If your loved one is accused of a crime, he/she will be set a bail bond amount. This amount is determined based on the severity of the crime, whether or not violence was involved, if the suspect has had any past indiscretions, etc. If this bail amount is paid, the accused will be set free until their court date. Typically, a loved one will contact a professional bail bondsman in the area who will help cover the bail amount, and the money borrowed from the bail bonds company will be paid back in installments.

When you seek the help of a professional bail bonds company, the bail bondsman who is working on your loved one’s case will need some basic information from you. This includes your loved one’s name, date of birth, the crime they were accused of,  and the day and location of their court hearing. Fortunately, most of this information can be found using the search warrant page.

In order to pay a suspect's bail, an individual must be over the age of 18. Typically, a person will call a relative, close friend, or professional bail bondsman to get help with paying bail.

If you are adamant about awaiting trial from home, your second option is to hire a professional bail bonds company, like 911 Bail Bonding.

Typically, the bail bonds process is rather short. This involves finding a professional bail bondsman, giving him/her the necessary information about the suspect and their current charges, and signing the paperwork to get that individual out of jail. This process can take a matter of hours or days. It all depends on the severity of the crime, the amount the bail is set at, the bail bonds company you are working with, etc. However, the best way to learn how long the process will take with your particular case is by asking the bail bonds company you are working with to give you an estimate.

The judge will set bail based on a bail schedule. He/she will also factor in the severity of the crime, whether or not violence was used, and other variables. They will then decide on an amount. The cost of a bail bond is typically this amount, paid in installments.

If you are looking to get your cash bail bond back, then your case must have a positive outcome. Basically, if you were granted a diversionary program, acquitted charges brought against you, received a sentence, or the chargers were dismissed, you can get your cash bond back. However, it is also significant to understand that you must follow bail restrictions, and continue the bail process without violations. Otherwise, you may not be eligible to get your bail money back.
