If you or your loved one is in custody, a bail bond is a document presented to the court to secure the release of a defendant and ensure their appearance at all required court hearings.
You should always consult with an attorney when dealing with legal matters that affect your well-being.
Some form of collateral may be required to secure the guarantee of the bail bond and that the person you signed for will appear in court. This can be anything of value, such as cash, property, art, or jewelry. All collateral is returned once the case against the defendant is completed.
If a defendant fails to appear in court, the court issues a bench warrant for that person’s arrest, and they are considered a fugitive. We then send our bail agents out to look for the fugitive, as we are authorized by the court to arrest the individual in any state.
A judge sets the defendant’s bail amount considering the following:
- Nature and seriousness of the charges
- The weight of the evidence
- Defendant’s character and history
- Is the defendant a flight risk?
- Depending on the county, judges may use a bail schedule based on a specific crime alleged to have been committed.
Only 10% of your full bail is required for release. You’re facing troubling times right now, so we’ll post the bail bond for you! Typically, a premium charge of 10% of the full bail amount is all that is required.
You can pay with:
- Cash
- Credit Card
- Online payment via our secure servers
- Paypal (depending on the agent and location)
Additional requirements may include:
- Physical Collateral
- The signing of a bail bond agreement (contract)
- Signature of a responsible indemnity or cosigner that will pay the full amount of the bail in the event that the defendant fails to appear in court
Paperwork through a bail agent usually takes less than an hour to complete. Release times, however, vary from county jail to county jail and could take anywhere between 30 minutes and 12 hours. Please note that you may have to wait for the defendant to be booked into jail prior to issuing the bond.
