When a Person Gets Arrested & Booked for a serious crime They must wait in jail until a bail hearing, where a judge will set the bail amount If the person cannot afford bail, they must wait in jail until their court date

But there’s a better option... HIRE A BAIL AGENT!

When contacting a Bail agent have as much information as possible

Always Available Bail Agents are usually on call 24/7 and are likely to answer your call regardless of the time of day

What do I pay? Bail agents usually charge between 10%- 15% of the total bail amount You do not get this money back

In some cases you may be asked to sign over collateral to the bail agent Collateral is property like a house, car, art or jewelry This helps to guarantee that the defendant appears in court What About Collateral?

The Bail Agent will post the bond once the premium has been paid and any collateral has been signed over

Now, The defendant is released This can take a short time or several hours, depending on how crowded the jail is

After Being Released The defendant must be present for any and all court proceedings They must also meet any other conditions as set by the bail agent

if a defendant fails to appear in court The bail agent must pay the full bail amount to the court The bail agent will then locate the defendant and most likely return them to jail (or if bail conditions are otherwise violated)

IF the defendant appears in court Then there should be nothing to worry about! (and all other bail conditions are fulfilled)

The bond is exonerated (or completed) when the trial is over
