When Will a Bondsman Use a Bounty Hunter?

How Long Do You Stay in Jail If You Can’t Pay Bail?

Let’s say that you can’t afford to pay your bail, nor can you afford to enlist the help of a bond agency. What happens then? Unfortunately, it means that you have to remain in jail until you’re released.

Our advice is to enlist the help of a public defender who can provide you with options for your specific situation. He or she may be able to work with the judge who would then release you on your own recognizance.

First, it’s important for us to note that for us to start the process of getting your loved one out of jail, we’ll need a bit of information. Generally speaking, we’ll ask for the name of the person who was arrested as well as the name of the jail, the booking number, and the bail amount.

“What Do I Do After Being Released on Bail?”

If you’ve just been released from jail, you might be wondering what to do next. The truth is that there’s no rigid set of rules — except, of course, for not skipping bail. Our advice? Speak with your lawyer regularly. He or she will be able to help you come up with a plan for your situation that ensures that you’re prepared when your court date comes around.

You may know that in the United States, you have the right to a fair and speedy trial. Unfortunately, the legal system is one that can get backed up relatively easy, and depending on the caseload of local judges and attorneys, it can take several months until your trial is held. In other words, you’ll certainly be glad that you called us, because otherwise you’d be sitting in jail awaiting your trial, and no one wants to be in jail for that long.

What else should you do while you’re out? That’s entirely up to you, but we’d also advise taking up a healthy hobby. Whether that means jogging on a beautiful beach or finding some books to read, having an outlet at this point in your life is a wise thing to do. No matter what your new healthy hobby is, investing time in it is sure to be a great decision.

“What Info Do You Need to Process Bonds the Quickest?”

We touched on this question just a bit above, but it’s one of the questions that we get the most regularly. It’s not at all uncommon to be asked what type of info we need. Whether you’re calling us on behalf of a loved one or you are facilitating your own release from jail, knowing what to do can be intimidating. Thankfully, we can help!

In the vast majority of instances, we’ll require a first and last name, the jail the person who was arrested is being held at, the booking number, and the bond amount. We’ll take it from there.

If you don’t have all of that information, don’t worry — simply give us a call and we’d be happy to do some research for you or give you some advice about who to get in contact with. At the end of the day, there’s always a path forward, and we’re happy to help you find it.

“How Much Does It Cost to Get Someone Out of Jail?”

When it comes to Oahu bail bonds, the standard amount for a bond is 10% of the bail amount. In other words, if the bail amount is set at $50,000, you would pay us $5,000 (taking advantage of our flexible payment plans, of course) and we’d cover the additional $45,000 required for the person who was arrested to exit police custody.

Although the amount of bail varies from situation to situation, we always have options to suit the needs of our clients. For example, we offer up to a 20% discount when you pay in full. We also offer zero interest for most cases. At the end of the day, we believe that our clients deserve to have options, and that’s what we provide.

There are a number of factors that a judge will consider when setting bail, so although we can’t tell you the amount that bail will be for a particular crime, we can tell you that the standard amount you’d pay us is 10%.

“Will I Get Bail Money Back?”

That leads us to our next question, and it’s one that many people want the answer to. The answer is that it depends. So what does it take to get your bail money back? Generally speaking, if you bail your loved one out of jail with cash, as long as he or she attends all court dates, you’ll get that money back. Of course, that means the opposite is true as well. If your loved one makes the decision to skip bail and not attend court dates, you’ll be out the money, and your loved one will have a warrant issued for his or her arrest.

There’s more to it than that, of course, but those are the most common scenarios. If you have a question about whether you’ll get money back for your specific situation, don’t hesitate to contact our team, because we’d be glad to provide you with all of the information you need.
