After an arrest, a judge decides whether the defendant should be assigned a bail and at what amount based on the alleged crime committed and the circumstances that surround it. By paying the bail, a defendant assures the court that they will show up to their trial. Once paid, the court will allow the defendant to go free until then. However, not everyone is able to pay the full amount. Amistad Bail Bonds will help get your loved one out of jail by paying the full bail amount for you. We require only 15% of the bail from you. Keep in mind though that this amount is non-refundable. This is unlike when you pay the bail yourself and get the bail amount back when you show up at court.
