What is a bail bondsman?
A bail bondsman, also known as a bail bond agent, is a licensed professional who provides financial assistance to individuals who have been arrested and are awaiting trial.
When someone is charged with a crime, the court may set a bail amount that the defendant must pay to secure their release until their court appearance. However, the full bail amount is often beyond the financial means of the defendant or their family. This is where a bail bondsman comes in.
The bondsman acts as a surety, posting the bail amount on behalf of the defendant in exchange for a non-refundable fee or collateral. By doing so, the bondsman takes on the responsibility of ensuring that the defendant appears in court for all required proceedings. If the defendant fails to appear, the bondsman may be required to pay the full bail amount to the court.
Our bail bondsmen play a critical role facilitating the release of defendants while ensuring they comply with their legal obligations. Get to know our team in Glendale, CA today.
