Not surprisingly, this is the most common question clients ask. Although certain offenses do have mandatory jail time requirements, generally you will not have to go back to jail unless you choose to sit out your case. If you have been arrested for a criminal offense and are out on bond, you must comply with your conditions of bond to avoid going back to jail. In general, bond conditions commonly include:
- Checking in with your bonding company or pre-trial release;
- Going to your court dates;
- No new arrests or offenses;
- Not using drugs or alcohol;
- Staying away from certain parties related to your case; or
- Having an alcohol breath-testing machine installed in your vehicle
It is important to note, this is not an all-inclusive list of bond conditions and conditions may vary from case to case. However, if you do not know what your bond conditions are, contact Haddad Law Firm today to discuss your case before it’s too late!
