Glendale City Court Questions
Do I post bail at Glendale City Court?
No. Bail for anyone in Maricopa County custody is posted at the 4th Avenue Jail Bond and Fine Room, 201 S 4th Avenue, Phoenix. City misdemeanor arrestees may be bonded at the city holding facility. The court receives the bond with the case file.
What happens if I miss a court date at Glendale City Court?
The court issues a bench warrant and begins forfeiture of any bond. Call your attorney and call us immediately. A walk-through bond or a motion to quash the warrant can often resolve it before an arrest.
Can bail be lowered after it is set?
Yes. A defense attorney can file a motion to modify release conditions, and the judge can change the amount or conditions. If bail is reduced before we post, your premium is based on the lower amount.
What happens at an initial appearance in Maricopa County?
Within 24 hours of arrest, the defendant appears before a judicial officer, who informs them of the charges, confirms identity and address, considers the state's and defense's input, and sets release conditions: own recognizance, pretrial services, an unsecured bond, a secured appearance bond that can be posted in cash or by a bail agent, or a cash-only bond. Later court dates are also set.
