Call any one of the bail bondsmen listed in the yellow pages of the phone book. The defendant and a cosigner will be required to sign the bond agent's contract. If the defendant misses a court date, you may be expected to help the bondsman find the defendant, to pay the bondsman's expenses for finding the defendant, and to pay the full amount of the bond if the defendant cannot be found. You will not get the surety bond fee or the Sheriff's fee back. Whether you get the rest of your money or your collateral back depends on what you and your bondsman agreed to in the contract.
Every contract is different.
Because using your property as bond is complicated, please call your attorney. Never bond someone out of jail if you cannot afford to lose that money or if you can't afford to wait for several months to get it back. Remember, even if the defendant makes all court appearances, the Court can use the cash bond to pay fines and fees. In the world of bonding people out of jail, there are no guarantees .
