Why use a Bail Agent?

If you cannot afford bail, you need to hire a bail agent. You will pay a small fee to the agent, who will take on the responsibility of the full bail amount.

Where do I go to post the bond?

The bail agent will usually meet you at the jail to post the bond. If you are not in the same city as the defendant all paperwork and payments can be handled electronically or over the phone.

What are the defendant's responsibilities once they've been released?

After the person has been released, they must show up for all court proceedings and meet any conditions set by the bail agent.

What happens if the defendant doesn't show up for their court date?

If the defendant fails to appear in court, the bail agent will be required to pay the full bail amount. If this happens or if the defendant violates any bail conditions, the bail agent will locate the defendant and take them back to jail.
