We understand that the bail process can seem confusing and overwhelming. That’s why we’ve simplified it into five clear steps so you know what to expect at every moment. We’re with you every step of the way
.
1. The Arrest: It all begins when a person is detained.
2. The Initial Hearing: A judge sets the bail amount.
3. The Bail Bond: This is where we step in to help you manage the bail so your loved one can be released.
4. Court Commitment: It’s important to attend all court dates.
5. Case Resolution: The process concludes with the judge’s final decision.
An arrest occurs when a police officer reasonably believes that a person has broken the law. At that point, the suspect is taken into custody and processed before being directed to their cell to await their arraignment.
At the arraignment, the judge will formally announce all charges, while also establishing the “cost of bail”.
Once the bail amount has been set, the defendant is qualified to be released from custody.
Once the verdict is announced, the defendant will be let go or sent back to jail. They may also be instructed to report for their jail term at a later date.
After your loved one has been released on bail, they must appear on time for all court dates.
