Miami, Florida Bond Hearings Lawyer
There are important differences between state and federal bond hearings. For example, bonds are not available in state court for offenses involving crimes that carry a life sentence. However, an attorney can request an Arthur hearing to determine if there is enough evidence to hold a defendant without bond. In federal court, however, a defendant can be held without bond if he is believed to be a danger to the community or a flight risk. Additionally, under what has become known as the "Nebbia requirement," a bond may be denied or rejected if the State believes the assets used to post it were derived from criminal activity.
At the criminal defense law office of Clayton R. Kaeiser, we help people accused of crimes in matters related to bonds and bond hearings. Especially in cases involving white collar crime, the bond set may be unreasonable or the risk of flight exaggerated.
We are prepared to assert your rights and fight the claims of prosecutors who try to inflate bonds or even convince the court to deny them. To schedule an appointment to discuss how we can help you, contact bond hearing attorney Clayton R. Kaeiser today.

White Collar Crimes and Bonds
It's not unusual for the State to initiate criminal forfeiture against those accused of a white collar crime. Criminal forfeiture allows the State to seize any assets it believes were acquired through illegal activity. Often, in conjunction with a criminal forfeiture the state will invoke the Nebbia requirement which prohibits the accused from using assets derived from criminal activity to post bond.
As your attorney, Clayton R. Kaeiser challenges prosecutors who attempt to invoke the Nebbia requirement without sufficient proof. If necessary, our office consults accountants in order to establish groundless assumptions on the part of prosecutors to deny bond to our client through circumstantial or hearsay evidence.
