법정 보석금 구하는 방법 How to Make Bail > 가정서비스

Get arrested and charged with a crime. You will be required to post bail before the police will let you go. Bail is set by a judge to guarantee that a defendant will appear when required. The more likely it is that a person is dangerous or a flight risk, the higher the bail will be.

Have your lawyer try to convince the judge to release you on your own recognizance before you buy a bond or post bail.

Get out of jail the most economical way by posting the full amount of the bail in cash. If you can pay the full bail amount, you don't need to hire a bail bondsman and you save 10 percent of the bail amount. When the case is concluded, all of the cash is returned (minus a small administrative fee).

Hire a bail bonds company, or have a friend, lawyer or relative do it for you. Bail agents' phone numbers are almost always posted in the jail, and offices are probably located across the street or near the courthouse. (You can also look under "Bail Bonds" in the Yellow Pages.) A bail bond is a kind of guarantee that you'll appear in court for your trial. You pay 10 percent of your bail to the bondsman, and the bondsman pays 100 percent of your bail to the court. (If bail is set at $100,000 and you need a bond, it'll cost you $10,000.) When you appear in court the bondsman gets his or her 100 percent back and keeps your 10 percent. If you don't show up in court the bondsman loses 90 percent of the bail and sends a goon after you to break your kneecaps. Simple.

Make sure you deal only with a licensed bail agent. Ask to see his or her license and identification prior to paying for the bond. Also, make sure you are given itemized receipts for all charges, and copies of all signed contracts and agreements.

Use your property, stocks, money market accounts and other assets as collateral if you don't have the cash to buy a bond. You can sometimes arrange a payment plan, depending on your credit history.
