What is Bail Bond?
How does a bail bond work?
When you use a bail bond you are putting up a financial guarantee with the court that the defendant will make all of their court appearances. You pay a bail bondsman for the service of putting up the full amount of the bail bond with the court, typically no more than 10% of the total bond amount. After the bond is posted the person will be released from jail. They will be obligated to make all of their court appearances or else they will incur extra fines and be put back in jail.
Is there a difference between bail bond companies?
All bail bondsman provide the same basic service of posting a bond with the court that secures the release of a defendant. The difference between companies is in the quality of service, the terms of the agreement that they work out with you, and whether they offer additional services.
At Huntington Beach Bail Bonds for example, we don’t charge for a new bond fee is your court case takes longer than a year. Most companies charge for this, which means that if your case takes longer than a year you have to pay for a new bail bond. This can be very expensive and we don’t believe you should have to pay twice for the same service.
What is an indemnitor or cosigner?
An indemnitor is the person who assumes the financial liability for bailing someone out of jail. In the event that the defendant doesn’t show up in court, the indemnitor, or the person who cosigns the bail bond agreement, will be financially responsible for the bail bond.
Is the bail bond premium refundable?
The bail bond premium is non refundable. The bail bond premium is the price that you pay to the bail bondsman for them putting up the full amount of the bail bond with the court.
