When an individual is arrested for a crime, the person is typically taken to a local detention facility for booking prior to incarceration. Bail is set based on the charges for which they were arrested.

Each county has set bail amounts for each offense. Once arrested and booked, the defendant has several options for release pending the conclusion of his or her case.

A Bail Bond is an insurance policy that is exchanged for the release of the person from custody. The Bond is also a guarantee by Gia Martinez Bail Bonds and the indemnitor (co-signer) that the defendant will appear in court for each court date the judge sets.

The Bail system is designed to guarantee the timely appearance of a defendant in court. Bail is also a guarantee policy for the state that the defendant will appear to face charges.

The cost of a Bail Bond is 10% of the bail amount. This amount/rate is regulated by the Department of Insurance.

There is, however, a 20% discount to those who qualify. Some qualifying examples are: Retaining an Attorney or Union Worker, etc.

Further, the legal intent of release on Bail is NOT to relieve the defendant of obligations, it is the retention of control over the defendant to the end that justice might be administered.
