Bail or a bail bond?
Paying the full bail yourself
You can pay the full bail amount instead of using a bond. Payment rules depend on the charge. Call us and we explain what the jail accepts. The deposit is returned after the case’s court appearances.
Using a bail bond
You pay us a premium, a percentage of the bail, and we post a bond for the full amount. Most families choose a bond because it costs far less up front. See what a bail bond costs.
