Can I get bail on federal drug trafficking charges?
Federal courts call bail “pretrial release.” Release depends on the charges, criminal history, alleged drug quantity, firearm allegations, ties to the community, and the government’s claim that you present a flight risk or danger to the public.
A lawyer should prepare for the detention hearing immediately. Counsel may present evidence about employment, family ties, residence, treatment, supervision, travel restrictions, or other conditions that address the court’s concerns. Do not assume release will happen automatically in a federal trafficking case.
