Wayne County Bail Bonds

The Wayne County Bail Bond System

If you are in Wayne County and have a loved one who has been arraigned with a bail set higher than you can afford you may still have them released from custody with the help of a bail bondsman. Wayne County bail bonds agencies will work with families to create a bail bond that will release your loved one from custody pending their trial. The following points should help walk you through the process:

• Wayne County bail bond agencies are open twenty-four hours a day. In keeping with the rights guaranteed citizens under the Constitution of the United States jails must remand an individual who can post their bail bond regardless of the time of day (or night) it is posted. Time of day should not stop you if you are trying to bring home your loved one. Bail bond agencies are used to picking people up at 3:00 am.
• You will be required to provide 10-15% of the amount of bail set. This amount is usually standard at 10% but in unusual cases (priors or flight risk) the amount may be higher. Wayne County bail bonds agencies typically will take cash, check, charge, and/or collateral to secure the bond.
• The bail bonds agency will have additional stipulations involving the bail bond, among them include: a fixed address with working phone for the defendant to reside in, daily check-ins and constant contact, and that the individual isolate themselves from anyone associated with crime or criminal behavior. In many cases they will appear as a character witness in court.
• Property received in collateral will be returned once the individual appears in court as required, but fees remain with the bondsman or bond agency. Bail bonds agencies are putting a bond on the full amount with the courts. When an individual does not show up in court the bail bonds agent must assume the full amount, therefore this fee covers their costs, the risks associated with covering large amounts, picking up and dropping off costs, and the daily communication and time spent with defendants prior to trial
• If an individual does not return to court on the day they are required by law to appear and he or she does not have an adequate reason or has decided to jump bail rather than stand trial all money and collateral is now forfeit to the bail bonds agency and, if necessary, all fees associated with any bounty hunters that may be solicited for the fugitive’s return are added to that amount. If, however, an individual has a good reason the agency usually works with the courts to prevent any penalties from occurring.
• Bail bonds agencies are highly knowledgeable and give excellent advice on navigating the court system. Ask them as many questions as possible while awaiting trial. Since they are always at the courts or jailhouses they can usually tell you about the various personalities involved.
