What Role Does a Bail Bondsman
Surety Company Play?
Many defendants cannot raise the
entire amount of the bail. In some states, the court may release
defendants after they pay ten percent of the bail. In other states,
defendants may arrange for their release through a bail bondsman. In
that case, a defendant typically posts 10 percent of the total bail
and signs over a lien on certain belongings to a bail bondsman or
surety firm representative who guarantees to pay the remainder to the
court if the defendant fails to appear for trial. For more
