FAQs

A surety bail bond is a legal agreement involving three parties: the court, the bail bondsman, and the indemnitor. The bail bondsman assures the court that the accused will attend all future court appearances upon release. The indemnitor, in turn, guarantees to the bondsman that they will ensure the defendant's court attendance. For this service, the bondsman charges a percentage of the total bond amount.

Acceptable forms of collateral include property, land, titles, or cash. In certain cases, bank CDs, stocks, and bonds may also be accepted. For more information about collateral options for 24-hour bail bonds, please reach out to one of our bail bondsmen.

Collateral refers to any valuable asset provided to the bail agent as security for the bond. If you need representation or have questions about collateral, please contact our team of experienced bail bondsmen.

The collateral is returned to you once the bail agent receives a bond discharge from the court. This document officially releases the bail agent from further responsibility for the bond. Based on our experience, it typically takes between 7 to 21 days for the bail bondsman to receive the discharge after the case concludes.

In our experience, county jails usually process releases within 2 to 8 hours after the bond is posted. However, due to high volume, it may occasionally take up to 12-24 hours. We recommend contacting us promptly to engage a professional who can guide you through the bail bond process.

Courts notify defendants of their court dates via mail. As a courtesy, most jurisdictions also inform the bail bondsman of court dates, either by mail or phone. However, it remains the responsibility of the defendant and their representatives to ensure awareness of and attendance at all court dates.
