A bail bond is a type of surety bond that helps secure a defendant’s release from custody while their criminal case moves forward. A licensed bail bond agent posts the bond on the defendant’s behalf in exchange for a premium and, when required, collateral or other security.
When a court sets bail, a defendant or someone acting on their behalf can contact a licensed bail bond agent. The agent works with the person arranging the bond to complete the necessary paperwork and post the bond so the defendant can be released, subject to the conditions of the bond.
Bail is the amount set to secure a defendant’s release. A bail bond is one way of securing that release through a licensed bail bond agent rather than paying the full bail amount directly.
