Bonding Process
If you or a loved one is in a sticky situation and require the help of a bail bondsman, I am here to help. The process can be a bit confusing, so below is the general process and information required.
- When you are arrested, the jail is required to give you one free phone call. Typically, this phone call is either to a bail bondsman, attorney, or family member. Make sure to tell your attorney or family to contact me as soon as possible so we can get the process started.
- Defendants Full Name
- Defendants Date of Birth
- Detention Facility
- Amount of Bail
- Date Arrested
- Form of Payment
- After I have been contacted, we can start the application process. Depending on the situation, the bondsman may require co-signers in addition to the defendant on the bond who will also need to fill out an application.
- Once the application is completed, I will verify the required information and determine the premium amount, any collateral needed to secure the bond, and whether any additional co-signers are needed.
- Upon agreement to set terms, the defendant and/or co-signers will meet with me to go over those terms in detail, collect any payment of premium and collateral, and sign the contract.
- Once premium is paid and the contract is signed, I will go to the facility where the defendant is being held and secure their release.
- After release, I will meet with the defendant and any co-signers to clearly lay out the expectations of them while out on bond and the consquences of not meeting those expectations.
