When someone is arrested, they are taken to jail and held until their trial date. If they cannot afford to pay bail, they will remain in jail until their trial, which could be weeks or even months later. This can have a devastating impact on their life, as they may lose their job, their home, and even their children.
That’s where bail bonds come in. A bail bond is a contract between a bail bondsman and the defendant that ensures the defendant will appear in court for their trial. In exchange for the bail bond, the bail bondsman pays the bail to the court, and the defendant is released from jail.
