Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

A bail bond is a written agreement between a bail bond company and the court that guarantees a defendant will appear for all scheduled court hearings. The bail bond company posts the full bail amount on behalf of the defendant in exchange for a non-refundable premium, typically 10% of the total bail amount. If the defendant fails to appear in court, the bail bond company may be responsible for paying the full bail amount.

If a defendant fails to appear for a scheduled court date, the judge will issue a bench warrant for their arrest. The bail bond company will receive notice and may begin efforts to locate and return the defendant to custody. If the defendant does not appear within a specified time period, the court may forfeit the bail bond, meaning the full bail amount becomes due. The co-signer who signed the bail agreement may be held financially responsible for this amount.
