Release from Detention & Bond Hearings

Regain Your Freedom. Reunite with Your Family.
At The Rochester Law Firm , we understand that being detained by immigration authorities is one of the most stressful experiences you and your loved ones can face. Our dedicated legal team is here to help you secure release from detention and guide you through every step of the bond hearing process with urgency, skill, and compassion.

What Is a Bond Hearing?

A bond hearing is your opportunity to ask an immigration judge for release from detention while your immigration case is pending. At this hearing, the judge will decide if you are eligible for release and, if so, set the amount of bond required. The outcome of your bond hearing can mean the difference between waiting for your court date at home with your family or remaining in detention for months.

Who Is Eligible for Release?

Not everyone in immigration detention is eligible for bond. The judge will first determine if you are subject to mandatory detention—usually due to certain criminal convictions or security concerns. If you are not subject to mandatory detention, you may request a bond hearing.

When considering your release, the judge will look at:

Whether you are a flight risk or likely to return for future court hearings
Whether you pose a danger to the community
Your family and community ties in the United States
Your immigration history and compliance with past orders
The strength of your underlying immigration case

How We Help at Every Step

Our experienced attorneys know how to build a strong case for your release. We will:

Assess your eligibility for bond or parole
Gather and present evidence of your good character, family support, employment, and community involvement
Prepare you and your loved ones for the bond hearing, including what to expect and how to provide supporting testimony or letters
Advocate for the lowest possible bond amount before the immigration judge
File appeals or motions for reconsideration if your bond is denied or set too high

We move quickly—often filing bond hearing requests within 24 hours of being retained—because we know every day in detention matters.

What to Expect at Your Bond Hearing

Requesting the Hearing: We file a motion with the immigration court to schedule your bond hearing as soon as possible.
Presenting Your Case: We submit documents and call witnesses to show you are not a flight risk or danger. Family members and community leaders can provide letters or testify on your behalf.
Judge’s Decision: The judge will decide if you can be released and set a bond amount. If granted, your family or friends can pay the bond to secure your release.
Next Steps: Once released, you must attend all future court hearings and comply with any conditions set by the court.
