Huggins On-Call Bail Bonds FAQ
What is a bail bond?
A bail bond is a financial guarantee provided by a bail bond company on behalf of a defendant, ensuring their release from jail until their court date. If the defendant fails to appear in court, the bail bond company is responsible for the full bail amount.
How does the bail bond process work?
1. **Arrest and Booking:** When someone is arrested, they are taken to jail and booked.
2. **Bail Set:** A judge sets the bail amount based on the severity of the crime, the defendant's criminal history, and other factors.
3. **Contact a Bail Bondsman:** You can contact Huggins On-Call Bail Bonds to assist with posting bail.
4. **Sign Agreement and Pay Fee:** You will need to sign an agreement and pay a non-refundable fee, typically 10% of the total bail amount.
5. **Release from Jail:**
Once the bail bond is posted, the defendant will be released from jail.
What information do I need to provide to get a bail bond?
To secure a bail bond, you will need to provide the following information:
- The full name and booking number of the defendant
- The location of the jail
- The bail amount set by the court
- Your relationship to the defendant
How much does a bail bond cost?
The cost of a bail bond is typically 10% of the total bail amount. This fee is non-refundable and is paid to the bail bond company for their services.
What happens if the defendant fails to appear in court?
If the defendant fails to appear in court, the bail bond company is responsible for paying the full bail amount. The company will then take steps to locate the defendant and bring them back to court. Additionally, the co-signer of the bail bond may be held financially responsible.
Can I get my money back after the case is over?
The fee paid to the bail bond company is non-refundable. However, if you posted cash bail directly to the court, you may be eligible for a refund after the case is concluded, provided the defendant meets all court appearances and obligations.
How long does it take to get someone released from jail?
The release time can vary depending on the jail's procedures, the time of day, and the workload of the staff. Generally, it can take anywhere from 1 to 8 hours for the defendant to be released after the bail bond is posted.
