What To Expect

Once arrested, you will likely appear before a judge.  The judge will determine whether or not to release you until your trial is set. If the judge decides to grant you release, they will "set bail" to ensure you show up for your trial. If you do not have the funds readily available to make bail, a bail bond agent can assist you. It is critical to find a bail bond service that you can trust.

Bail Timeline

There is a general timeline for the process of obtaining bail, depending on the severity of your case. With our assistance, you can be connected to a reputable bail bonds service near you at any time to get the ball rolling. The purpose of a bail timeline is to be able to uniformly apply a fixed amount one must pay before they can be released from custody prior to their appearance in court.  Be aware, not all states adopt a uniform bail timeline.

Bail Bond Fees

Bail is a defined fee that allows you to be released from jail before your trial date with the understanding that you will attend your court proceedings. A bail bond covers the bail amount so that you don't have to pay the total cost. These bonds are either provided by a professional bail agent or yourself.

A bail bond has an associated fee related to the total cost of bail and is commonly calculated at 10 to 20 percent of the total bail amount. A bondsman pays the bail in total and the collateral provided covers the bail amount. Collateral items can be personal possessions such as houses, stocks, deeds, automobiles, and other possessions. Once the individual out on bail arrives for trial, collateral is then returned.
