Bail and Bondsman

An individual charged with a crime in Allegan County can be released from custody/jail through the process of bail. Bail is the money or value of property that you pledge to the court as collateral for the release of a pretrial inmate. This helps ensure that the defendant will show up on all of his scheduled court dates. Failure to do so means forfeiting the bail.

A defendant who cannot afford the bail amount set by the court can hire a bondsman to help them get released from jail. A bondsman charges 10% of the bail amount as his fee which is non-refundable. Once hired, he will sign a bond with the court, promising payment if the defendant fails to show up as promised.
