Frequently
Asked Questions
What is a bail bond?
A monetary guarantee
for the court that a defendant will appear each and every time they
are ordered to do so while their case is pending.
How much will bail cost me?
Ten percent of the bail
amount, except for Federal and Immigration cases, which may be as
high as fifteen percent.
Do I need collateral?
Every case is different.
Sometimes a co-signor is sufficient. Many bails are of such a high
amount it only makes sense that collateral is needed.
What can I put up for collateral?
Anything with sufficient
resale value, that you own. Real estate may be put up based on equity.
What if the person I bail out does not appear?
The court will issue
a warrant and notify us of the failure to appear. We will assist you
in either reinstating the bail with the court or surrendering the
person back to custody. If we are unsuccessful, the court will demand
the full amount of the bail.
