If your loved one is accused of a crime, he/she will be set a bail bond amount. This amount is determined based on the severity of the crime, whether or not violence was involved, if the suspect has had any past indiscretions, etc. If this bail amount is paid, the accused will be set free until their court date. Typically, a loved one will contact a professional bail bondsman in the area who will help cover the bail amount, and the money borrowed from the bail bonds company will be paid back in installments.

When you seek the help of a professional bail bonds company, the bail bondsman who is working on your loved one’s case will need some basic information from you. This includes your loved one’s name, date of birth, the crime they were accused of,  and the day and location of their court hearing. Fortunately, most of this information can be found using the search warrant page.

In order to pay a suspect's bail, an individual must be over the age of 18. Typically, a person will call a relative, close friend, or professional bail bondsman to get help with paying bail. 

When you cannot afford bail, you have two basic options. The first is to not post bail at all, and await trial in jail. If you are adamant about awaiting trial from home, your second option is to hire a professional bail bonds company, like 911 Bail Bonding. We will post the bail on your behalf, and we get that money back once you show up for your court date.
