When a person is arrested for a crime, they are detained in jail until their court date, until the judge releases them to go on their own recognizance i.e. allowing the defendant to release from custody without posting bail or until they are set free on bail. Bail is a set amount of money that a defendant gives to the court to confirm that he or she will show up in court for their hearing. Defendants have the choice to pay their bail in cash but most of them are financially unable to do this and they seek help from a bail agent who posts a bail bond for them. The bail agents act as a guarantee, telling the court that they will pay the total bond amount should the defendant fail to appear at court.
What Should I know before Hiring a Bail Bond Agent in Forsyth County?
When your loved one goes to jail, you need to ensure you appoint the right bond agent. Don’t just contact the first agent you come across the internet but take time and do your research as it can save you a lot of problems down the road. Realizing what separates a good bond agent from a bad one is vital in choosing the right bond professional for your needs.
Here a couple of things to consider:
- How long is the company in business?
- Does the company have good customer ratings online?
- Are the agents licensed and honest?
- Are the agents available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?
- Do the agents answer your questions thoroughly and compassionately?
- Do the agents provide a written contract that includes fees, payment terms, payment schedules, interest rate if applicable, as well as how much a defendant will owe if they don’t appear for their court date?
It is advised to speak with a bail bond agent’s previous satisfied clients as well as read testimonials before deciding upon which one to hire.
