A: The easy answer is yes but that can mean you go back into jail which I am sure what you do not want. In some places, a Judge will allow a bond to be turned over to an attorney prior to the case being completed. It is a case by case basis and not all judges will allow it. If you owe any money to the court in that county, they normally will take their money first as well.

Juan Ooink agrees with this answer

A: What? Bond lifted? Why would you want a bond lifted? If the bond is lifted, that means you will be taken into custody and remain in custody until your case is resolved. Some attorneys will be able to work from the bond and a payment plan but you need to call around and get quotes. The sooner you hire an attorney the better.
