There is certain information that a bail agent will need in order to help you:

Where is the person in custody? (Make sure that you ask the person in custody where they are located including the city, state, and the name of jail).

What is the full name and booking number of person in jail? The bail agent will need this information in order to contact the jail. The bail agent can get the booking number for you if you forgot or if it was not available.

How much is the bail? The bail agent will get this information when they contact the jail if you do not have it. With the bail amount, the bail bondsman can tell you the amount it will cost to post a bond and requirements to get the person out of jail.

There are remedies that can be done here as well, contact the bondsmen as soon as possible so that they can discuss your option in full detail with you.

Once the defendant is back in custody the bond can be surrendered and your liability will be terminated. There are a few problems here: if you decided to surrender the bond you will lose the premium that was paid, and if you decided to get the defendant out on bond again, you will now have to post two new bonds and pay the premium on both bonds again.

The purpose of a Bail Bond is to allow an accused person to be released from jail and to guarantee to the court that the person being released on the bail bond will make all of their required court appearances.

A bail bondsman acts on behalf of the accused. The bondsman will secure the funds needed (the bail bond) to free them from jail. The bondsman will communicate with family and friends and gather everything needed to release the defendant from jail. The bail bondsman finances the bail bond for a ten percent fee. Doing this guarantees the person will present themselves in court.

A bail bond agent, also known as a bail bondsman, help to ease the financial burden for persons that cannot meet the amount set. The bail agent will put down the money for the bail in exchange for the defendant providing a certain percentage of the bail amount.

The agent is responsible for making sure that all the requirements are met and posting the bail so that the defendant can be released. The jail has strict procedure and will not allow anyone to be released if the proper conditions have been met.

For example, if a person is accused of a crime and the bail is set at $50,000, the person and their family may not have $50,000 to pay the court. They will approach a bail bondsman, who will then go to the court and accept liability for the money if the person does not appear at court. The bail bonds agent will usually require that the defendant give them a certain percentage of the bail in cash or assets to ensure that they will appear at court. If the defendant does not appear, then the bond agent will have to pay the court the $50,000.
