If you have been charged with a crime in Miami-Dade County, you may be eligible for a bail bond. A bail bond is a form of collateral that is used to secure the release of a defendant from custody. Bail bonds are typically issued by bail bond agencies, which are licensed by the state.
If you are unable to post bail, you may be able to finance your bail bond through a bail bond agency. Bail bond agencies typically charge a non-refundable fee, which is typically 10% of the bail amount. For example, if your bail is set at $10,000, you would be responsible for paying the bail bond agency $1,000.
It is important to note that if you fail to appear for your court date, the bail bond agency will likely forfeit the bail bond and you will be responsible for the full bail amount. As such, it is important to make sure that you have a solid plan in place to ensure that you will be able to make all of your court appearances.
