A bail bond is a financial agreement made by a bondsman to secure the release of a loved one in jail. It guarantees the court that the person will appear at all required court dates. If they fail to appear, the bond will be forfeited, and a warrant is issued for their arrest.

It depends on the size of the bond and the risk involved. In many cases, we can write bonds without it. If collateral is taken, it will be returned once the case is exonerated. Call us and we’ll walk you through the options.

Once clearance is complete and bail is set, an agent will work with the signer to secure the release of the arrestee. After the paperwork is complete, the agent will post the bond at the jail to secure the release.

To get started, you will need:

• Defendant’s full name and jail location

• Your contact info as the co-signer

• Valid State ID

• Proof of income

The fee is 10% of the total bail amount, as regulated by the State of Florida. For example, if bail is set at $5,003.00, the bond premium is $500.30. This fee is non-refundable.

Once the bond is posted at the jail by the agent, release time varies by jail. Your loved one will contact you once they are released.

Missing court is serious. A warrant will be issued by the judge, and the bond will be forfeited. We will attempt to locate and return the defendant to custody. The signer (indemnitor) will also be held financially responsible for the full bail amount if the person isn’t returned.

Yes, we can! We work with a network of trusted agents to assist with out-of-county bonds. Just call us — we’ll help wherever you need us.
