NEWS
As criminal defense lawyers in Greenville and Upstate South Carolina , we routinely handle bond hearings (or bail hearings). A bond hearing is usually the first thing that occurs when a person is arrested in South Carolina. After an accused is booked at a jail, a bond judge will hear the case and decide whether to release the accused from custody, and if so, under what conditions (making bail).
As Greenville defense attorneys, Joe Watson and Asher Watson frequently appear at preliminary or “probable cause” hearings for our clients. In the State of South Carolina, anyone arrested for felony charges, as well as for misdemeanor charges, has the right to a preliminary hearing. However, if a hearing is not requested within ten days of the arrest, then the right to a preliminary hearing is deemed waived and can no longer be requested or otherwise granted.
