Being arrested can take a toll on a person’s nerves, and the bail amount is always a daunting number to hear. It’s almost always more than what a person can afford. In addition, the prospect of finding out where to post that money and how to post it the right way can be disconcerting for the inexperienced.
That’s why hiring a bail bonds agent for making bail is the wise choice. One of your best options is Grimes’ Bail Bonding and Notary Services! We minimize your paperwork and push to post bail as fast as the jail system will allow.
If this is the first time you or your loved one has been arrested, then you may not know much about the bail process. Bail is the set amount of money given to the court on loan as a promise that the person arrested will attend all future court hearings upon release.
The bail amount acts as collateral to keep the person accused of a crime from ignoring court dates or running from the judicial system where they must now defend themselves in. If the defendant attends all court dates and trial proceedings, the bail amount is returned at the conclusion of the trial.
Bail is determined either initially by a set of schedules at jail or later at arraignment by a judge. When a judge makes this determination, it is set into a court order and becomes the only way to be released from jail for that defendant. A judge decides on the bail amount by considering a variety of factors.
These include:
Sometimes, a defendant may be released on OR (Own Recognizance). This is when the judge is all but entirely convinced that the defendant will return for trial proceedings without further motivation, incentive, or risk of avoidance.
In this case, the defendant merely signs a document promising to return for each court date without necessitating any law officials to retrieve them. OR is granted only for nonviolent crimes where the defendant poses no flight risk, and it is infrequent.
