How does a bail bond work?
A bail bond allows an accused individual to await trial at home rather than staying in jail. The bail bondsman backs the bond. In return, the client pays a small fee for the bail bonds service.
Why should I use a bail bondsman instead of paying bail myself?
Posting bail can be expensive. By using a bail bondsman, you only need to pay a small fee, which is much less than the full bail amount. The bail bond agent will assume the risk if the accused fails to appear in court, making it a safer and more affordable option.
Do I need to pay anything upfront for a bail bond?
Yes, there is an initial fee to be paid to the bail bondsman, but this is only a fraction of the full bail amount. At 1st CLASS Bail Bonds, we offer affordable rates and flexible payment plans to make the process easier for you. Colleterial may be necessary up front depending on the nature of the case.
What should I do if I need bail bonds quickly?

What should I bring when meeting with a bail bondsman?
When meeting with a bail bondsman, it’s helpful to have the arrestee’s full legal name, the jail where they’re being held, and the amount of bail set. Having this information ready can speed up the process of securing bail.

Yes, if there’s a warrant for your arrest, you can arrange for bail before you turn yourself in. At 1st CLASS Bail Bonds, we can assist in making these arrangements so you spend less time in custody.
