We Provide Unmatched Warrant Bonds Service
Different warrants have different purposes. Knowing the difference lets you handle the legal matter quickly after learning of the warrant against you.
- Arrest Warrant—This court order authorizes law enforcement to take a specific individual into custody. It is usually requested by law enforcement and based on allegations of criminal behavior.
- Search Warrant – This allows law enforcement to search your place for the evidence of a crime.
- Bench Warrant – The judge issues this warrant if you fail to appear during hearing dates or comply with a court order.
Bail Bonds for an Outstanding Warrant
When you learn that a court issued a warrant against you, you could post bail and avoid the arrest or be released from jail. We will make this process seamless so you can focus on what matters most, including your life and future.
After you call us, our experienced team will tell you what steps need to be taken to post bail for your warrant. You will learn what is required, such as the court-set bail amount and the required documentation.
What to do If a Warrant Against You Exist
You must act fast if you find an outstanding warrant against you.
- You should remain calm. It can make you panic and make hasty decisions that worsen your situation.
- Verify the existence of the warrant. You should be able to find out this by contacting your local law enforcement agency or court system. Details like the warrant type and the charges against you will help you prepare for your next steps.
- Contact a qualified attorney. They will advise you about your legal rights and options.
- Contact El Don Bail Bonds. Our experienced bail bondsmen will help you navigate the bail bond process and relieve the stress of your current situation.
If you decide to surrender, do it with the help of your attorney so that you do not lose your rights. If you are pulled over by the police and given a warrant, you must have your identification and any documentation you have that goes along with it.
Once you’ve turned yourself in or have resolved the warrant through legal means, be sure to know what conditions of your release, including any court dates you must appear for.
The Bail Bonds Process
A bail bond acts as a contract between the defendant, the bail bondsman, and the court. It guarantees that you will appear in court whenever required and follow bail conditions. If you cannot post bail, you remain in jail until your case concludes.
Posting bail could let you do the following:
- Resume employment
- Build your defense strategy away from jail
- Make time for your family
Setting of Bail
Before you are arraigned, the law enforcement agency can release you on bail. If a defendant is booked, they can secure a quick release by posting the bail amount on the bail schedule. Your bail amount depends on the following:
- Circumstances surrounding the offense
- Jurisdiction
- Your residency
If your crime requires that you be arraigned, the presiding judge considers particular factors to determine the appropriate bail amounts. These factors include:
- The severity of the alleged offense
- The defendant’s criminal record
- Likelihood of the defendant jumping bail
- Risk of flight
- Risk to re-offend
- Risk to public safety
- Ties to the community
Even though the judge uses the schedule as a guide, they can change the bail amounts.
For example, if arrested for a serious offense, the judge might set high bail amounts because they consider you a risk to the public. However, if you have a clean record and face charges for a minor offense, the court might set a lower bail amount.
If you have strong ties to the community, such as a strong family connection, a stable job, or long-standing residency, the court could set a lower bail amount than if you are considered a flight risk.
Bail Refund
You might wonder what happens to your bail once you complete your court obligations. Generally, if you obey all court orders and show up at every scheduled hearing, you are entitled to a refund of the total sum. The refund process usually happens at the end of your case. So, you need to file the appropriate paperwork to obtain the refund.
Bail Forfeiture Process
Failure to appear in court attracts severe consequences. If this happens, the judge will declare your bail forfeited, and you will lose the money you posted. This forfeiture is not the only financial penalty; it could result in additional legal penalties, like additional charges for failure to appear.
You want to maintain communication with your bail bondsman to avoid forgetting your legal obligations.
Additionally, the time frame for receiving a refund could be different. After your case is over, it may take weeks or even months for the court to process your refund, depending on the jurisdiction. Following up with the court and being proactive can speed this process up and get your money back on time.
