What is Obstruction?Obstruction or commonly "obstructing a public officer" is a misdemeanor here in the Las Vegas area. The bail is usually set at or slightly above $1,000 depending on the jurisdiction (i.e. Las Vegas, County, North Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City, Goldfield, Pahrump, etc.)

Do I pay the you or the jail $1,000?No, by using a Las Vegas bail bondsman, you will avoid paying the full $1,000+ to the court in cash. Call us, and it usually qualifies for "bail by phone," and pay only 15% of the obstruction bail bond. A $50 additional filing fee is normally required by the court, so the total fee should be right around $200.

Then What?,If the defendant can sign for him or herself, your part is done! If not, you may need to fill out nominal paperwork and financially back up the face amount of the bond. We can fax or email the paperwork if you don't want to come down to the office within 48 hours.
