About us

Bonding out of jail starts when a bail bond agent is contacted and the necessary case information is reviewed. After the eligibility is established, the bond is pledged with the jail in the name of the defendant. Subsequently, the jail starts its inmost discourse proceedings, as they consist of verification, record updating, and administrative processing. The overall timing may differ due to workload in the facility and the speed of each step.

First option is to pay the full amount of the bond in CASH plus a filing fee that goes straight to the jail. For example, if you had a friend or loved one in jail at the Arapahoe County Jail in Centennial, CO on a $3,000 cash or surety bond. You could secure their freedom/release by giving the Jail the $3,000 CASH plus a filing fee in Arapahoe County of $10 for a total of $3,010.00.

Second option is after the bond is set, the qualified Cosigner or person willing to be responsible for the bond(s) contacts one of our friendly & professional bail bondsman to assist you for pennies on the dollar. By hiring a bondsman continuing with the example above calling for a $3,000 cash or surety bond. You would pay cash which is called Premium for the bond in the amount of up to 15% (Colo. Statute limit) of the bond amount in cash, credit, by using property or if you do not have all of the premium we could even do a payment plan depending on the bond amount (pay plans not available on bonds lower than $3,100). There is still a filing fee applied for each bond. So a $3,000 cash or surety bond would cost you up to $450 plus the filing fee of $10 in Arapahoe County for a total of $460. Now the State limit is 15%, however, if the co-signer is using Collateral the pricing will typically get better. In other words, depending on the collateral pledged by the co-signer the price could come down as low as $290 plus the filing fee of $10 for a total of $300. Third option is after the bond is set, and the Court includes the option to use property to post the bond which is usually available when bond amount is $10,000 or greater the bond is set as a $10,000 CASH/PROPERTY/OR SURETY BOND. In this case the Cosigner could pledge a Home or some REAL property with the Court and the Court placing a lien on the Co-Signers home in the amount of the bond plus the jail filing fee to secure the persons freedom/release.

Fourth option is in setting the bond the Judge decides to give the person in jail a Personal Recognizance bond or a P.R. bond and allow them to essentially sign and be released.

In choosing a bail bondsman Golden in CO, look for clarity, reliability and experience in the area. An effective bondsman must be readily approachable and illustrate the procedure without remonstration or stress. Availability is also a factor since there can be any circumstances. Familiarity with the local jail system and the local court procedure could serve to facilitate a smoother process and prevent unnecessary delays.

Bail bond fee is not usually refundable since it shows the service fee of posting the bond and handling of this process. This fee includes coverage of risk and labor in ensuring release. Nevertheless, when collateral is involved, it is normally refunded at the end of the case, when all the court requirements are met as per the agreement terms.

The process of the bonding itself is quite fast when all the necessary information is supplied and accepted. The time of releases, however, is at the will of the internal system of the jail. The time taken can be influenced by factors like staffing, the number of inmates and speed of processing. Some of them get released very quickly and others can take time before releasing.

The co-signer has to demonstrate fiscal responsibility and capability to fund the bail agreement. This typically involves legitimate identification and demonstration of stability, e.g. income or work history. The reason is to make the co-signer realize what kind of responsibility he/she is assuming and is capable of providing in case of a court proceeding.

In the event of charges being dropped or the case being dismissed the bond procedure happens in its normal legal format. There is no refund on service fee as the bond arrangement has been done. But when any collateral is given then that is usually released once the court formally terminates the case and says that there are no outstanding duties.

Collateral is any valuable property that has been used to get a bail bond agreement. This can be in the form of property, vehicles and other items that are financial in nature. It is like a kind of security measure in order to guarantee requirements of the courts. In case of default of the defendant, the collateral could be affected depending on the terms of the agreement.

CASH. Cash can function as collateral as well. For example, if someone needed a $5,000 bond and they had no collateral they may be required to put up SOME cash collateral. The bail company may ask for $500 cash collateral in addition to the premium charged. However, unlike the premium the $500 cash collateral would be returned in full to the cosigner’s upon the cosigners provided proof that the case/bond has been released. Home or Real Property. The home or real property to be pledged via a deed of trust may be in Colorado or outside of Colorado just so the property to be used is not currently situated in a Homestead State. Colorado is NOT a homestead State. The bail company will place a lien on the home to the extent of the bond and the lien will remain in place until the bond is fully released which means the case made it to a final disposition. Jewelry. We have jewelry appraisers that will appraise the jewelry and we allocate the amount as collateral. Upon the closing of the case and release of the bond the jewelry is returned to cosigner(s). See below how jewelry can be used to pay the premium on the bond. Credit/Debit Card Collateral. We would not charge the card until and ONLY if the defendant fails to appear or fails to pay all premium as agreed. If you have a valid credit/debit bank card call us for details on how this CAN be used as a form of collateral.
Auto Title. If the cosigner has an original, GREEN TITLE to a vehicle meaning the property is fully paid off and the Title is in the name(s) of the cosigner(s) and the vehicle in question is in good working condition with a current registration and valid proof of insurance it could be pledged as collateral. Now the amount of Collateral allocated to the pledged property will also vary. Obviously the value that will be allocated will be directly tied to the year, make & model as well as the current condition of the vehicle being pledged. We give 0 (zero) value to non-registered and non-working or driving vehicles.
Un Secured-Lines-of-credit. A portion of a credit line may be used a collateral. Bank Account and/or Annuity Accounts. These may be used as collateral to the extent of the bond(s) being posted.

es, we can have payment plans based on the situation. These plans are not rigid and they are reconsidered according to distinct and particular situations. The aim is to ensure the process is easily manageable yet complies with all the legal requirements. This aids in alleviating financial strain and at the same time, the bond can be easily processed.

The Qualified Co-signer would have to enter into an agreement with bail company agreeing to see to it that all outstanding premiums to be paid over a future period of time are fully paid as agreed AND …… Put down as much as possible at the time the full amount of the bail is posted by the bondsman (the down payment must be at least 50% or half of the required bail premium). For example, if someone had a $20,000 bond a co-signer would have to put down at least $1,250 on the premium and agree to pay installments on specific dates until all outstanding premiums are paid in full. Because the qualified co-signer is borrowing premium funds by using a payment plan, the pay plan must be strictly followed. Any defaults or failure to comply with payment plan terms could result in the re-arrest of the defendant. All payments must be made as agreed.

Self employed individuals will be eligible to be co-signers but they might be asked to provide further income evidence. This may contain bank statements, tax records or business records. This is primarily concerned with financial dependability and capability to accept the bargain instead of the conventional employment.

Even the unemployed people can be regarded as dependent depending on their general financial status. They may be eligible in case they are able to demonstrate stability in terms of savings, assets or by other means. Every case is analyzed on a case basis, then leeway is given on overall responsibility and not employment status itself.

The bail is a financial guarantee which permits temporary freedom of prison as the legal case proceeds. It will make the defendant show up in all the necessary hearings in court. Failure to fulfill court requirements may lead to legal repercussions. The system assists in balancing between release and accountability.

Yes, co-signers do not have to be located within Colorado. A lot of work, such as checking and documentation, can be carried out remotely. This still requires proper identification and approval, but physical location bar not being a co-signer.

Vehicle titles or other valuables can be used as collateral in certain cases. The permission will be given based on the value of the item and the verifiability of the ownership, and suitability. All cases are considered on a case-by-case basis prior to the admittance of collateral into agreement.
