San Fernando Valley Bail Bonds

A bail bondsman is a licensed professional who essentially takes on the responsibility of a person who is being released from custody. After a person is arrested and charged with a crime, the court will set bail. This amount of money must be paid in order for the defendant to be released from jail, but often this amount is too high for the defendant to pay on his or her own. This is where a bail bond and a bail bondsman come in the picture. A criminal bail bond, surety bond or property bond may be secured on a defendant's behalf in order to obtain his or her release from custody, on the promise that the defendant will show up to court when ordered. To obtain a bail bond, a person typically pays approximately 10% of the entire bail amount. The bond then covers the rest, should the defendant flee the state or country, or simply not show up in court.

A bail bondsman typically goes further than simply helping a person secure a bail bond to be released from custody. The bail bondsman will also take on the responsibility of ensuring the entire bail amount is paid if the defendant does not show up in court, and will often have the resources to seek out the defendant and arrest him or her if he misses a court date. A bail bondsman, defendant and the person purchasing the bond have to trust one another. A bail bond is a legally binding agreement that may have devastating financial consequences if not handled correctly.
