A bail bond is a financial agreement between one party and a bail bondsman in order to release another party from jail. The first party will pay a percentage of the total bail amount, then the jailed party is released.
There are two agreements when dealing with bail bonds. The first agreement is between the jailed party and the bail bondsman that states the jailed party will attend their court date after being released. The second agreement is between the court and the bail bondsman that states if the jailed party misses the court date, the bail bondsman must pay the remaining percentage of the bail amount.
Most bail bond companies charge 10% of the total bail amount. However, everyone’s situation is different. We offer a variety of payment plans and payment methods including a $0 down payment for qualified clients.
If you miss your court date, the court will issue an arrest warrant and the bail bondsman has to pay the remainder of the bail amount. Most bondsman will hire a bounty hunter or place an ad for someone to collect you and deliver you to the court in order to get back the money they paid.
