FAQ
Anyone can post your bail bond. Usually you will go through a bail bondsman so you put up a small percentage of the bail, but you forfeit that once the bond a returned. To qualify you need to have credit and collateral. If your bail bond is $100K ...
The bail bond process involves completing paperwork, providing identification, and potentially providing collateral. The bondsman and the Indemnitor (the person securing the bond) are responsible for ensuring the accused's appearance in court until the case is resolved.
In Florida, bail is determined by the judge based on factors like the severity of the charges, your criminal history, and whether you are considered a flight risk. The judge may also consider community ties and the potential danger to the public.
No - if you signed the bond it doesn't matter whether you have a job or not - or whether the bondsman asked you if you did. You are liable as surety on the bond - having a job or not has nothing to do with your liability. Sorry.
And while some will tell you that you can't remain anonymous, the short answer is actually yes, you can. (But with one major consideration.) The Court is going to need a name and person to return the bond to once the court date has been successfully completed.
If you can't afford bail, you will remain in jail until your court date, which can range from weeks for minor offenses to months or even years for serious charges. The timeline largely depends on the complexity of the case, the court's schedule, and whether there are any delays in the legal process.
The uniform bond schedule The new law mandates the Florida Supreme Court to establish a uniform schedule for specific offenses not included in the “dangerous crime” category. This schedule became effective on January 1, 2024, outlining set bond amounts for various felonies and misdemeanors.
Bail bond fees are set by the state When bond is set for someone who was arrested in Florida, the amount is not made up. The bond is set based on pre-determined criteria depending on the crime. The criteria can include previous convictions, the likelihood of appearance, and the severity of the crime.
