How it works

  • Arrangements are made though a Bail Bonds company for the release of an inmate. A relative or a family friend contacts the bail agent, before the defendant is released, to arrange for the posting of a bail. The bail agent gets a percentage of the amount decided by the judge for that particular defendant. By signing the agreement with the bail agent regarding posting the bail, the defendant or the co-signer, who might be a relative or a family friend, must provide a guarantee that the bail amount will definitely be paid in full if the defendant fails to appear at the summons. With payment and a cosigner that meets our qualifications, the bond is then posted, and the defendant is released.

  • There are two things that a cosigner needs to bail someone out of jail:

    Valid ID
    Pay Check Stub

    A cosigner must also be a U.S. citizen and must be 21 or older.

  • Arrangements take an average of 15-30 minutes, depending on the case.

  • Cash, Credit or Debit Card, Money Order, Western Union.

  • It depends on the jail. Most inmates take two (4) to six (6) hours from the time arrangements are made with the bonding company.

  • A cosigner, someone willing to sign for the defendant, is responsible for the following three things:

    > To make sure the defendant makes all appearances to court
    > To make sure the defendant notifies 1 Stop Bail Bonds with next court appearances
    > To make sure the premium and all balances are paid (if applicable)

  • The responsibilities of a defendant are the following:

    > Upon being released, the defendant will have 48 hours to report to 1 Stop bail Bonds and complete the necessary paperwork. After completion, the defendant will receive upcoming court date information.

    > The defendant must report all new court dates to 1 Stop Bail Bonds

    > The defendant must show up to all court dates
