Two important steps in getting out of jail when you have been charged with crimes are paying bail and appearing in court to be determined innocent or guilty. Bail is typically paid through bail bonds, whether they are cash bonds or surety bail bonds. Here are the answers to frequently asked questions we receive regarding bail bonds.
Q: What are bail bonds?
A: A bail bond is a contract between you and the bail bond agency. It details the commitment of the defendant to appear in court and the commitment of the bail bond agency to pay the full bail amount and guarantee the defendant shows up for all court dates.
Q: What do I pay?
A: With bail bonds, we cover the full amount of bail for you and require you to pay only a percentage of bail. We also collect collateral in the form of valuable assets, such as cars, jewelry, etc., to ensure you appear in court for all court dates. We will return your collateral to you once we have confirmation that you appeared for every court date and you have paid your bail bond amount percentage that is due to us. We can make payment arrangements that work best for you.
Q: What types of charges do you handle?
A: We can offer assistance with any type of charges, including misdemeanors or more severe crimes. We also offer bail bonds of nearly any amount, so you can spend time at home with your family preparing your defense for your trial rather than spending a prolonged amount of time in jail. We just need to be sure that there is no chance that you might flee or avoid showing up in court.
