Video – Attorney Andrew Dósa Answers The Question: Can A Probation Hold Be Released To Get A Bail Bond?
Video Transcript
Ray Hrdlicka – Host – Attorneys.Media
“So, a lot of calls that I get, as a bail bondsman, start with ‘well, I got a probation violation in addition to the charge that just happened.’ And the probation violation becomes a no-bail situation until they go to court. The jail tells them to call their probation officer or parole officer, and he or she needs to lift this hold. Why would that probation or parole officer even lift that hold because you’ve got somebody committing another crime, or allegedly committing another crime, while they’re on probation?”
Andrew Dósa – Criminal Defense Attorney – Alameda County, CA
“The reality is that the District Attorney’s office will weigh in and argue about the no-bail scenario, typically in favor of it. Then it’s the Judge that will ultimately decide, and most typically the Judges are unsympathetic to someone, who was out on parole or probation, getting a new case. Especially if it’s more serious.”

“Is it parole or probation or does it really matter?”
Andrew Dósa – Criminal Defense Attorney – Alameda County, CA
“Well, it probably really doesn’t matter. As a practical matter, it’s the Judge that will ultimately decide, but the District Attorney will weigh in, in favor of the defendant staying in custody on the no-bail ‘hold’ situation. More likely than not, they are going to stay in.”
