Understanding Personal Recognizance Bonds: Key Insights Explained
Have you or a loved one recently been arrested and are now having to post bail, but simply can’t come up with that kind of cash? I’m Tahlequah criminal defense attorney Aaron Grubb at Wirth Law Group. In this video, we’re going to talk about what a personal recognizance bond is.
A personal recognizance bond is an agreement you make with the court, stating that you will appear for your court dates of your own free will, without having to put up any money. However, obtaining a personal recognizance bond can be more challenging than simply paying a cash bond.
Factors Influencing the Court’s Decision
Several crucial factors influence the court’s decision on whether to grant a personal recognizance bond. One key factor is your strong community ties. Being an active member of the community and giving back can significantly impact the court’s perception of you.
Additionally, having a clean criminal record is vital. Courts are more likely to grant personal recognizance bonds to individuals who demonstrate that they are stand-up citizens, thus showing that they are trustworthy enough to be released without needing to post money.
