FAQs

Bail is a form of security provided to a court to secure release from jail until a hearing. The accused agrees to appear for the hearing or risk forfeiting the bail amount and potentially face additional charges for failing to appear, on top of the original crime.

A bail bondsman is a professional who posts bail on behalf of a suspect when the court-set amount is beyond their financial means. We charge a percentage of the bail amount for our services. Unlike banks or insurance companies, bail bond agents specialize in assisting criminal defendants, often facilitating their release within hours.

Collateral refers to assets deposited with the bail bond company as security against the bail amount we post. It's held until the bail bond process concludes and the premium is fully paid. We accept various forms of collateral, including real estate, vehicles, credit cards, stocks, bonds, jewelry, personal credit, and bank accounts.

The paperwork typically requires 10-15 minutes to complete. After the jail receives our bond, the release process generally takes between 2-4 hours.

Consulting an attorney is the most advisable course of action if you believe there's a warrant for your arrest. Your legal representative can investigate warrant records, identify which court issued the warrant, and potentially negotiate with the prosecutor to have the warrant canceled.
