When a person is arrested, they are often given the option to pay bail so that they may get out of jail. The amount of the bail is normally relative to the severity of the crime that person has been charged with. And, with a few exceptions, the amount of bail is usually too high for an individual to pay on their own in its entirety, even with help from family or friends. This is where bailbonds come in, and the usage of such has both benefits and downsides.
Bailbonds are acquired from a bail bondsman who is a person or agency that pays your bail money for you. The obvious benefit to this is that you are then free to leave jail. A potential downside is that in order to obtain bail from a bondsman, you must be able to pay about 10% of the bail cost itself up front to the bondsman as a fee for his service. Depending on what your situation may be, you might not be able to come up with even that much, in which case you won’t be able to bail yourself out of jail. Additionally, you may need a cosigner and there is a chance that you’ll need something to put up as collateral as well, and if you cannot provide one or either of these things, you once again are probably going to be stuck. On the upside, if you can’t provide these things there is a chance that the bondsman will be willing to work with you, depending on the circumstances.
The benefits of using bailbonds in Hartford to be bailed out of jail can include things like being able to continue working and drawing an income and preparing for your court date. You’ll be able to return to your home, which is obviously a preferable place to be. You may be given certain terms that you must follow while you are released but you can otherwise live life as normally as possible. If you follow all of the terms of your release and show up for all of your scheduled court dates, you will have fulfilled your obligation to both the courts and the bail bondsman, at which point no further action will be taken, except the return of any collateral you may have had to put up. The 10% fee you paid up front is not refundable. However, if you break the terms of your release and/or do not show up for all of your court dates, this can lead to more trouble. The bondsman will not have his bail money returned to him from the court, and he will be free to come after you for the money he is owed, generally in the form of a lawsuit. This downside can always be avoided by following through with your end of the bargain.
