Why is a bail bond required?

A bail bond is required by the court to ensure the defendant’s attendance at court proceedings. A bail bond is a monetary guarantee issued on behalf of the defendant by a bail bondsman.

If the defendant attends all of his or her court appointments, including the arraignment, no action against the bond will be taken.

If the defendant fails to appear in court, the judge will forfeit the bail, and the court will issue a judgment against the defendant.

Is collateral necessary when obtaining a bail bond?

We don’t usually require a collateral. In most cases, the signature of the defendant and the co-guarantor is enough. This is called a recognizance bond or signature bond.

The signature will serve as a legal guarantee that the defendant will adhere to the bail bond’s terms, which include appearing in court until the case is resolved.

But before we can grant someone a recognizance bond, the person must first meet a set of criteria. Some of which are as follows:

• The defendant has a steady job or can show evidence of income.
• Once released, the defendant is unlikely to depart the jurisdiction.
• The defendant has never been convicted of a crime.
• A minor felony charge has been leveled against the defendant.
• The defendant has a good credit rating.
• The defendant poses no danger to the public.
