Typically, a cosigner can withdraw from a bail bond by demonstrating to the court or bail bond company that they no longer wish to be responsible. This process may involve legal proceedings and requires cooperation from the bail bond company and sometimes the defendant.
Some examples of typical bail amounts for common crimes are: Petty theft: $50 to $1,000. DUI: $500 to $10,000. Assault: $1,000 to $50,000. Murder: $1 million or more.
It is possible to revoke a bail bond if your circumstances or the relationship change, or you have concerns about the defendant's behavior. To revoke a bail bond in California, you will need to contact the bail bond agency and inform them of your decision.
Bail information is considered public record in the State of California, meaning that anyone (not only defendants themselves) can request this info. The details can be accessed via the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system or the Criminal Intake Section.
When bail is exonerated it means you or the bail bondsman gets their deposit back from the court clerk. When the defendant is exonerated, it means the charges are dropped and the defendant is no longer suspected of any wrongdoing. Last but not least, it is possible for bail exonerations to be denied.
You'll need to check in with your bail bond agency to check that you meet certain criteria to revoke your signature. After you have done that, your agency will advise you on the required paperwork through their contract management software and what evidence you need to give in order to be released from your agreement.
A bail bond is exonerated when the legal process/trial has finished. It does not matter whether the defendant is found guilty/innocent or if the case has been dismissed. At this point, the bail bond is discharged. However, any unpaid premium, fees or other amounts charged by the bail service provider are still owed.
EXONERATION LETTER means the letter sent by the Licensor or RadioPro to a collection society or collection management organisation or independent management entity.
You can withdrawl your agreement by calling the bondsman and telling them that you no longer want to be on the bond as you feel the ``criminal'' will not show up to court. You can sign off of the bail but they may arrest your friend.
