A: Your brother-in-law's attorney should be doing everything to advocate in his best interest. This would include going to see him in jail, if necessary, as well as filing motions in order to get him out of jail - such as motions to reduce bond or to ask for a bond hearing. Feel free to give me a call to discuss your brother-in-law's case and some options he may have. I would be happy to speak to you.
