About Rodgers Bail Bonding
"BAIL" is the security posted by the accused to ensure that he will appear in court and answer to the accusation brought against him. Bail can be posted in the form of cash or a bail bond.
When a person is arrested for a crime, the jail or magistrate may impose a bail amount that must be paid before the person will be released from jail. The accused can pay the full amount themselves or they can pay a Bail Bondsman ten percent of the full bail amount and the Bail Bondsman will then pay the jail the full bail amount in the form of a Bail Bond. The ten percent paid to the Bail Bondsman is a non-refundable fee for the service of paying the bail amount on behalf of the accused. The court holds the bail amount, in either the cash or bond form, without interest, until the court case is complete, when it will be returned to the depositor, which can sometimes take months or even years. However, if the accused misses a required court date, the bail is forfeited and the court keeps it.
If you don't have the full bail amount or don't want your money tied up for long periods of time without earning interest, we can post a bail bond for you.
(Bail is used as a guarantee to ensure that the defendant returns to court. If you do not show on scheduled court dates, you forfeit your bond and a warrant for their arrest is issued.)
