First, determine how much bail you will need to pay bail. This is usually set by the judge, and is based on the defendant’s previous criminal record as well as the seriousness of the crime, among other things.

Once the bail amount has been determined after which the defendant, or their representativeof the defendant, like a family member or a bail bond agent can post the bail by paying the full amount in cash to the court with a bail bonds service.

A bail bond service allows the defendant to pay a non-refundable cost, typically 10 percent of total bail, to a bail bondman who will then post the bail on their behalf. The bail bond agent is responsible for ensuring that the defendant appears in court when necessary.

Note that bail is not the guarantee that you will be released. If the court believes the defendant to be an imminent flight risk or the offense is excessively serious, the court could deny bail. It isn’t easy to make bail payments, which is why you should seek the assistance from a bail bondsman who is a specialist or an attorney.
