The Judge may consider the following factors in setting a bond amount:

• Your work record
• Your family ties and ties to the community
• How long you have lived in the community
• Prior criminal history
• Whether you have been on bond before and whether you complied
• Whether you have other outstanding bonds
• The severity of the charges you are accused of
• Your ability to pay

These factors are typically presented in a formal bond reduction hearing in front of your assigned Judge.
