How Bail Bonds Work

A bail bondsman can provide a bond for a percentage of that amount—typically around 10%—allowing you to secure release.

Even in the most difficult times, you deserve a reliable and efficient bail bond service that prioritizes your needs. At Aldridge Bail Bonds, we understand the importance of swift action and compassionate support when dealing with the complexities of the bail process.
1. Initial Contact
Begin by contacting Aldridge Bail Bonds, available 24/7 to assist you. During this step, you’ll discuss the details of the defendant’s situation, including the charges, location of detention, and bail amount. This initial conversation helps establish the best course of action.
2. Case Evaluation
After the initial contact, the bondsman will gather all necessary information about the case, including the defendant’s background and court requirements. This assessment helps determine the bond eligibility and any additional conditions that may apply.
3. Bond Agreement
Once the assessment is complete, you’ll be presented with a bond agreement outlining the terms, responsibilities, and payment options. After reviewing, you’ll sign the agreement and provide the required collateral or fees to secure the bond.
4. Posting Bail
With the bond agreement signed and payments made, Aldridge Bail Bonds will post the bail with the court. This officially sets the legal process in motion and signals the court that the bail conditions have been met.

After bail is posted, the defendant will be processed for release, which can take anywhere from a few hours to a day depending on the detention facility.

FAQs
How much does a bail bond cost?
The cost of a bail bond is typically 10-15% of the total bail amount set by the court. This fee is non-refundable and varies depending on factors like the severity of the charges. Additional fees for processing and documentation may also apply.
Are there flexible payment options for bail bonds?
Yes, many bail bond companies offer flexible payment plans. This allows you to pay the premium over time instead of all at once, making it easier to manage your expenses during a challenging time.
What happens if I miss a court date?
Missing a court date can lead to serious consequences, including the issuance of a bench warrant for your arrest and the forfeiture of your bail bond. The bail bondsman may also be required to pay the full bail amount to the court and seek repayment from you or your co-signers.
Can missing court affect my ability to get a future bail bond?
Yes, failing to appear in court raises concerns about your reliability and may make it harder to secure a bail bond in the future. It could also lead to additional legal charges and complications in your case.
What are the long-term consequences of not attending court?
Beyond immediate legal issues, missing court appearances can negatively impact your criminal record, affecting employment opportunities and other aspects of your personal life. It’s essential to stay proactive and attend all court dates to protect your legal standing.
