Bails are guarantees that the defendant appears for his
court dates set by the courts based on prescribed criteria. When a defendant
cannot raise the bail, the defendant is allowed to pay a portion of the bail,
normally 10% of the total amount of the bail. The defendant can turn to the
bail bonds company to put up the rest of the bail for a fee. If everything goes
well at the completion of the case and the defendant never skipped a court
date, the court returns the full amount posted by the bonding company including
the 10% that was paid by the defendant. The bail bonds company keeps the 10% as
payment for its services.
When you are accused of a crime, the court allows you a
chance to stay out of jail by putting up a bail. If you opt to stay in custody,
then there is no need for a bail. However, no one in his right mind would opt
to stay incarcerated when he can be released on bail. If you can afford to
raise the whole amount of the bail, then go for it. It would be lesser expenses
on you and your family. The 10% that the bail bonds company collects from you
is still an amount you can set aside for other expenditures. You are also freed
from having to deal with procedures and conditions as well as terms of the bail
bonds company.
You can also reduce the time spent processing your documents
for release as the time allotted for finding a good bail bonds company has been
dispensed with. The procedure is likewise reduced shortening the time you spend
in processing the documentation. Why do you have to resort to hiring the
services of a bail bonds company when you can on your own raise the full amount
of the bail? You must bear in mind that when you hire a bail bonds company, you
are being charged for the services you get from them and that is still money
you are spending there. Ten percent is still a lot of money.
The only time you need to hire a bail bonds company is when
the amount of the bail is too high that your family cannot raise it up quickly
to ensure your release from jail temporarily. The 10% of the total bail amount
can be paid by your family through cash, finding someone to finance it or by
credit card. Whatever option you take would depend on your discretion. The
court would not dip its finger on our decision. The bail bonds agent will put
up the rest of the bail upon signing by both parties of an agreement on the
terms and conditions of the bonding agency.
When you are arrested for a crime or a family member of
yours or a friend, you may be asked to act in their stead. When you are, then
the decision of when to refuse or accept the services of a bail bonds agent
rest on your shoulders. You have to have complete information on the case
including the financial capability of the family to face the financial requirements
of the case. In doing so, you will be coming up with a well informed decision
that is best for the defendant and his family.
