A Bail Bond is a kind of assurance or surety bond that ensures the release of a defendant, provided by a bond company through an agent referred to as a Bail Bondsman. Two kinds of Bail Bonds are there: criminal Bail Bonds and civil Bail Bonds. In both cases, the Bondsman assures that the defendant will abide by the decisions of the court under all conditions.
Before you contact a Bail Agent, you need to know the custody location of the defendant. The full name and booking no. of the person is also required. And you should also know the bail amount.
There are basically four ways a person can be released, which are:
1) taking help from a bondsman,
2) paying the full bail amount to the court or jail,
3) using assets for bail, and
4) if the judge decides so.
That might vary from company to company. At our company, we charge up to 15% of the bail amount, and we make it 100% certain that our client is out and happy.
Well, in most instances, collateral is not required. But there are instances where the amount is a substantial one; in such cases, we might think of backing up the bond with collateral.
