Payment plans are available on the majority of bonds — we structure the terms around what your household can actually carry.

Appearance FAQ

Answers on appearance bonds.

A cash bond requires the full face value in cash. A surety-backed bail bond uses our license to post the full amount for a set premium — cheaper up front, and refundable collateral only where needed.

No. The premium is the non-refundable fee for the surety risk we carry. Collateral is returned when the case closes and the defendant has appeared.

Ask about a payment plan. Most bonds qualify — we structure a schedule around your household.
