How does a Bail Bond work?
A bail bond is a financial guarantee that is provided to the court by a bail bondsman or bail bond agency on behalf of a defendant who has been arrested and is awaiting trial.
When a person is arrested, they may be required to post bail in order to be released from custody while awaiting trial. The amount of bail is typically set by the court and is based on the severity of the alleged crime and the defendant's criminal history.
If the defendant cannot afford to post the full amount of bail, they may choose to work with a bail bond agency. The agency will typically charge a non-refundable fee, typically around 10% of the total bail amount, and will then provide a bail bond to the court. This bond acts as a guarantee that the defendant will appear in court for all required hearings and will comply with any other conditions of their release.
If the defendant fails to appear in court or violates the conditions of their release, the bail bond agency may be required to pay the full amount of the bail to the court. This can result in the agency taking legal action to recover the amount of the bond from the defendant or their co-signer, if one was used.
