The Importance of Being Granted Bail After an Arrest

September 4, 2014

A Grand Rapids criminal law attorney will help a client understand the importance of being released on bail.

WHY GETTING OUT OF JAIL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IS IMPORTANT

The first goal of a Grand Rapids criminal lawyer will be to get you released from jail. If you are released, you will be able to return to your daily life and freedoms as preparation is made for the criminal defense. While in jail, there is little wiggle room for a plea bargain, specifically when the sentence you receive is close to the amount of time you’ve already spent in jail.

GETTING OUT OF JAIL WILL HELP THE ATTORNEY PLAN A DEFENSE

Being in jail is a hindrance because:

1) It will take time for the lawyer to continually go back and forth to the jail to consult with you.

2) There is a profound absence of privacy in jail even in rooms that are meant for the attorney and client.

3) Going over evidence can be uncomfortable in jail, especially if it is on audio or video.

4) You cannot call your attorney whenever it is necessary.

5) In jail, there is the possibility that an informant will use information that was meant to be shared between the attorney and client to help him or herself.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had Melissa Freeman as my lawyer and all I can say is that she is absolutely phenomenal!  She is a great lawyer! She is also always available and willing to answer any questions or concerns you may have. She is caring, kind and just an exceptional human being. She always made sure to explain things and made sure I understood what direction our case was going and was great at keeping me calm because our case, as with any case, was very stressful for our family. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. She saved my life in a sense and I will remain forever grateful for her.
