What Is A Bail Bond?
A Bail bond is a type of surety bond, in monetary or property form, issued to the court for the release of a person who has been arrested and placed in custody of the law. The bond acts as a promissory agreement between the defendant and the court system that implies the defendant will be present in court on a specified date set by the court.
Determining the cost of the bail bond depends on the following factors:
The type of crime – Crimes that are considered petty or less violent than other crimes typically have lower bail bond costs. If a criminal act is more threatening to the community than usual, the higher the bail will most likely be.
The defendant – The court judge has the ability to set bail or not, and determines the bail amount. Bail will most likely be set based on the nature of the crime as mentioned previously and if the defendant has a criminal record, is a flight risk (e.g., won’t show up for court), or has a reputation for unruly behavior.
The jurisdiction – Depending on the county, there are bail schedules for certain types of crimes committed. Contact us or check with your family’s lawyer to learn the bail schedule, or “sentence enhancements”, for the act your loved one was arrested for.
