The collateral is required to insure the defendant's appearance at all of their scheduled court dates and will be returned once all court proceedings are concluded. If the defendant fails to appear in court your collateral will be surrendered to the the state.
The fee is non-refundable, you do not received that back.

Minors under the age of 18 must have original birth certificate and be accompanied by a Parent or Legal Guardian. (Legal Guardian must provide proof of guardianship.)

What is the responsibility of the signer?

If the defendant you signed for fails to appear to court, you are liable for the full amount of the bond plus any expenses. However, a failure to appear in court does not necessarily mean you will have to pay the full amount of the bond. If you make arrangements with our company to surrender the defendant to the court you will only be liable for the actual expenses our company incurs.

What if there is more than one signer?

The signer and co- signer will be held equally liable for the full bond amount. This happens only in the event that we cannot capture the individual, or they do not turn themselves in on the warrant within the time period allowed by the state.
