What is bail?
Bail involves a process in which a defendant is released in exchange for money. This monetary “insurance” ensures the accused will show up for his or her court appearances.

Bail bonds exist because trials can take months or even years to work their way through the court system and bail permits a defendant to be released from jail while awaiting the outcome of the trial.

By making bail, you get to handle your legal problem out of the confinement of jail, as the court can take up to several months to even get started in bringing you to trial!

More Frequently Asked Bail Questions
How much do I have to pay?
The Hawaii standard for a bond is 10% of bail amount. So if the judge sets bail at $50,000, you would need $5,000 to exit police custody, and we’ll take care of the rest.

What if I can’t afford bail?
Unfortunately, judges often like to take hard stands in some cases. They will usually set a fairly high amount for bail involving a charge of driving under the influence, or drunken driving. If you can’t make bail on your own, give us a call. Our surety bonds may be the answer you’re looking for!
What are other factors the judge looks at?
The judge considers if you have a criminal history, or a history of not showing up for court appearances. The judge may also look at whether you are a risk to others, whether you have ties to the community, the stability of residence, work history, and the nature of the crime.
