No one plans on getting arrested. However, if it happens to you or a loved one, it’s important to understand how the bail bonds process works.
After an arrest, the next step is for a judge to set bail. Bail effectively serves as an “insurance policy” to ensure the defendant appears in court for all required proceedings.
Because bail is often an unexpected expense, many defendants can’t afford to pay it in full. As a result, they turn to a bail bonds company to cover a portion of the total bail. Bail bond companies charge a non-refundable fee — a percentage of the bail amount, as determined by law — to post bail and secure the defendant’s release from jail.
If you’re in this situation, and struggling to cover the cost of bail for a friend or family member, we offer flexible payment plans tailored to meet your needs.
