Fort Worth Jail Release Lawyer

To speed up the process of getting your loved one released from jail after an arrest, hire a Fort Worth jail release attorney.

When your loved one is arrested and taken to jail, the situation can be especially traumatic for the family. Regardless of the offense for which your loved one has been arrested, he or she won’t be able to truly begin building a defense until he or she is safely back home.

You’ll worry about your loved one’s safety and about how this situation is impacting him or her emotionally, and you’re likely worried about how the arrest could impact your loved one’s employment situation, especially if he or she has already been convicted of a crime in the past.

Getting your loved one out of jail is your priority, and a Fort Worth jail release lawyer from our firm can help. We know how to speed up the release process, and we can often fight to get your loved one’s bail amount lowered.

How Does an Attorney Help with Jail Release in Fort Worth?

Most of the time, the person who has been arrested isn’t the one arranging for a jail release. The family members must figure out how to get their loved one out of jail as quickly as possible, and they may know next to nothing about the jail release process.

The first step to getting your loved one released is to locate the jail he or she is being held in. We can help you locate your loved one through an inmate search or by making calls to the right people using our many legal connections.

What’s the Booking Process Like?

There are many steps your loved one will have to take on the way to jail release in Fort Worth. The good news is that, when you hire an attorney from our office, we can speed up the process and can often get your loved one’s bond amount lowered. This will make it easier to pay it and get your loved one out.

The following is a basic breakdown of what your loved one will face from booking to release:

• Arrested people are taken to the central booking area, where they will be documented, fingerprinted, searched, and photographed, and their belongings will be inventoried.
• They are then taken to a holding cell before moving to the residential area of the jail.
• Then comes an initial hearing “without unnecessary delay,” where the judge reviews the charges against the accused and sets a bail amount. Sometimes, this can take only hours, but on weekends, it could take days.
• Finally, your loved one is released, either on a personal bond or a cash bond. With a lower bail amount, it’s easier to get your loved one out of jail.
