you can go to a bails bond agency and they will ask you for 10% percent of the Bail......30,000 = 3,000 dollars.............
but you have to put a house, car, or anything of that value to cover up the cost... if you show up to court and you are found innocent your bailsbond agency takes 10%percent therefore returning you a total of 2700.......................................
if you are found guilty than you are screwed out of your money
whatever you do, make sure you appear to court..
or they will hunt you down....with license to kill |

If you post bond in the full amount, you get the money back when you show up for court. If you use a bondsman, and pay 10-15% you lose that money. That is his fee for guaranteeing your presence at the trial. |

If YOU post bond and appear at the proper time, you get it all back.
If you use a bail bondsman, you pay him to put up the bond for you, normally 10%. That is your cost to get out.
If you do not show up at the proper time, the court will not be happy, but the bail bondsman will be less happy and has a lot more leeway coming after you.
Watch a show or two of Dog, the Bounty-Hunter. He is mostly after bail jumpers and you notice there is no Miranda card or any notification of rights because, in that situation, you basically have none. Bounty hunters have very few restrictions based on civil boundaries. They can take you at any time from almost anywhere. |

killbasabill is 100% correct!
If you pay the whole bail yourself, then you will get all the money back when you show up in court.
When you go to a bailbondsman, he puts up the bond and you pay him (usually 10%) a percentage that he/she keeps. If you don't show up and he has to track you down, it will get very ugly, plus you also have a warrant out for you for jumping bail. |

you end up paying that 10% but not having to pay back the rest because i believe the balesman gets paid back for the person showing upto court. but it might be worth a google. |

What happens depends on the state your in. Some states allow a "Bondsman" to post the bond. You pay him around 10 to 20% of the bond to post it with the court. At the end of the trial that is returned to him and he keeps your money too. Other states require that you post the entire amount yourself. Bonds are usually much lower in these states but harsh enough some property needs to be put up. |

When you post bond, you only lose if the person for who you post bond does not appear in court. If they fail to appear, you lose the full amount. |

When you post bond you are putting a deposit down as a guarantee that you will show up in court. If you can not afford the bond then you either need to contact a bail bondsman who will pay your bond (for a fee) or you will have to stay in jail. When you show up to court you will be given your bond back, unless there are fines or Court costs, which will be taken from the bond money.
Hope that helps. |

as long as the person you posted bond for doesnt miss any court dates you get the money back minus a fee. you pay only 10% when you go thru a bondsman |
