Frequently Asked Questions
Navigating the legal system can be overwhelming. We're here to provide clarity.
What are bail bonds?
A bail bond is a contractual undertaking guaranteed by a bail agency and the indemnitor — usually a relative or close friend. It is a financial guarantee to the court that the defendant will appear in court every time the court orders them to be there.
How does it work?
The bail agent charges from 8 to 10 percent of the full bail amount. Depending on your circumstances, the agency may require collateral, the signing of a bail bond, or both. In some cases, the defendant can be released thanks to the signature of a responsible indemnitor.
