Sure, if you have no money and you simply cannot bail out, there's really no choice. I had a client tell me the attorney "guaranteed" her that her brother would be OR'd. His bail went from $50,000 to $250,000. (Hope they got a new attorney!) My experience is that it’s a big gamble. Sure, if you have no money and you simply cannot bail out, there’s really no choice.

It is like rolling the dice waiting on a judge and hoping for bail reductions.
