jail, the jail will not hold a copy if the client is not already in custody. Original copies must be kept for both the clerk and the client if they are going to turn themselves in at a later date.
Although difficult to obtain, consent bonds can save stress, heartache, and days in jail.
As such, we recommend them over bond motions and bail bondsman. If you need a consent bond, contact the top trial attorneys at Garrett, Walker, Aycoth and Olson today!
