Bail and Bondsman

If a person is charged with a criminal offense, he may be allowed to remain free while awaiting trial if he posts bail. This means that he must pledge a certain amount of money or value of property that will be used to guarantee his appearance in court when the trial begins. Bail is forfeited if the defendant fails to return as promised. If he fulfills all of his court obligations, he gets the bail back minus some court fees.

If a defendant lacks money for bail, he can hire a bondsman to serve as his surety. A bondsman usually charges 10% of the bail amount as his fee. Unlike bail, this fee cannot be refunded.
