  • How Much Do Bail Bonds Cost?

    Bail bonds fees typically start at 10% of the bail amount. Let's look at an example:

    If the bail amount required is $50,000, the bail bond fee would be $5,000, in the most common cases.

  • Where Should Bail Be Posted?

    Bail bonds can be posted at the county jail. Please contact the jail for specific times when bail is accepted.

  • What Do I Need to Get a Bail Bond?

    You will need the bail bond fee and valid identification. Our bail agent will also need your personal information. This may include your birth date, driver's license number, social security number, your phone number and address, your employer's phone number and address, car and auto-tag information, and any information that may be necessary to check your qualifications to be the co-signer on the bail bond.

  • Who is Responsible for Repaying the Bail Bond?

    The indemnitor, the person signing for the bond, is financially liable. It is important that the person signing for the bail bond is confident that the defendant will appear in court as required. A bail bond is not recommended in situations when the indemnitor is not confident in the defendant.
