Nebbia Hold (Bail Source)
Statewide coverage. 24/7 Service. Immediate Release Processing.
Quick Answer
A Nebbia Hold is a court requirement to prove that bail funds come from legitimate sources before a defendant can be released. We prepare a financial proffer packet to satisfy the prosecutor and lift this hold quickly.
A 'Nebbia Hold' (or Bail Source Hearing) is applied when the court suspects bail money may come from illegal activities (e.g., drug trafficking or fraud). The defendant cannot be released—even if bond is posted—until the source of the premiums and collateral is proven to be legitimate. We specialize in preparing the 'Nebbia Proffer' packet to satisfy the state attorney and lift the hold fast.
