Once a defendant has been booked, one of three things happens next:
1) Bail may be set and an arrangement for arraignment may also be set. This may be done by either the court or the jail depending on individual cases. Once this is done, the defendant will be required to either post bond themselves or to make arrangements to have bond posted on their behalf to ensure their release from prison. This of course is a worst case scenario.
2) A judge may determine that the defendant may be released with a written promise to reappear in court at a later date on their own recognizance (O.R.). This would not require a bail bond agent to be involved.
3) No charges are filed against the defendant resulting in immediatlyte release which is a best case scenario
If a defendant has been asked to post bond and if the bond amount is greater than a readily available cash amount then the defendant, their attorney, a friend or a family member would contact All Star Bail Bonds and request a bail bond to facilitate the release of the defendant. WHAT ARE BAIL BONDS?
