What is bail anyway? When one is arrested for a criminal offense, a judge or court will normally set a bail amount. This bail amount is either specifically set by the judge or it is an automatic bail amount depending upon the charge(s). You usually reserve the right to pay the entire bail amount in cash at the jail or court, but many folks elect to spend less money upfront by hiring a bail bondsman to put up the entire bail amount on their behalf. Depending upon the state the bondsman practices in, the bail premium requirement (the amount you pay to the bail bonds company) is either 10% or 15%. Since 2003, Nevada has been a 15% state. Keep in mind that although you won't recieve a refund of the bail premium paid to a bondsman, there certainly are benefits to utilizing a bail agency for your bail needs.
1. You don't risk the full bail money being used as restitution
or to pay the defendant's fines when the case is completed.
2. You won't have to wait months on end for the bail money
to be refunded to you.
3. If the court has all your bail money in cash and the defendant
misses a court date, your money is gone. A bail bondsman
typically won't penalize a cosigner on a bond the entire
amount so long as the defendant makes things right with the
court in an expeditious manner.
4. And most importantly, you don't have to raise a huge amount
of cash upfront to get someone out of jail!
What is that 15% premium I pay to the agency? That premium is the payment for the bondsman's services in posting the bail. Also, by hiring an agent, you avoid paying the full bail amount upfront to the detention center. For example, if the judge sets a defendant's bail at $10,000, the jail will require you to pay the full $10,000 for release of the prisoner. If you hire a bondsman, you would pay them only the $1500. On approved credit, most of our customers don't even need to leave collateral at all!
Do I get that 15% premium back if the case is dropped and/or the defendant fully complies with all court instructions? No, the 15% premium is the bonding company's fee for service. Remember....a bondsman is putting up the full bail amount to get your loved one released. That is a hefty risk as he is "on the hook" for that full amount should the defendant flee, skip court, or fail to comply. Not to mention, if you pay the full amount of bail to the court and the defendant say misses court by accident or is late, you are probably out that full amount automatically. If the same thing happens when a defendant is out on bond with a bail agency, that is not always the case. You're not automatically on the hook for that full amount when he/she misses court as long as all parties are willing to "make things right."
Do I get my collateral or security back? Yes...Assuming the defendant attends all court dates and does not violate the judge's orders, you are entitled to your collateral once the bail agency's liability is exonerated (excused) by the court. Return of this collateral occurs when the bail bond is "exonerated" and no other fees are due to the bonding company.
When do I get my collateral back? You will get it back when the defendant's court case is completed. This happens when any of the following occurs:
As a co-signer, what other factors are there to think about? First and foremost, you need to really know the defendant well to be the "indemnitor" (that's bail bonds talk for co-signer). Although most people do not "skip" court while out on bail, as the indemnitor, you need to have confidence that they'll comply with the court.
What happens if the person I bail out misses court? A bench warrant is issued for the person's arrest and law enforcement agencies view him or her as a fugitive. State bail laws and practices authorize the bail agency to arrest the defendant. Our office will normally call the person and references and convince him or her to appear. If this doesn't help, it may be necessary to hire bounty hunters (also called bail enforcement agents) at added cost.
As the cosigner, you want to convince the defendant either to submit to authorities or courts quickly. Normally, if the defendant makes things right with the court before the company forfeits its bail money, your out-of-pocket costs and risks are minimal.
What if I have outstanding warrants? Do I have to surrender to police and go to jail? Not necessarily....Often, a bail agency can post bond for you in advance to prevent your arrest. This helps if you can't pay the entire warrant because a bondsman will only charge the state-required 15%. We have expert agents that specialize in these types of warrant bonds.
Do I have to pay the full 15%? YES because that is the amount the State of Nevada mandates all companies must charge. It is illegal to charge more OR less than that mandatory 15% fee. However, payment plans can also be approved in many circumstances. Please call for details because you don't always have to come up with the full 15% upfront! Please for your safety and that of your loved ones, please AVOID any Las Vegas bail bonds company that promises to charge you only 10% (or anything less than the state-required 15% for that matter). If they are willing to risk criminal/civil prosecution or get their business shut down by the Nevada Division of Insurance, how do you think they'll treat their customers in the end?
Do you offer bail bonds service in Pahrump, NV? Yes we are definitely qualified to post bail bonds in Pahrump NV.

So you're saying we can't do bail bonds with no money down? No, often times with a qualified co-signer, we can do your loved one's bond with no downpayment. The bail underwriting guidelines can be more strict and vary from case-to-case. Please call our licensed agents for details on that program.

How long is the person held in jail after you post the bond? Release times can vary from jail to jail and also according to a variety of factors: Jail capacity, staff level, conditions of release imposed by the court, etc. (i.e. house arrest requirements and so on). A safe estimate is usually 8-12 hours for the jail to process a release once a bond has been posted. Rarely, it can take up to 48 hours for a facility to process an inmate's release, and sadly it is out of the bondsman's control.
