When Your Family Matters Most, Trust Bail & Rescue Bonding

A bail bond is a financial guarantee provided by a bail bond company to the court, ensuring the defendant appears for all required court dates. This allows the defendant to be released from custody while awaiting trial.

• Contact a bail bond company and provide necessary details about the defendant.
• Pay a non-refundable premium, typically 10-20% of the total bond amount. Additional escrow may be required, ranging from a percentage to the full bond amount.
• The bail bond company posts the bond to secure the defendant’s release.
• The defendant must comply with all court requirements and bond conditions.

A cosigner is usually a friend or family member who agrees to take financial responsibility for the bond.

Proof of identity, employment, and financial stability is required.

If the defendant misses a court date:

• The bail bond company may have to pay the full bond amount.
• The cosigner is responsible for reimbursing the company.
• If on a payment plan, the cosigner must pay the remaining balance and any costs for recapturing the defendant.
• A warrant may be issued for the defendant’s arrest.

The premium (10-20% of the bond amount) is non-refundable. However, escrow or collateral provided will be returned once the case is resolved, and bond conditions are met.

Violations of bond conditions or the need to recapture the defendant may result in the forfeiture of escrow or collateral.

Typically, the release process takes a few hours, depending on the jail's processing time. Delays beyond this are due to internal jail issues.

The Sheriff's Office advises allowing up to four hours. Bail & Rescue will follow up with the Sheriff's Office if the release exceeds four hours.

Travel restrictions vary based on court orders. If GPS monitoring is required, additional conditions may apply.

Always confirm with the bail bond company, GPS monitoring provider, and the court before traveling, especially out of state.

Yes, a bail bond can be revoked if the defendant violates bond conditions, misses court dates, or engages in illegal activities.

Collateral is an asset (e.g., property, vehicle, or jewelry) used to secure the bond.

It ensures the bail bond company is protected if the defendant fails to comply with bond obligations.

Yes, non-U.S. citizens can obtain a bail bond but may need additional documentation, such as a passport, visa, or ITIN. Collateral may also be required.

If the charges are dropped and the bond is exonerated, the cosigner remains responsible for paying any outstanding balance on the bond.

The exoneration releases the bail bond company from further obligations to the court but does not eliminate the cosigner’s financial commitment.

While the premium is non-refundable, any escrow or collateral provided will only be returned once the case is resolved and all financial obligations, including the remaining balance, have been fully satisfied.
