Fulfilling Your Obligations
The right to post bond is provided by the 8th Amendment of the Constitution. In order to exercise that right, the defendant must agree to fulfill the obligations and requirements stipulated by the court. First and foremost, the defendant must agree to appear at any and all hearings or meetings scheduled by the court. They must remain in contact with the court as well as their bail bonds agent in terms of reporting any changes to employment or contact information. In some cases, the defendant may have to attend drug and alcohol, parenting, or anger management classes.
If the defendant fails to fulfill his or her obligations in any way, the court may choose to revoke their bond. If this occurs, an arrest warrant is issued and the defendant is returned to the jail, the amount of the bond that has been paid is then returned to the bail bonds agent. Once the defendant fails to appear or fulfill his or her obligations to the court, it may be difficult for them to obtain a bail bond in the future. The agents of Riverside Bail Bonds work with the defendant to ensure they understand and are willing to comply with the guidelines put forth by the court. Once the defendant's case has been completed and their obligations released by the court, any money that is owed to the co-signer of the bond will be returned. This part of the process can take anywhere from 60 to 90 days, depending on how the bond was secured. Our goal as a professional bail bonds agency is to remain with the defendant throughout the entire process.

What You Should Expect to Pay For
As you probably already know, bail can be very expensive. First, we will talk about your different options, and then we will try to cover what you should expect to pay. There are many different types of bail bonds and all are used for various types of charges. Fortunately, if you choose to take your business to Riverside Bail Bonds, we are familiar with every type of bond you could possibly need. This includes, but is not limited to, domestic violence bonds, cash bonds, prostitution bonds, property bonds, immigration bonds, and surety bonds. Our agents will gather all of the information relating to your case and determine exactly what type of bond you will need. We can navigate the complexities of the bail bond procedures so that you don’t have to.
Your first option in handling a bail fee is to simply pay it in full upfront. For some people, this fee may not exist if they are released on their own recognizance. This is when a judge decides that the charge is minor, such as a common misdemeanor, and the defendant poses no threat against the community or risk of fleeing jurisdiction of the courts. However, this situation is rare and there if often some sort of bail fee, even if it is not that high. What usually happens, is the bail is posted via an agreed set amount for specific crimes and this bail can only be paid in full or as a bail bond. Because bail can cost thousands of dollars or more, it is not reasonable to pay it in full upfront. In today’s economy, it can be a challenge to even pay the monthly bails. Yet, courts keep bail posted high to prevent defendants from becoming a flight risk. Thus, even if you are financially stable, it is highly recommended that you avoid paying bail upfront, even if it may seem like a faster process.
Your second, and most feasible option, is the surety bond. A surety bond, also known as a bail bond, is the most affordable option in getting your loved one home. With a surety bond, a co-signer is required, and you are only paying a percentage of the entire bail to a bail agent who will fill the application out with you and then take the full amount to post bail and release the defendant. In California, it is state mandated that this percentage is set at exactly 10% unless referred by an attorney in which case an 8% fee could be negotiated. Now, this fee is not refundable in order for the bail agent to make a living, but the benefit of avoiding the financial hardship of a full bail fee is worth the small cost. This is the fastest, most affordable, most efficient option for the average individual. Going even further, Riverside Bail Bonds offers a wide range of in-house financing options to make the premium more affordable to all people. We are more than happy to accept cash, credit/debit, check, money order, cashier check, and in some cases property.
A final resort, if you cannot afford the surety bond, is to take out a property bond. Unlike surety bonds, property bonds are secured with property and cannot be passed on to another person. Property can qualify as anything of value ranging from automobiles to realty but can even be jewelry or various other valuables. The value of the property that is used to secure a bond must be worth one and a half times the value of the bond. This overage is necessary to ensure there is no fees left unpaid for that come along with the additional paperwork that is involved with a property bond. Keep in mind that property bonds take far longer to process as there is a greater amount of paperwork that is needed. Being that a bail bond’s purpose is to get a discharge at a faster rate, the property bond is far less effective than most options. Thus, it is recommended to get a surety bond when possible. However, there are special circumstances when a property bond is needed.
In Need of an Immigration Bond?
An immigration bond can be secured with cash or a surety bond but is most often secured with a property bond. Immigration bonds are typically secured with property simply because it is a great way for courts to ensure that the defendant will remain in The United States until they have resolved all of their legal responsibilities. Cases pertaining to immigration will be dealt with by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). A property bond must have a co-signer but cannot be transferred to another person. For instance, if the co-signer decides they do not want their property used as collateral any longer, the bond will be revoked, and the property will be released. However, if the defendant flees court and is not returned to jail, the bond will be forfeited by the judge and the property will be seized. This property is then sold at auction and used to cover the bail fee and any withstanding restitutions. The remaining funds will be returned to the co-signer.
