The Bail Bond Process

Find Out About the Bail Bonds Process

When a person is charged with a criminal offense and a bail amount is set, there are three options. The first option is to sit in jail until and through the trial. The second is to post cash bail for the entire amount of the bail to get out of jail. The third is to have a bail bond company, such as North Main Bail Bonds, post a bail bond on your behalf.
