One phone call everyone hopes they never have to make in their lives are those to a bail bondsman. Bail is an interesting concept that can help many people live their regular lives before their trial starts, but sometimes the bail is set so high that a person cannot pay for it themselves. That’s where a bail bondsman comes in.
But, how does a bondsman get paid? Well, they have to give their money to a client and hope that they show up to their trial so the bondsman can get their money back. A bondsman gets paid usually about 10% of the bail, but they also may ask for collateral as a type of insurance.
It’s a great idea to show up to your court date if you have used a bondsman. If you decide not to show up for your trial, then you could get into a lot of other legal trouble because you are breaking the law again. So, just show up to your court date.
