Circle B Bail Bonds

What is a bail bond?


Upon being arrested, bail is the process of providing money or surety to get out of jail prior to the defendant's scheduled court date. Typically friends and family of the accused serve as a co-signer and contact a bail agency to make arrangements to pay the bail amount. When the defendant makes bail, he or she is still expected to appear in court.



We are available 24/7 to confidentially assist you or your loved one through this often stressful process.

How does a bail bond work?

A bail bond is a written agreement with a surety or bail bondsman, signed by the defendant, assuring that he or she will appear in court for their scheduled hearing. If the defendant fails to do so, the bond can be cancelled, and he or she will be taken into custody.

When "skips" occur

If the defendant "skips" and does not appear in court, the cosigner immediately becomes responsible for the full amount of the bail. Additionally, if the defendant is captured, the cosigner is responsible for the expenses accrued while looking for the defendant.
