In the United States, everyone has the right to bail as long as they have not been charged with a violent crime that resulted in a traumatic injury or the death of another individual. The 8th amendment of the Constitution was created to prevent individuals who were suspected of a crime from sitting in jail for several months while they waited for their trial. The “innocent till proven guilty” concept applies here. Defendants who are allowed to bond out of jail can return to work and continue to support their families. During this time, they are often encouraged to hire an attorney so that they can get a head start on preparing their case. The more time they have to prepare, the better their defense strategy will be.

We can write any kind of bond you may need: state, federal or immigration. We do it all. We also work with bail bonds that require collateral. Signature bonds are also available if you qualify. We handle criminal bail bonds as well as walk-in bonds. No matter what your situation, we can help you.

A persons' bail is set in a variety of ways. It can be set according to pre-determined bail schedule that has been agreed upon by local judges or it can be set by the judge in a formal bail bond hearing. Either way, the amount of bond is usually determined by the seriousness of the crime, as well as what type of flight risk the defendant seems to be. Crimes that are extremely serious, such as attempted murder, rape, capital murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon may cause the judge to reconsider bail. Because of the nature of the crime, the judge may choose to deny bail altogether and remand the defendant into custody until their trial date.

Bail works in two ways:

Bail works to provide a defendant early release so he can return home and continue to work at his job. Being able to post bail is every American's constitutional right. It gives them the benefit of being able to resume their life and take care of their family. If the arrested person is the family's only provider, this can be a godsend and will help the family remain safe and well cared for. If the defendant complies with the court's demands and attends their hearings as scheduled, the bail money is released and the case is closed.

If the defendant does not comply and misses their court date or continues to get into trouble, the court can revoke their bail bond. Once a bond has been forfeited, it is up to the bail bonds agent to apprehend the defendant and return them to the jail. The court will normally give the agents a set amount of time to accomplish this before forfeiting the bail bond. If, for some reason, a person knows they will not be able to attend their hearing, due to a health issue or some other type of emergency, all they have to do is notify us and call the courts to let them know what is going on. In most cases, the hearing will be rescheduled.
