text: bond conditioning hearing? what is a bond conditioning hearing? my boyfriend has a "bond conditioning hearing" according to his bondsman.  bondsman says it's no big deal but do we need a lawyer or what.  i've never heard of the this before and he didn't have one on his last bond (which was thru same comp. and he satisfied the conditions of the that bond and case is closed).  bondsman said he just needs to show up.  asked bondsman if there was a chance he would be arrested during his appearance and said no.  all conditions of the bond are being met ie: weekly calls, payments, paperwork etc.   what is this hearing and what should he expect? i would suggest consulting your attorney.  generally a bond hearing of this nature is to modify release conditions.  this can include the additiion of more restrictions, electronic monitoring, curfew, etc.  i certain instances, however, the hearing may result in the bond being pulled and the defendant placed in custody.  this generally occurs if the defendant has new charges since the bond originated.  this is usually a reason to be held without bond in most states.  it is, however, discretionary.    ask your boyfriend if this is the situation. if there new charges pending besides the case on bond i strongly urge you to consult your attorney.  for your information, my knowledge on this subject is a result of working as a licensed bail bond agent.  i have been in court for such hearing on many occassions.  good luck.
