There are numerous different types of bonds and reasons for bonds.

The most common is a bond set for a failure to appear.

Bonds set after a defendant has failed to appear must impose, at a minimum, any conditions previously recommended in any other order for arrest.

If no previous conditions, the bond should either be doubled, or set as a secured bond of at least 00.

Prior to arrest, contact a local Greensboro top rated defense attorney, as they may be able to simply recall the order for arrest, and prevent a bond every being set.
