In
some cases, arrangements can be made directly with Pretrial Services to
allow release from jail. In other cases, the court's approval may
be required before a release through Pretrial Services will be
authorized. In either case, Utah criminal attorney Stephen Howard
can assist you in the process of working with Pretrial Services or can
represent you at the warrant hearing with the court to determine
whether you should be allowed a release through Pretrial Services.
In Utah criminal cases, you have a number of options available
for securing a release from jail or recall of a bench warrant. In
Salt Lake County, you have the option of seeking a release through Salt
Lake County Pretrial services. This option may save you thousands
of dollars in bail bond fees and in some cases may result in your
release from jail even before seeing a judge for a
bench warrant hearing.
In cases where a judge is not willing to order an "
own recognizance"
release, the court may still be willing to consider a release through
Pretrial Services. In some cases, a Pretrial Servcies
release may come with certain court-ordered conditions. Depending
on the type of case and the defendant's history, these conditions may
include drug testing, treatment, regular check-in with Pretrial
Services, or other conditions determined to be appropriate by the
court. In some cases, the conditions will be minimal. In
other more serious cases, the conditions imposed for a Pretrial
Services release may be burdensome. Even so, many people would
prefer these conditions over the thousands of dollars that it may cost
to bail out.
