The steps of posting San Diego Bail Bonds might seem
to be complicated because they use a complex language that only attorneys can
understand. So, here are a few steps to follow while posting bail:
1.
Setting Bail: The initial
step is to get your bail set, or in other words, have a judge decide how much
your bail is going to be. If you don’t have any criminal record and if your
crime is not a major one, then the judge might set you free “on your own
recognizance” also known as “zero-dollar bail”.
2.
Finding a bail bondsman: Assuming
the bail amount set is bigger, which you can’t pay upfront, your next step is to
find a top-rated bail bonds agency. Because the bail bonds agency will assist
you with the paperwork that can get your bail posted and you are out of jail.
3.
Cash and collateral: Many of
the bail bonds agencies need a 10-15% premium, as well as security to guarantee
that the company won’t get “stuck with the bill” if you don’t show up. You can
expect to pay the percentage of amount upfront and then work with your bail bondsman
to decide the acceptable security that you will sign over such as jewelry, car,
or property. Several bail bonds agencies offer the bonds with a lower premium
and they don’t even demand collateral if the amount is no that big. You need to
research before hiring any bail bonds agency and should work with the one that
offers a better deal.
4.
Posting bail: Once the
payment and security are in order, the bail bonds company will take care of the
paperwork and post it with the court, thereby assuring you a release from jail
and allowing you to walk out the door.
