If your loved one has been charged with a crime he or she has a right to post bail. Bail is the Constitutional right to post a sum of money with the Court in exchange for immediate release from jail with a promise by the defendant to appear and attend all Court hearings.

Some of the factors used to determine an appropriate bail amount include the person's prior criminal record (if any), their length of residence in the community, family or business ties to the community, employment history, the seriousness of the charge, and the defendant's financial ability to post bail.

If the court imposes a cash bond then the entire amount of bail must be paid in cash, if it is a surety bond, a bond agency can be used to help. A bond agency will typically require a bonding fee, usually around 10%, and in turn post the full amount of bond with the court.

For example: if your bond is set at $10,000 you may be able to hire a bondsman who would charge you $1,000 and in turn they would post the bond with the court.

There may also be other options to bond which include making a request with the Court for a reduced bond.

You may also request a relase to pre-trial services or placement on work release in lieu of having to pay any bond fees. This is usually done with the help of an attorney.
