BAIL BOND PROCESS

 

Bail is established by the court.  The court will base the amount of bail on the crime the defendant is accused of committing.

 

The general public can hire a Bail Bond Company to post bail on their behalf.  This is a private agreement between the Bail Bond Company and the client.

 

A bail bond is issued to the court by the Bail Bond Company.  AAA Bail Bonds must then guarantee the client will attend all required appearances. In order for AAA Bail Bonds to make this guarantee an agreement is established between the defendant, AAA Bail Bonds and the co-signers.  The bond is considered ‘in effect’ until the final appearance of the client.  At the final appearance the court will exonerate the bond.

 

The bail bond process is a great asset to our judicial system, as well as to the general public.  See below: 

 

                 A.  A Bail Bond Company’s guarantee allows courts the financial capability to operate each                  case without the cost of apprehending defendants who do not appear in court. This is                  commonly known as a Failure to Appear (FTA.)

 

                 B.  Bail bonds provide defendants a lower cost of their bail liability to the courts allowing                  them to return to work and operate their daily lives.

 

                 C.  The bail bond system reduces jail over-crowding which lowers the cost to the general                  public.
