Bail and Bondsman
According to Rule-7.2 (Right to release on one’s personal recognizance or on bond), any defendant who has been charged with a bailable offense can get a release from police custody during his or her trail on his or her personal recognizance or an appearance bond. If the magistrate or the court assumes that such release will not ensure the future appearance of the defendant or if he or she is a real danger to the public, then the court or the magistrate can rule out the release order and impose Rule-7.3. This will bring onerous condition on the defendant. If you cannot afford to pay the bail money by yourself, you should obtain the services of a bail and bondsman. A verified bail and bondsman would post the bail money for you and charge at least $100 as their premium.
