The Bail Process Explained

We believe a key part to the bail bond process is understanding exactly what is happening. We would like to take a minute to familiarize you with the Bail Bond process in order to ensure a smooth experience!

Every day we meet great people that have just experienced a tragedy and need our help instantly! Usually our clients are screaming, crying, hyperventilating and scared when they call. They need honest, compassionate answers right now! Who are we to judge them? By understanding not only what the Bail Bond process is, but how simple and quickly it can be done with a reputable bail agent, you can save yourself a lot of pain and suffering.

Posting of a Bail Bond involves a contractual undertaking guaranteed by a Bail Agent and the individual posting bail (cosigner/indeminator). The Bail Agent guarantees to the court that the defendant will appear in court every time the Judge requires them to.

For this service the Cosigner is charged a percentage of the Bail amount. After being arrested the Cosigner(s) typically call the Bail Agent to arrange for the Bail Bond to be posted. A good Professional Agent can pre-approve the Cosigner(s) within 5 minutes of the initial call. Once a trust has been developed between both parties, the Agent will arrange to meet with the family/friends of the defendant to complete all paperwork. After the Paperwork/receipts are completed and signed, payment made, the Agent will immediately post the Bond for the Defendants release.

Collateral (house, car, boat, cash, jewelry, etc.) is not always needed for an individual to be Bonded from jail. Often an individual can be Bonded from jail on the signature of a family member or a friend. Cosigner’s typically need to have a job and lived at their residence for some time.

There are some things to also consider when selecting the right Bail Agent. First and foremost you should choose a Bail Agent that you trust and who cares about you.

-Ask for copies of all signed contracts and agreements.

-You are paying for a service. A professional Bail Agent should be available for all your questions throughout the entire process.

-Ask for itemized receipt.
