If a loved one has been arrested and put in jail, then you will want to get him out as soon as possible. Shortly after someone is put in jail for a crime, an arraignment takes place. That is when the accused offender appears before a judge and hears the charges against him. The judge asks whether the accused wants to make a plea of guilty or not guilty. It is after the plea is determined, the judge may set bail so that the accused can go home.
A bail bondsman is who you should call if you live in the Pontiac area. When you call the bond office you will simply need to provide the bondsman with basic information about your loved one that is incarcerated. Be prepared to tell him the following information: The full legal name and date of birth; the location of the jail; a list of the charges against him; the amount of the bail or bond; and a contact number for you (The bondsman may need to talk with you again)
There are some things you should be aware of when utilizing the services of a bail bondsman. First, the service is a business. Therefore, you will have to pay a fee for the bondsman to post bail or bond to have your loved one released. Secondly, you may have to furnish some type of collateral. This may be because of the total of the set bail may be high and/or whether or not the accused is a flight risk. Collateral can be in the form of lien on your home or car. Be sure you know the person you are helping is trustworthy and will not run away leaving you holding the bag, so to speak.
