A. A bond is the right to be released from jail prior to being convicted of a crime. It is a sort of insurance that ensures the court the defendant will appear at future hearings after being released from jail.

A. Instead of having to pay the full bond amount to have your loved one released you can use a bonding service agency to provide the court with a bond that guarantees full payment if the defendant does not appear in court.

A. Most of the time collateral is not needed in order to post bond. However, it may be based on certain circumstances. Contact us to find out more about using collateral to post bond.

A. The person paying the bond fee and signing the bond is known as the indemnitor. This person assumes financial responsibility for the actions of defendant, meaning they may need to pay the full bond amount if the person does not show up for court, as well as other associated fees.

A. The full bond amount is set by the court, whereas the bond premium is the percentage of that amount that is owed to the bonding service agency for posting the bond when using that service. This number is generally quite low and may vary slightly on a case-by-case basis, but is often around 10 percent of the total bond amount.

A. Depending on how busy the jail is that the defendant is at they could be released anywhere between 1 to 12 hours or more.
