Bail Reduction Motions in New Jersey

A bail reduction motion can be filed by an experienced criminal defense lawyer pursuant to Rule 3:26-2(d). In New Jersey, it is required that the bail be reviewed the day after a person has been arrested and bail has been set. However, this review is not a bail reduction motion. A bail reduction motion is filed by defense counsel in an attempt to convince the court that the bail should be lowered based on the circumstances of the case. Some of the most important factors to be considered by the court on a bail reduction motion include the following:

  • The nature and degree of the charges
  • The defendant’s prior record (if any)
  • The defendant’s reputation in the community
  • The defendant’s connections to the community, including any property ownership, family ties, employment, etc.
  • The defendant’s likelihood and ability to flee if released on bail

A bail reduction motion, pursuant to the rule, must be heard within seven (7) days. The hearing will be held before a Superior Court judge in the county in which the case is venued. The judge will consider the applicable bail guidelines, the current bail amount that has been set, and the above factors when deciding whether to reduce the bail. In some cases, the State (the county prosecutor) and the defense can agree upon a lower bail amount, and the judge will typically allow this reduction if both parties consent to the new bail amount.
