FAQ

Q: What is a bail bond?

A: A bail bond is a contract between a bail bond company, a defendant, and the court. The bail bond company agrees to pay the full amount of the defendant's bail if they fail to appear in court as required. In return, the defendant or their loved one pays a percentage of the bail amount to the bail bond company as a fee.

Q: How much does a bail bond cost?

A: The cost of a bail bond varies depending on the bail amount and the state where the defendant was arrested. In California, the fee for a bail bond is typically 10% of the bail amount. For example, if the bail amount is $10,000, the fee for a bail bond would be $1,000.

Q: What happens if the defendant fails to appear in court?

A: If the defendant fails to appear in court as required, the bail bond company will do everything necessary to secure the defendant back into jail or at court. Take note: if the defendant flees, the indemnitor is financially responsible for the entire amount of the bond. In addition, the defendant may be charged with failure to appear, which is a separate criminal offense.

Q: Can I get my money back after the case is over?

A: The fee paid to the bail bond company is non-refundable. It is considered payment for the service of posting the bail bond and securing the defendant's release from custody.

Q: What happens if the defendant is found guilty?

A: If the defendant is found guilty, they may be sentenced to jail time or probation. The bail bond company is not responsible for any fines or other penalties imposed by the court.
