Question: What is a bail bond?
Answer: A bail bond is a bond for an individual charged with criminal offenses by
a law enforcement agency. This type of bond allows the defendant to remain free
until his or her hearing date by paying a " Bail Bondsman " a fee to guarantee
the court the appearance of the defendant on his or her date of trial.
Question: How much is the fee for a bail bond?
Answer: The defendant must pay the bondsman 10% of the amount of the bond.
For instance, if you have a $1000.00 bond, you would pay the bondsman $100.00
to secure your release.
Question: Why should I use a bondsman rather than posting bond with the court
system?
Answer: If you post bond with many court systems they require the entire
amount of the bond. For example, if you have $10,000.00 bond and post it via the
court you pay $10,000.00. If you employ a bondsman, such 1st Action, you'll only
pay 10% of that which equals $1000.00
Question: If I'm arrested should I call an attorney before calling a bondsman?
Answer: If you've already been arrested your lawyer can't change that. Your
main goal at this time should be to obtain freedom by calling a bondsman. 1st

and your lawyer may persue the next steps in your particular case.
