Bail Bonds Services can get your loved ones out of jail sooner. This can help your loved one manage their day to day life and avoid accumulating unnecessary jail time which can result in additional charges or an extended stay in prison.
Bail is set in amount higher than what most people can afford. A bail bondsman offers a non-refundable fee that is between five and fifteen percent of the total bail amount in exchange for posting the entire bail amount for your loved one.
This is an ideal alternative because coming up with thousands of dollars in a short amount of time is not feasible for most people. In addition the bail bond company may require that you pledge collateral to secure the bond.
This can be anything from a deed of trust against real property to the pink slip for a car or even cash. If your loved one makes all of their court dates then at the end of the case the bond company will return any collateral that was pledged to them but keep the premium (the fee for the service).
Using a bail bondsman is very quick and easy and they can typically post the full bail amount in just hours after being contacted by phone or in person. Most bondsmen are local and work closely with the courts to get your loved ones out of jail quickly.
This is because they are familiar with the process and what needs to be done to expedite your loved one’s release. They also know the court staff and what needs to be done to ensure that your loved one does not skip out on their court appearances.
If your loved one does not show up for their scheduled court dates then a warrant will be issued for their arrest. It is in the bondsman’s best interest to make sure that your loved one attends all of their court dates because if they do not then the bond will be forfeit and you will owe them the full bail amount.
They will go to great lengths to make sure that your loved one shows up for their court dates. This includes calling them, sending messages and sometimes even physically taking them to the courthouse.
A bail bondsman can help you navigate the process if you have never dealt with the system before. They will explain what is going to happen in detail and how the process works. This will give you peace of mind that your loved one is getting the best care possible while they await their trial. This is a much better alternative to spending time in jail which is not the safest or cleanest place for your loved ones to be.
