Bail Bonds Cumberland MD

After the courts set the bail amount, the defendant has an opportunity to then pay the amount and be free until and during their court proceedings. However, bail is sometimes set so high that it becomes impossible for that person to pay. At that point they enlist a bail bondsman to arrange to have their bail paid. A bail bondsman will make arrangements to pay the full amount of the bail but only after coming to an agreement with the defendant that includes collateral, such as cash, jewelry, property or other assets. Of course, there is a non-refundable fee the defendant must pay the bail bondsman—usually between 10% and 15%. After Hours Bail Bonds in Cumberland, MD is a trusted, respected bail agent.

When someone is accused of committing a crime, what usually follows is an arrest and booking in a local detention center. The criminal defendant is expected to make a statement, be fingerprinted, and have a mug shot taken. Then while they await their trial they become guests of the state in detention center. For most, sitting in a jail waiting for trial to commence might be a financial or other type of hardship. For those who have not been arrested for a dangerous crime they may be afforded the opportunity to pay bail to avoid jail while they await trial.
