Consider These Things When Selecting Bail Bonds Company

By Barbara Graham


Bail is property or money that is deposited or pledged to court for securing the release of a suspect from jail or custody. This would be kept while trial is still ongoing and it will be returned if the defendant appeared on all his schedules. But if ever he failed to do so then this is going to be forfeited and he may be charged with failing to appear.

Some states have corporations, agencies or persons that pays this amount for the defendant in his behalf with a charge for this service. These are called bail bonds Holland has which are illegal in other countries with the Philippines as an exception. Here are several things you have to consider when you choose a company which offers this service.

Find one offering the best deal regarding the service fees with the location and what the company has decided as factor of their prices. Most companies charge ten percent out of the bail plus an additional payment for extra assistance such as gas, phone calls and mileage. Others have fixed fees though which is fifteen percent and one hundred dollars as minimum.

Defense attorney usually work with these companies and they could recommend you one which they had a good experience with. Doing this will probably have their price reduced to eight percent which is a great saving. Having an attorney is essential for your trial so get one first and ask for referrals from them.

Before posting bail, wait until the arraignment hearing is finished because your lawyer could try negotiating with the judge to lower it. Sometimes defendants are released on his recognizance and paying any amount is not necessary anymore. But if not, your attorney or loved ones could try convincing the judge that lowering it is not a problem.

Be friendly with the detention officers or have your lawyers befriend them because they deal with these companies also and could refer a good one to you. They could suggest even to lower your bail amount and help you to leave in awkward situations. Befriending them is advantageous whenever you need help during court procedures.

Be careful when other companies which offer lower fees down to five percent, approach you, which may be a good deal and the best option. But they do not probably have the experience needed for handling situations like these unlike reputable ones. They might be deceiving clients also with false advertisement and are breaking the law probably.

When choosing the right company, employing an agency should be considered because your case will be handled and your information kept confidential by them. They assist on posting bail faster with less hassle and are known by court clerks and attorneys well. You can easily contact them while smaller companies are hard to reach.

Before a decision is made, find online reviews about these companies to read what others are thinking. You may even read negative ones about them which helps you know who to avoid. These are great source of recommendations because the reviewers had also experienced what you are now experiencing.
