Q: Do I need to come to your office to process the bail bond?

A: Typically yes. A qualifying signer will need to meet with one of our agents and bring their valid Colorado ID, proof of income and other required documents. The process normally takes about 20-25 minutes depending on the questions the indemnitor (signer) may have. There are exception with "out of state signers" ect.

A: The counties in Colorado that we do bail bond services are Jefferson, Denver, Douglas, Adams, Gilpin, Clear Creek, and Arapahoe.

Q: What can I do after I submitted payment for the bail?

A: When bond paperwork has been completed and premiums are paid the bond agent will go to the jail to post the bond. The defendant is released some time after that. Release time vary depending on the facility usually 2-4 hrs.

Q: How long is the bail bond good for?

A: A bond is good until there is a finding in the case. The defendant is found innocent, guilty, pleads to a lesser charge or plead bolo contendro (no contest). In some cases, if sentencing is delayed, a bond can be continued until sentencing.

Q: Do I have to pay for bail or can the person who is jailed be responsible for payment, with my help?

A: We require that bond be paid for prior to posting the bond and defendant being released from jail.

Q: Do I get the premium money back after the defendants case is complete?

A: No. The premium money is not returned. Premiums are the fees charged by a bondsman for their services.
