WHY DO YOU NEED A BAIL BOND

If  you are arrested and accused of a crime, you may have to spend time in jail until your court appearance.  Your other option is to post bail via a Surety Bail Bond.  Delaware, like most localities have bail schedules which specify bail amounts for some common crimes.


Delaware Municipal Court Arraignments for Misdemeanor Charges and for some initial Felony Charges for the Common Pleas Court are held Monday thru Friday at 10:00am.

Delaware Common Pleas Arraignments for Felony Charges are held Monday thru Friday usually by a Magistrate.  Please call us and we will be happy to check the times for you.

Delaware Municipal Court Bonds can be posted in Delaware with the Clerk of Courts from 8am-4:30pm Mon-Fri and after hours until at least Midnight Sun-Thurs, Sat & Sun mornings at the Delaware Police Department)

Delaware Common Pleas Bonds can only be posted 8:00am-4:00pm Monday thru Friday ONLY with the Clerk of Courts....ONLY after Entries have been received from the Judge's Office can we actually post a bond.

HOW MUCH DO BAIL BONDS COST?

Bail varies by state but the Bond cost in Ohio is 10% of that set by the Court.  If a Judge orders bail set at $10,000, the cost of the Bail Bond is $1,000.  If you do not have the money to pay for the bail yourself, if your are retired or simply don't want to disclose personal financial matters then EMERGENCY BAIL BONDS can post a Bond for you.  If you need help, we may have an affordable payment plan available.

How much is it going to cost to post bail?  The Judge sets the bail amount and the defendant then must pay a percentage to the Court for their release. In order to pay the Court directly they must meet credit/qualifications of the Clerk or use a Bail  Bonding Company.  EMERGENCY BAIL BONDS will get the defendant released with a bail bond and the promise that the defendant will show up for their next court appearance.  We will then set you up on an easy pay plan to repay the bond.
                                                                                                                                            
Along with the required 10% for the bail bond, there will be a "court/state fee" collected by the Agent.  This fee is usually $54 for Misdemeanor Cases and $85 for Felony Cases.  There may also be a $25 "reparation fee" for the Public Defender.

The Agent may also charge a "travel fee" depending upon the time of day and/or distance traveled...and..."transaction fees" for any payments made with a credit/debit card.  (ALL FEES WILL BE ITEMIZED ON A NUMBERED RECEIPT)
