Many people have endured the discomfort of having been arrested for misdemeanors as well as felonies. No matter what the offense, you may have needed to pay a bail in order to regain your freedom. That's why bail bondsmen like Nice Guy Bail Bonds Torrance are such an essential part of our judicial system. Without bail bonds many would not be able to obtain their freedom before the trial.
Your indemnitor, you, your family member or a friend can pay 10% (a non-refundable fee) of the requested bail plus present acceptable collateral in some instances and then your bail is posted. Now the arrested party has the freedom to go to work and continue supporting his or her family. He or she can continue with their life as usual until the trial.
The purpose for the bail is to provide incentive for the defendant to show up for the scheduled trial. Most defendants do not want to cause their loved ones to lose their property or additional money, so they show up. In the event that they fail to be present for the trial, the collateral posted is seized until the total bail money is received.
In most cases, the defendant shows up for the trial, thereby, limiting the indemnitor’s responsibility to only 10% of the bail. At that time, the defendant faces the charges and hopefully receives a fair trial. Prior to the trial, the defendant could be locked up without bail or free with bail. Instead of sitting behind bars for up to a year awaiting trial, bail bonds allows the innocent and the guilty their freedom until they are duly convicted of wrongdoing.
