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.
