FAQs

Bail is a financial guarantee provided to the court to secure an individual's release from jail pending a hearing. By posting bail, the accused agrees to appear in court as required. Failure to do so may result in forfeiture of the bail amount and potential additional charges for not appearing, in addition to the original alleged offense.

A bail bondsman is a professional who posts bail on behalf of defendants when they cannot afford the full amount set by the court. We charge a fee, which is a percentage of the total bail amount, for our services. Unlike traditional financial institutions, bail bond agents specialize in assisting individuals facing criminal charges, often facilitating their release from custody within hours.

Collateral refers to assets provided to the bail bond company as security against the bail amount we post. These assets are held until the conclusion of the bail bond process and full payment of the premium. We accept various forms of collateral, including but not limited to real estate, vehicles, credit cards, stocks, bonds, jewelry, personal credit, and bank accounts.

The process of completing the necessary paperwork typically takes between 10 to 15 minutes. Once we submit the bond to the jail, the release process generally takes approximately 2 to 4 hours.

The most prudent course of action when you believe there's a warrant for your arrest is to consult with an attorney. Your legal counsel can investigate warrant records, determine which court issued the warrant, and potentially negotiate with the prosecutor to have the warrant canceled or resolved.
