How
it works
In most states, a "bail bond agent" writes
something like a "check" to the court, to the sheriff's office,
or to the jail's "release window" for the entire amount of the
bail amount so the defendant can get out of jail. The cost of this process
is only a small part of the bond (usually about 10% of each bond, or 15%
of a federal bond). There are also special charges for immigration bonds.(Call
for Immigration Rates) However, if the defendant does not show up for
court, the "bail bond agency" is then responsible for paying
the entire amount of the defendant's bond to the court. That is why we
often request collateral to assure that the defendant will show up for
court.
How Long Will it Take?
Our agents are quick and efficient,
utilizing 'state-of-art' computer equipment and services to process all
applications and credit cards, delivering the necessary documents to get
your friends and family released as quickly as possible. Then, it is up
to the jail, or release center to take these documents (Power of Attorney)
and release the defendant. How long it takes to release a defendant is
often determined by how efficient the corrections officers are, and how
many other people have been arrested before your friend or family member.
Friday, Saturday, Sunday nights and holidays are usually very busy. Being
realistic, in some counties it take between four to 10 hours after the
"bail bond agent" has delivered the documents to the release
center. Therefore, calling us as soon as possible with the information
will help the defendant get out of jail as quickly as possible.
Follow
Up
After the defendants are released from jail they are required
to come in to our office within 24 hours to sign documentation and
provide current contact information. This will help ensure court dates
and changes will be mailed and received in a timely manner. Defendants
are also required to contact our office within 24 hours if they have new
contact information or address changes. Likewise, if the defendant plans
on traveling out of town while out on bond they must notify us ahead of
time.
