Detention / Bond Hearing Attorney In Dallas, Texas
What Are Detention And Bond Hearings?
If you or a loved one has entered the United States without legal authorization, you may come into contact with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). After issuing a Notice to Appear (NTA), ICE decides whether to release the individual on their own recognizance or to detain them — sometimes with, and sometimes without, a set bond amount.
Because ICE bonds must be paid in full, many detainees and their families struggle to raise the necessary funds. If the full amount cannot be paid, the individual will remain in ICE custody until their immigration case or deportation process is resolved. If you or a family member has been denied bond or given a bond amount that is unaffordable, you may qualify for a bond hearing before an immigration judge. This hearing provides an opportunity to request release while your immigration case continues.
Pedro A. Lopez, based in Dallas, Texas, and serving clients nationwide, helps individuals and families navigate bond hearings and detention-related matters. He works to present the strongest possible case for release so you or your loved one can return home while awaiting further proceedings. If you or a family member is currently detained by ICE, contact López Onna Abogado de Inmigración today to discuss your options and take the first step toward freedom.

What Qualifies a Detainee for a Bond Hearing?
If you have no criminal record and qualify for relief from removal proceedings, you may be eligible for a reduction in your bond amount. When deciding whether to lower the bond or grant release, an immigration judge will consider several factors — including your family ties in the United States, your connections to the community, your employment history, your ability to pay, and whether you pose any risk of flight.
Having a dedicated immigration attorney to represent you during a detention or bond hearing can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.

What Happens During a Detention and Bond Hearing?
To request a bond redetermination, your attorney must file a motion with the immigration court. Once the motion is received, the court will schedule a bond hearing. Typically, Pedro A. Lopez and the government attorney appear before the immigration judge in person, while you or your detained loved one may participate remotely through a secure video conference system.
If you are not fluent in English, the court will provide a qualified interpreter at no cost to you. During the hearing, the judge reviews all available evidence and determines whether you qualify for a bond reduction or release from custody.
Because these hearings are time-sensitive and require strong supporting documentation, it’s important to have an attorney who understands how to present your case clearly and effectively. Pedro A. Lopez, based in Dallas, Texas, and serving clients nationwide, represents individuals in detention and bond hearings, helping them pursue release and reunite with their families as quickly as possible. If you or someone you love is in ICE custody, don’t wait to take action. Contact López Onna Abogado de Inmigración today for help with your case.
