Bail is money, a surety bond, or property posted to guarantee a defendant's appearance in court. The right to reasonable bail is guaranteed by the Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
A financial guarantee made on behalf of a defendant to ensure their appearance in court through the end of trial. Failure to appear results in bond forfeiture.
The court sets the bail amount. A bail bond company posts an insurance-backed bond guaranteeing payment if the defendant fails to appear. We charge a premium — typically 10% — though Big Fish offers discounts and payment plans.
Typically 10% of the full bond. Big Fish often does it for as little as 5% down, or offers discounts on larger bonds. Call for a free, confidential quote.
A co-signer is someone willing to be responsible for the defendant while out on bail. They co-assume financial liability if the defendant fails to appear in court.
If a defendant misses a court date, a bench warrant is issued and the court sets a deadline for the defendant's return or full bond payment.
