What is a Bail Hearing? By New Hampshire DWI Attorney Mark Stevens 1.603.893.0074

When you are accused of a crime, bail is set.  Bail amounts and conditions are set for two primary reasons: one is to make sure you show up at court and the other is to make sure you're not a danger to yourself or any one else.  If you or someone you know has an arraignment in court coming up  contacting a NH criminal defense lawyer to help you make the right decisions is imperative. The first chance at an opportunity to receive a reduction in bail is at the arraignment, the next is at a bail hearing! It is inadvisable to try to  handle matters like these on your own, contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer who practices regularly in the court you're headed to.  Call Attorney Mark Stevens if you would like to discuss a possible reduction in bail at 1-603-893-0074 today for a free consultation and initial case evaluation, or visit us at ByeByeDWI.com or NHCrime.com. Fight for your freedom! Call Mark Stevens Today, He'll know what to do! 

 Two Key Factors in Determining Bail Reduction:

1. FLIGHT RISK 

•  Whether the accused is a person who is likely to flee the jurisdiction in order to avoid prosecution and conviction. 

• In court the flight risk factor is used when they decide whether or not to grant bail or surety bond to an individual, and it is an important factor is setting the bond amount. Courts can decide to set higher bail if the defendant has a high risk of flight.

2. LEVEL OF THREAT INDIVIDUAL PRESENTS TO THE SAFETY OF THE COMMUNITY

• A person's level of danger, violence, and general risk to the safety of the community is the second factor considered. in New Hampshire individuals charged with 1st Degree Murder are held until trial and are never released on bail. First Offense DWI charges, on the other hand, usually call for personal recognizance bail.

Big Changes to NH DWI Effective New Years Eve: Its More Important Than Ever To Lawyer Up & Shut Up

NH DWI Laws. The holidays are a busy time of the year and most people are not thinking about DWI checkpoints or police saturation patrols especially those out celebrating and enjoying the seasons' festivities with their loved ones and family. 


The NH Police announced their statewide efforts to once again crack down on drunk drivers and those not obeying the laws from the Maine state line to the Massachusetts border on December 14th and early December 15th. They also announced that their tactics this weekend would be much different than their typical DWI checkpoints. They will not have designated 'checkpoint' areas for stopping  drivers.   Local and state police will be out and heavily patrolling:  I-95, Routes 101, and  Route 286 and 1A specifically monitoring ALL drivers on the roads Friday night and early Saturday morning. 

 If you live around the NH Seacoast- or simply plan on being 'out and about' in Portsmouth, Exeter, Rochester, Hampton Beach, Seabrook, or Brentwood areas (December 14 and 15th) the cops are looking for people to pull over and they don't need a sobriety checkpoint to do it this weekend! 

Call to Action:

 If you get hassled this weekend and the cops want to ask you questions, remember Lawyer Up & Shut up- then call DWI & Criminal Defense Attorney Mark Stevens at  1.603.893.0074   (24/7)    If you have problems with the cops, call Mark Stevens. He'll know what to do.
