CT Bail Bonds: Can A Bondsman Ask the Judge To Lower Bail Amount?
Can a bondsman ask the judge to lower the bail amount in Connecticut?
No. A licensed Connecticut bondsman can post the bail so you can get out of jail. A motion to lower the bail can be requested by an attorney. An experienced attorney can schedule a bail hearing to reduce or modify the current set bail amount. The motion to reduce the bond must be presented to the Judge in advance to the hearing date.
Experienced attorneys are known for requesting bail hearing when they consider their client’s bail is excessive. During the bail hearing both parties the prosecution and the defense team will present their reasons to reduce the bond while the prosecutor would probably present objections to the reduction of bail.
