FAQ
In criminal law, bail is the process of releasing a defendant from jail or other governmental custody with conditions set to reasonably assure public safety and court appearance.
Bail after an Arrest After booking, a Bail Clerk will be contacted by the police and he or she will be told the circumstances of the arrest and the charges against the arrestee. The Bail Clerk will decide if a bail is necessary to guarantee your appearance at Court if you are released, and if so, how much.
Attend All Court Hearings: This is the most critical condition of bail. Missing a single court date can lead to a bench warrant being issued for your arrest, and you'll forfeit your bail. Live Lawfully: Avoid any criminal activity, even minor offenses.
