What is a Bail Bond and What Will it Cost?
Bail is a set amount of money meant to afford freedom to a defendant after they’ve been charged with a crime and until the trial concludes. It is the equivalent of the court trusting that you will not run after being arrested or skip bail – this means attending each subsequent court date. Consequentially, if a defendant does not appear in court after making bail, they both forfeit the bail to the court and, in place of making a plea or defense, are considered guilty by default. In which case, there is a warrant out for you, and both the police and bail bondsman begin looking for you.
As setting bail is proof that the court trusts you will make your court dates and are not a threat to any person or community, a bail bondsman posts bonds because s/he believes in the defendant. Guilt and innocence are irrelevant to bail bondsmen. We simply believe you deserve the chance to prepare for your trial at home, among friends and family and legal counsel, and we believe in you. All you do is pay a small fee – a small percentage of the bail itself – and we post the rest to the court.
