Hopefully, You Will Never Have To Call Bail Yes
But it is a real comfort to know they are ready to help if you ever need them!

Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.

In the Parker Brothers board game Monopoly, you only lose a few turns throwing the dice when you go to jail. But in real life, you lose a whole lot more. So when the judge sets bail, the first thing a jailed person wants to do is to raise enough money to get out.

Quite simply, bail is a guarantee, usually monetarily, that someone will appear at all of his or her scheduled court dates and will remain in the specified area until the completion of all legal proceedings which surround the case. If you are arrested and booked, you may post bail yourself at the jail at which you are booked. This can typically be done with cash or cashier’s check for the full amount of the bail that was set. However, to make this happen, you may need to have a lot of money just lying around, and unfortunately, most of us do not. So, in order to complete this task, you or your family may have to seek the help of a bail bondsman.

Bail Yes knows that you have many choices out there, and selecting a bail agency (bail bondsman) is a very important decision. Their online legal directory can be an immense help to you. It lists criminal defense attorney law firms by state for your convenience.

The way that it works is that if you cannot post all of your bail, then your family may choose to go through a bail bond company like Bail Yes. It is the bail bond company that will post your bail. This will be at the cost of, on average, ten percent of the amount for which your bail is set. For example, if your bail is set at $10,000, then the person who is posting bail for you will need to pay the bail bond company $1000.

Once bail has been posted, that money will remain within the court system until the time that the legal process has been completed. However, the ten percent fee that was paid to the bail bond company will be lost, as that was the bondsman’s fee for posting the entire bail. Hopefully, you will never have to find out all of the intricacies of posting bail for either yourself or for someone that you know, but if that day ever comes, call Bail Yes 24 hours a day at 1-800-224-5937.

Although it isn’t actually “free,” it’s like having your very own get out of jail free card in Monopoly, except this one works in real life.
