Hire a lawyer to ask for a reduction. The lawyer will need a lot of personal information about him and his work and criminal history in order to try to get the bond reduced. (Or, the lawyer might work out the case in an acceptable manner making the necessity of a bond reduction unnecessary.)

You need to hire an attorney to fast track this in front of a judge or get it dismissed.

The bond sounds very high and probably "excessive" for the crime he's charged with. He has a right to a bond hearing very soon after his arrest and probably should have gotten an attorney, court-appointed or otherwise, to handle these matters.
