Bail bonding can be a complex process to understand. On this page, we simplify it and help you find out what you need to know before starting.
In order to get an individual released from jail, money or another form of property must be submitted to the courts. This is done to make sure that the individual will return for trial or they will forfeit the bail.
Bail agents place a bond with the courts for individuals who cannot post bail themselves. Bail agents collect a fee and sometimes collateral for posting bail. After collecting fees, bail agents ensure the individual makes it to their scheduled court appearances.
Many judicial professionals will attest that individuals will generally be better disposed to their cases if they post bail. Also, most people would rather continue their lives while waiting for court appearances.
A surety bond, posted by a licensed surety bail bond agent with the courts, guarantees a defendant’s appearance at trial.
