Q: Can I hire a lawyer for a Pinellas County bond motion?
A: Yes and no. Pinellas County has a court rule in place which requires an attorney to remain on the case from beginning to end. This means that the judges do not allow attorney’s to appear in court on behalf of a client for only a bond motion or motion to reduce bond. This local court rule requires attorneys to be fully retained to handle the entire case before they can argue a motion for bond in court.
