What Is Bail & What Is a Bail Bond?
If you’ve never navigated the justice system before, this process can feel overwhelming. Here’s what you need to know in plain language.
What Is Bail?
When someone is arrested, a judge sets a bail amount — a sum of money that must be paid for them to be released from jail while they wait for their court date. It’s a guarantee they’ll show up to court.
What Is a Bail Bond?
If you can’t afford the full bail amount, a bail bondsman steps in and posts bail on your behalf. You pay a fee — typically 15% of the bail amount — and your loved one comes home.
Who Sets the Amount?
A judge determines bail based on the charges, the person’s history, and other factors. Amounts vary widely. AC Bail Bonds handles everything from misdemeanors to felonies.
What About Court Dates?
Missing a court date can mean losing the bail and a new warrant being issued. AC Bail Bonds provides court date reminders — so nothing falls through the cracks.
