FAQ
The decision to post bail for someone should not be taken lightly. Financially, you risk losing the bail amount or collateral if the defendant fails to appear in court. Legally, the defendant's absence can lead to arrest warrants and additional charges, complicating their legal situation further.

Defendant is Released on Bail It can take from 30 minutes to 12 hours for the defendant to be released once the bond is posted depending on the jail, staff and circumstances of the defendant.
