How to understand the Basics of a Bail Bond? 

bail bond annual premiums To understand the process, we need to first know what bail is and how it works. There are 3 types of bail that anyone can post, property bond, cash bond and surety bond. The first two options, property, or cash bond stipulate that you or someone in the defendants’ behalf puts up property or cash for the full-face value of the bond. The benefit to posting bail in this manner is that you do not pay the bail bond fees or premiums, but the disadvantage is that you tie up financial resources for the duration of the bond. Once the bond is exonerated, whoever puts up the cash or the property gets it back unless the court orders a forfeiture. When individuals lack the ability to put up the bond in full, this is where we can step in and fill that gap. The bail bond agency essentially acts as an underwriter for the surety company and assumes the “risks” in exchange, the signers and or defendants only pay a percentage of the bail ordered to the surety company. Typically, the same terms and conditions apply to a surety bond and as they do for property or cash bond. Once the defendant appears to all court appearances and reaches a disposition, the bond is exonerated, there is no more liability on the bond. bail bonds large bail

What Are Some Options to Large Bail Bonds?

domestic violence bail bonds In the state of California, each county has a bail schedule (58 counties in total). These schedules outline the amount of bail ordered for specific offenses. Not all counties have the same bail amounts. Someone in Orange County who gets arrested for domestic violence could be a $30,000 and another person in Los Angeles County who gets arrested for a similar offense could be $50,000. There are other factors that are considered when bail is set but when arrested, the agency that conducted the arrest typically goes off bail schedules. If the defendant does not bail out and waits to see the judge, typically within 72 hours, the judge has the discretion to release the defendant on his or her own recognizance, reduce the bail amount and in some circumstances, raise the bail amount if there have been changes to a defendant’s case such as adding more charges, counts and or amendments made to the complaint. Speak to an experienced lawyer for legal advice. If someone is arrested, and the ordered bail is high, what can we do? In some situations, the ordered bail can be set at an amount that makes it almost impossible to afford bail or in rare cases, there is no bail set. What can we do? At the defendant’s arraignment, we can request the court to address the issue with bond or set a bail review hearing. It's important to note that a bail hearing is not a guarantee that bail will get reduced or be released on their own recognizance. And it is possible that after a bail hearing, the ordered bond amount can go up. The purpose of the bail review is to present to the court that the defendant posses no flight risks or is not a danger to him or herself and the public.
