FAQ
The bail bond agent will need you to sign some paperwork in order for you to secure their services. This usually means paying an amount to the agent, usually a percentage of the total bail amount, and signing off on any collateral for the bond.
Before giving us a call, make sure you have the following information handy: The full name of the person who was arrested. Where is the person being held for custody (you should include the name of jail, city, and county) The person's booking number.
Bail bond agents can carry firearms (like regular citizens) and make arrests in California. However, they do not have the same power as police officers to investigate crimes, enforce traffic laws, or cordon off specific areas.
Failing to post bond has several consequences: Extended Jail Time: You remain in custody until your court date, ranging from weeks to months. Court Appearances: Regular court appearances are required.
But to secure a bail bond, you'll likely need something called bail bond references. These are people who can vouch for the person who needs to be released (the defendant). In short, bail bond references are like character witnesses for bail bonds.
Your Bond Must Be A Reasonable Value The Indiana Supreme Court has held that bonds must be reasonable. If a bond amount is unreasonably high, it may be seen as overstepping the intended purpose of ensuring your attendance at court. Sometimes, a seemingly outrageously high bond can be justified in the name of safety.
There's no magic number. The amount must reflect the severity of the offense and the defendant's flight risk. Because each situation is so unique, judges receive a lot of leeway in setting bail. Defendants must clear a high hurdle to prove bail was excessive.
