Frequently asked questions
What should I do first after an arrest?
Call with the defendant’s full legal name, date of birth, jail location, court location if known, and any bond amount you were given.
Can bail be handled online?
Many intake steps can start online or by phone. Some files may require additional identification, signatures, payment verification, collateral review, or in person steps.
Do you give legal advice?
No. We provide bail bond services and general bail process information. Speak with an attorney for legal advice about the charge, defense, plea, or court strategy.
Can you recommend a lawyer?
No. A bail bond agent should not direct a defendant to a specific attorney. You may choose your own counsel.
What if the bond amount is very high?
Call and ask for a large bond review. Higher bonds may require more information, additional indemnitors, stronger proof of income, collateral review, or surety approval.
What happens if the defendant misses court?
Missing court can create serious consequences, including warrant, forfeiture, additional costs, and liability under the bond agreement. Always attend court and keep all contact information current.
Can I make payments?
Payment plans may be available with approval. Terms depend on the case, bond amount, employment, income, collateral, and surety requirements.
