Being charged with a federal crime can be a scary thought, however, many don’t know that within three days of your arrest, you have the right to appear before a judge, also known as, a federal detention hearing. A federal detention hearing allows you to let the judge know that you are no danger to the community despite the charges filed against you. You will also have a better sense of whether there is probable cause for said charges and if there is a chance you may be released while you await your trial.
Your trusted lawyer will be allowed to present any evidence that can persuade the court you should be released on bond and once the judge receives this evidence and is convinced that you are not a flight risk or a danger to the community, he/she will approve your bail and set your next court date.
