How to Receive a Bail Bond
Following an arrest, you’re typically given one phone call. Most will call their family or attorney. If that’s the case, you can ask either one to contact a bail bond agency in the area. When securing a bail bond, you will be charged a fee usually between 10 and 20% of the total bail amount. A bail bondsman will handle the rest of the money. If the defendant does not appear in court, the bail bondsman tracks down the accused and brings them to court to avoid losing their investment.
It takes just one phone call. Most bail bond agencies are open 24/7 to provide relief to the community. You’ll need to know the defendant’s name, their charges, and their case number when calling.
Bail Bond Collateral
If you are unable to pay the monetary fee for bail bond services, then you can offer up collateral. The collateral you offer varies between agencies, but most accept:
- Property
- Vehicles with titles
- Jewelry
- Firearms
- Antiques
- Electronics
