Paying a bondsman to cover most of the defendant’s bail does come with a risk.
The only risk involved is the defendant not showing up to court.
You see, when the case is closed, the money put down by the bondsman is returned to the insurance company we work with. If the defendant doesn’t return to court to close the case, then the money is not released back. And we know these insurance companies want their money!
So, what happens next after a missed court date is a chance to get a new court date. If a new court date isn’t created or if it’s missed as well, then a debt is owed. After signing our e-contract, you can see that the bill and debt will fall onto either the indemnitor or the defendant themselves, unless the defendant surrenders back to court or corrects their court date.
This entire mess can be avoided if the defendant shows up to court. So, let’s plan for that, shall we?
