How does the bond process work and how do I bond someone out of jail?

9/2/2015

Once a friend or family member is accused of committing a crime they are taken to county jail

and are given the opportunity to post bail. All misdemeanor offenses have a statutory bond

amount that has already been pre-set. A felony offense requires the inmate to go in front of a

judge before a bond is set. Depending on the allegations against the defendant and the inmates

prior record as well as the ties the inmate has to the community will be the determining factors

the judge uses when setting a bond.


Once bond has been set, the inmate will be given the opportunity to contact a bondsman or a

loved one to get them out of jail until the court date is set. The bondsman will work with the

family and give them all the options necessary to help the family during this difficult time. A

cosigner is usually required.  A cosigner guarantees that the defendant will appear at his/her

court dates until the defendant’s case is resolved through the court process. Most Bond

companies will allow payment plans if the defendant or family is having a difficult time getting

the premium. Monthly payments are usually figured based on the monthly income of the

cosigner as well as the defendant.


The Law Office of Jeffery E. Nona, can refer you to a professional local bondsman with years of

experience. They will walk you through the process and make it as easy as possible for you and

your loved ones.


The purpose of posting bail gives the defendant the opportunity to assist their attorney in the

preparation of their criminal case and any possible defenses they may have. It also allows them

to keep working that way they can continue to provide for their families and not lose their

employment sitting in jail waiting for future court dates.

It helped a lot when you mentioned how most bond companies will let you make monthly payments based on your income. My uncle is currently in jail and we don't have enough money to bail him out, I think that a bond company will allow us to afford a bail without worrying about losing all of our money. I think my family will be happy to hear that we can make monthly payments on my uncle's bail.

It's good to know that a bondsman will work with the inmate's family and will give them all of their options so that they understand what they can do in their situation. My uncle might be going to jail soon and my aunt is worried that she won't be able to understand the bailing process. I will let her know that a bondsman will be able to walk her through the entire procedure so that she will understand how she can help my uncle.

That's good there are payment plans. My sister got arrested recently. We'll have to look into bail bonds.
