How long does it take a lawyer to ask for a bond hearing

First, is your son over the age of 18?  If yes, then your attorney should have been able to get him a bond hearing within 48 hours of your son’s attorney entering his appearance with the Court.  There might be other reasons for not having had the bond hearing yet, for example the specific charge against your son might be one that has a presumption of bond against him, and so your son’s attorney might have made a decision not to attempt to get him Bond. That being said, in Virginia you have the right to appeal a bond decision all the way to the Virginia Supreme Court.  So usually, which means I am not sure what your particular situation is and so this may not apply, but usually you can get a bond hearing within 48 hours. This answer is given in accordance with the laws of Virginia and may not be applicable in any other state.  It should not be construed as legal advice, as that would require a more thorough analysis of all of the facts involved in a specific case.  If you need further information or assistance, please feel free to contact my office for a consultation.
