Broken Chain Bail Bonds

1. Initial call

Call our office and provide the arresting county, full name of the person in custody, and the booking number if available. We will estimate fees and explain next steps.

2. Paperwork and identification

We complete the bond paperwork on behalf of the defendant and collect any required identification or collateral in a professional, private setting.

3. Coordination with detention

We communicate with the detention facility to verify bond amount and release procedures. This reduces unnecessary waiting for family members and friends.

4. Post-release guidance

After release, our staff outlines court dates, bond conditions, and available payment options so the defendant can comply with legal requirements.

Common fee structure

• Standard non-refundable premium based on state law and bond amount.
• Payment plans available in certain cases after initial down payment.
• Accepted methods: major credit cards, cash, certified check.

We will never initiate a bond until the client or their representative signs the required forms and confirms the payment method.

When an individual cosigns a bond, they accept specific responsibilities. The cosigner is often responsible for ensuring the defendant appears for scheduled court dates. Failure to comply with those obligations can result in revocation of the bond and further legal or financial consequences.

Typical duties include:

• Providing accurate information during intake.
• Maintaining communication with the bail agent regarding court dates.
• Returning the defendant to custody if required by the surety or by court order.

We explain these points clearly before any agreement is signed so the cosigner understands the scope of responsibility.

Compliance with court appearances is the single most important obligation following release. To prepare:

• Confirm the date, time, and location of the hearing with the court clerk.
• Arrange transportation and allow extra travel time.
• Keep all paperwork in one folder: bond receipts, contact information for counsel, and any conditions required by the court.

Missing a court date can lead to bond forfeiture and additional arrest warrants. Our staff will remind clients of key dates when requested.
