If you have an attorney, I suggest you ask your attorney this question. If you do not, consult an attorney as soon as possible. There are a number of avenues to pursue a bail reduction and you would be required to make a number of factual showings, which would require evidence of assets, liabilities, ties to the community, prior criminal history (or lack thereof), etc.

Speak to your attorney or public defender, that have the details and the facts. We, in cyberspace, do not.

A bail reduction hearing usually takes place within 48 hours of the request and sometimes the next day.
