Reasons You Need a Bail Bondsman:

How much does a bail bond cost? Depending on several factors, securing a bail bond for someone who has been arrested will cost you between 10-15% of the total amount of bond set. You will not know that amount until the judge sets the bail amount in court, usually the morning after someone has been arrested. So for example, if the judge sets a bond at $5,000, your bail bond payment would be around $500 – $750. But don’t let that number scare you, a lot depends on the circumstances and the qualifications of your co-signer. We’ll always try to work with you on a payment you can afford.
