How bail works

Bail is money a court sets to make sure a person returns for their court dates. If you can’t pay the full amount, a bail bond agent can post it for you in exchange for a fee.

  1. Call us with the basics

    Give us the person’s full name, the jail where they’re held, and the booking number if you have it. We confirm the bail amount.

  2. Sign the paperwork

    The person paying (the indemnitor) signs an agreement and pays the premium. We explain every line before you sign.

  3. We post the bond

    We deliver the bond to the jail. Release times vary by facility and can take several hours.

  4. Make every court date

    Your loved one must attend all hearings. Missing court can put the bond at risk and lead to a new warrant.

What to have ready when you call

Don’t have everything? Call anyway. We’ll help you find what’s missing.

What it costs

The fee for a bail bond is called a premium. It is a percentage of the total bail amount, and in most states that percentage is set by law. The premium is generally not refundable, even if the charges are dropped.

We’ll give you the exact figure, and any other fees, before you agree to anything. [Edit: add your state’s premium rate and payment options.]

Common questions

How fast can someone be released?

Once the bond is posted, release usually takes a few hours, but it depends on how busy the jail is and its booking process.

Can I pay the full bail myself instead?

Yes. If you pay the full amount to the court, it’s typically returned when the case ends, minus any court fees. A bond agent lets you pay only the premium instead.

What if bail hasn’t been set yet?

Some people must wait for a bail hearing before an amount is set. Call us and we’ll tell you what to expect for your county.

What does it mean to co-sign?

A co-signer (indemnitor) promises that the person will appear in court. If they don’t, the co-signer can be responsible for the full bond amount. Please read the agreement carefully.

What happens if they miss court?

The court can issue a warrant and require the bond to be paid in full. If it happens, call us right away. In some cases it can be fixed.

Is my call confidential?

Yes. We don’t share your information beyond what’s needed to post the bond.
