As long as another bail is set, there are plenty of bondsmen who you can hire to post a bond. ?But, in Court, look out for the crime bail crime two year prison enhancement.

Once your bail has been set for the second offense, you can get another bond.

You can and should get another bond. However, the first bond will in all likelihood be revoked since I'm sure that it was a condition of your first bond that you not be arrested. Typically, the Judge will revoke the first bond and increase the amount, depending, of course, upon what you are accused of doing.

If your original bond states that you not be charged with additional charges, then your first bond may be revoked due to getting the new felony.

Perhaps, but it depends on the circumstances. If the new charge would imply a violation of the conditions of the last bond, or is a similar charge, the chances of a bond are significantly reduced. . If you are in Michigan call with details and for an appointment.

Yes, assuming the second charge is "bail-able." But there is an additional enhancement for committing an offense while out on bail on another offense, and if convicted of both the court must sentence consecutively.

Don't see why not. It will be up to the bonding company and whether you can afford the premium on the new bond.
