How long does release take after bail is posted?
Timing is controlled by the jail and depends on how busy it is, so we cannot promise an exact time.

Once bail is set, we post the bond quickly and stay in touch while the jail completes the release.

What information do I need before I call?
It helps to have the defendant’s full name, the jail or facility where they are being held, and the bond amount if you have it. If you do not have everything yet, call anyway. We can help you find the details and get started.
Can someone cosign the bond, and will I need collateral?
In many cases a family member, friend, or other responsible adult can cosign. We will explain exactly what that means before anything moves forward. For qualified cosigners, most bonds do not require collateral or a credit check.
