One of the quickest ways to get your loved one out of jail quickly is by posting bail online. ASAP Bail Bonds is a local bail bond company serving Gwinnett, Cobb, Clayton, and DeKalb Counties.
In California, a bail bondsman typically has six months to find and return the defendant. If the defendant is not found in the timeframe, you will be responsible for paying not only the full amount of the bond, but also any additional expenses and any unpaid premiums.
If you or a loved one have been arrested in Georgia, you may have heard about the 90-day bond rule but be confused about what this rule means. O.C.G.A. §17-7-50 says that a person who is arrested must have their case indicted (formally charged) within 90 days or they are legally entitled to a bond.
Termination of Bond Liability by Time For misdemeanors, this is one year; and for felonies, it is two years. If the charges are not tried within that time period, then any judgment on the bond is not enforceable and the surety is released from liability.
If you are denied bail, you will remain in custody until your matter is heard. Likewise, if you are granted but cannot post bail, you will remain in custody. An experienced defense attorney can help you thoroughly prepare for your bail hearing to give you the best chance of release.
