We offer a bail bond service here at Alpha Bonding. This service is designed to help people who may otherwise not be able to afford the bail that has been set for them or their family member following an arrest. If your loved one has recently been arrested and you haven’t encountered this situation before, you may have questions about how a bail bond service works. Here are a few of the most frequently asked questions we get about bail bonds.
- How do bail bonds work? When covering the cost of bail on your own is financially unfeasible, a bail bond service covers this cost. In exchange, the defendant pays a small portion of the bail to the bonding agency, allowing the defendant to save money and put themselves under less financial strain.
- Is the payment to the bond agency refundable? If you pay the entire cost of bail to the courts directly, you can get a refund if you show up to all your court appearances. The payment towards a bond agency is non-refundable because it is payment for their services that are allowing you to avoid paying the full cost of bail.
- How do I qualify for a bail bond service? When applying for a bail bond service, you will need to fill out an application with a lot of different information, including financial history, criminal background, and more. With that information, the bond agency will decide whether they are willing to cover the cost of your bail. From there, they will get you out of jail as soon as possible.
