1.
What is a Bail Bond?
A bail bond is a promise from the bondsman to pay the sheriff
a specified amount (the amount of the bail). If the defendant
(person in jail) does not show up in court, all of the paperwork
and liability is primarily assumed by the bail bond company.
You
pay the bondman a percentage of the bail amount to assume
the responsibilities of paperwork, liability, bond forfeiture
and re-arrest.
2.
How long does it take to get out of jail?
The paperwork we require takes 15-20 minutes. Usually it
takes 2 to 4 hours to get out of the Lou
Sterritt Jail. If the holding facility is particularly
“busy”, the hold time can be considerably longer.
We will work as fast as possible on your bail bond.
3.
Why don’t I get my money back?
The bail bondsman charges a non-refundable fee to perform
the paper work, legwork and “hassel” of getting
your loved one out of jail, along with potentially having
to pay the full amount of the bond should the defendant
skip court or jump bond. The amount you will pay for the
bail bond is a small percentage of what is actually “put
up” with the sheriff to secure your loved ones release
from jail.
4.
How do I get a warrant for my arrest lifted?
Call us with your name and date of birth and we will verify
that the warrant is active and determine if an amount of
required bail has been set by the judge. We can arrange
for you to surrender yourself and immediately thereafter
submit a bail bond for your release. Surrendering is much
better than being arrested at home, at your job, or on the
street which will require a much longer period of time to
get you out of jail than surrendering.
