A Loved One Arrested

A Loved One Arrested

Arrested in Austin? Now What?

It is three (3) in the morning, you’re sound asleep when the phone rings. You peep at your phone and don’t recognize the number, so you slam it down and roll over. It rings again, same number, this time you answer angrily to see what the hell is going on that’s so important at this hour. It’s a recorded voice informing you the origination of your call is “Travis County Jail” and the inmate on the phone is your loved one or dear friend and your number is the only one they had memorized.

Now, you’re wide awake, and concerned. You’re tasked with getting this loved one out of jail, but you know nothing of this process, other than maybe a bail bondsman, or a lawyer can help. You grab your laptop and search for ideas, hopefully, this blog appears and you take a chance and click on it.

DO NOT call a bondsman first. In Travis County, it’s very common for lawyers to facilitate jail releases. Lawyers are potentially, the quickest way to obtain a bond. I can go see your loved one immediately, have them fill out a Personal Bond form, walk the paperwork over to Pretrial Services and get a recommendation then head down for a judge’s signature. I can even waive magistration in most cases so your loved one doesn’t have to wait to see a judge. Only a lawyer can waive magistration!

When you hire a bondsman, you’re typically paying a premium of 10% of the bond amount, along with collateral and co-signers, depending on the charge and the amount of the bond. Once that money is paid, it is gone forever. You don’t get it back. When you hire me for a jail release, I will quote you a flat fee up front, and will accept payment over the phone. Further, I will apply any money you pay for the jail release to your subsequent legal fees on the new charge. If I am unable to obtain the jail release for you, then I will let you know that information up front and give you direction from there.

  • "I could not be happier."
    Thank you Will!!! I had charges filed on me and didn’t know were to turn. I contacted Will and he immediately set me mind at ease. He took a lot of time explaining each and every step that he would take to help me. Everything he told me from our first phone call was spot on. I would have paid more than his quote had I known he and his office staff were going to be this great. I highly recommend Will and have done so to my friends and family. I could not be happier.

    Will Mitchell was very genuine when working my case. He went above and beyond to make sure I was treated fairly. He makes great effort to ease your mind by getting to the point. He gives a full run down of all possibilities and how he plans to help your situation. I always felt Will was on my side which provided great comfort. I never felt out of the loop or left wondering. Will Mitchell is a very grounded person with intellect and great understanding of both people and the judicial system. Because of his true compassion and integrity I would recommend this expert lawyer to anybody!!

  • "I can't say enough amazing things about Will Mitchell."
    I can't say enough amazing things about Will Mitchell. My case was dismissed (I didn't think we had a shot) and now just signed a petition for it to be removed for good. I'm typically a little over-amped with my thoughts in general, and he was very responsive and always had calming things to say! I felt I could reach him regarding any little question, and he was always happy to help. I'm still blown away that he was able to get the DWI dismissed, and now off my record. He's a fantastic lawyer, and I'm so happy I chose him!

  • "He’s amazing, choose him."
    Will was the BEST choice that I could’ve made after my DWI. I was so scared, it was my first arrest and I felt extremely overwhelmed when it came to finding a lawyer. I met with large corporations thinking maybe with the resources they would be a better option. At the end of every conversation, I felt that Will had my best interest and was very honest. He is also a very friendly guy, I never felt judged, I was more of his friend. At the end of the day, all the warm feels are nice. But, he also got my case COMPLETELY dropped. No probation & no travel restrictions. He changed my life in a way that no Google review can capture. He’s amazing, choose him.

  • "If needed, Will will be the first lawyer I contact to help me."
    I reached out to Will after finding his name through a Google search. I was not looking for DWI consultation but for unpaid tickets and a suspended license issue. He was very personable on the phone….he listened to me explain what I needed help on. He didn’t rush the call or make me feel like another dollar in his pocket. I was able to resolve my issues because of the information Will provided. If needed, Will will be the first lawyer I contact to help me with my driving issues because he was so helpful in this case.
