 What
To Do If You Have Been Arrested
If you can make a bond
(money to secure your release), then you will be released from jail, but
only if you have no other holds. (A hold is a detainer placed on you by
another governmental agency which requires you be held pending clearance
of the hold. Example: If you had unpaid traffic tickets you could be held
in jail until they were paid or you served them out with jail time.) If
you cannot make a bond (or do not qualify for pretrial release), then you
will remain in jail while your case is pending.
If You Are Free On Bond
In many courts if you
have been able to make a bond, then you will be expected to hire an
attorney to represent you. However, in some courts if you can prove that
you are indigent (unable to afford to hire an attorney) then you may
request that the court provide you with a court-appointed lawyer. The
court itself must pay for the services of the court appointed lawyer. The
cost of this representation may be passed unto you at a later time, in the
form of court fees. A court appointed lawyer may be either a private
lawyer who takes court appointments or may be a public defender.
If You Are In Jail
If you are in
jail (incarcerated and unable to make a bond) you may hire your own
attorney or if you can afford one the court will appoint an attorney to
represent you.
If You Are Not A U.S. Citizen
If you are
arrested and you are not a U.S. Citizen, in most cases the INS
(Immigration and Naturalization Service) will place a hold on you. The INS
hold will keep you in jail whether or not you are able to make the
criminal bond or your criminal case is over. The way in which your
criminal case is handled can directly affect your resident status. This
should be one of the main issues you discuss with your attorney. If at all
possible, you should seek the advice of an attorney who specializes in
immigration issues also. You may qualify for an INS bond, this will
require you to post another bond and pay a new premium aside the one you
paid for the criminal case.
What is a Bail Bond
Bail is an amount of money that is required for an
accused person to be released from custody. The bail is deposited with the
County Court in the form of cash or a surety bail
bond. If you are arrested and charged with a crime, you may
be required to post bail before the police will let you go. The bail is a
form of insurance to guarantee that you'll appear in Court for your trial.

Almost every crime are bailable offense's,
exception to certain crimes like capital crimes for which the death penalty
or life imprisonment may be asked.
Who sets the bail?
The amount of bail you'll have to pay is pre-set by the Court. The
County Jail has a standard bail bond schedule for most crimes,
but certain offenses require the defendant to appear in front of a judge
before being allowed to be released, this applies mostly to Domestic
Violence offenses and is referred to as the cooling off period. Other
offenses require the defendant to petition the court to get a bail amount set.
How is Bail set?
If a judge sets your bail the amount of bail you'll have to deposit if you
are arrested is based on several different considerations. The seriousness
of your crime is a factor in determining the amount of bail, and so is your
employment history and ties to the community. Also considered are your past
criminal record, and whether or not you have hired an attorney to represent
you. If you do hire an attorney, it is usually a good indication that you
will appear in Court to defend yourself against the charges brought against
you and may or may not influence the court in their decision on bail.
How much does a bail bond
cost?
The premium on a bail bond is ten percent of the face amount of
the bond. The bonding company serves as a surety, to insure to the Court
that you will appear when you are supposed to. The fee you pay to the
bail bonding company is not returned. It works in much the same way as an
insurance policy premium.
