Question 1

What is a Bail Bond?

Accepted Answer

A bail bond is a contract between multiple parties that secures a defendant’s release from custody by guaranteeing the courts a pre-determined amount of money for non-appearance. A “Bail Bond” is sometimes referred to as a “Surety Bond.” The surety is responsible for paying the courts if the Bond Company defaults on any non-appearances.

Question 2

What happens if the defendant misses his or her court date?

Accepted Answer

The defendant is obligated by the bail agreement to appear at every court date required by the court. Failure to do so results in the forfeiture of the bail bond. If the cosigner fails to act immediately, additional expenses such as tracing fees, court costs, recovery fees, and attorney fees may apply.

Question 3

What information do I need when I call?

Accepted Answer

We’ll need information on both the defendant and the cosigner. For the defendant: jail location, full name, date of birth, bond amount, and charges. For the cosigner: city of residence, employment history, and date of birth. Even if you don’t have all the information, we can guide you through what’s needed.

Question 4

How long will this take?

Accepted Answer

The required paperwork generally takes less than 10 minutes. Once the bond is posted, release times vary depending on the county. Contact us for county-specific information.

Question 5

Will I need collateral?

Accepted Answer

Most bonds do not require collateral. Depending on the bond size, charge, and cosigner’s credit or work history, we can often secure release without significant collateral.

Question 6

Do you take payment plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Depending on your credit history and the bond size, we can create flexible payment plans for nearly any situation. Give us a call for a free consultation.

Question 7

Will I get my money back after my friend or family member is done with court?

Accepted Answer

No. The premium paid on a bail bond is earned once the defendant is released from custody. The bail bond premium works similarly to insurance premiums — it is non-refundable.
