Information regarding Illinois being a no bail state and not being able to go before a judge for over 30 days is normal
Asked in Roselle, IL | December 1, 2025I am trying to find someone to assist my fiance's son. He was arrested. We have been unable to talk to him for more than a minute since his arrest. We believe it is a domestic violence situation according to the jail website. Our issue here has to do with how the bail system currently works in Illinois and have been unable to get any answers.The county informed us that Illinois is a no bail state and that he will not be going before a judge for at least a month. Would like to know if this is normal? He will eventually have to go with a public defender, but I am attempting to find out if hiring an attorney to assist with the present situation would help in any way. Could an attorney help to see if he would be able to be released any sooner or even with an attorney he would have to wait until the court date they have currently set. Any knowledge would be appreciated. Not sure which direction to go. Thank you!!
