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 would highly recommend Will as he will fight for you."
    Will got my DWI charge dismissed in lieu of a reduced charge of obstruction of highway passage. I did test over .08 so I chose not to go to trial but there were a few other factors with my case compelling the prosecution to lower my penalties and probation to 15mo; at which time my obstruction charge will also be dismissed. I was able to take care of all my classes, evals, and community service prior to ever seeing the judge so I think that helped my case. Will and Olivia were eager to help me understand what was happening and answered all my calls and emails very promptly. I would highly recommend Will as he will fight for you.

    Will has saved my life! I was moving to Virginia on a probation transfer to be with my fiancé and because of Will I was able to make it happen, he responded to all my calls when I was freaking out and assured me exactly what he could do which made me calm plus he did exactly what he said he would, you don’t understand how much I appreciate you, Will!

    Olivia and Will are amazing to work with! They make the process completely the easiest it can be during a time of stress and worry. Will knows the laws and his overall industry well. Will keeps pushing for his desired ruling, and will make sure that he has done everything in his power to make sure you get the best ruling possible. Olivia makes sure you are aware of all the events that are needed during your trial process and makes sure you don’t miss out on any necessary paperwork, dates, classes, etc. — she and Will want to see you come out on the other end as winning as possible. They both care for their clients and I thank them for all they have done to make sure this process has been one of LESS STRESS. Thank you Will and Olivia, you two are an amazing team and force — I highly recommend your services to any full-time working professional, thank you for all you did to see me get through this detrimental process.
