Need Bail?
We'll Get Them Out Fast.

If someone you know is in jail, start by confirming their location - contact the jail or detention center directly. Then gather their full name, date of birth, and learn what charges they're facing. Find out if bail has been set. If the bail amount is too high to pay in cash, contact a bail bondsman - they'll typically charge a nonrefundable fee of 10% of the bail amount to secure release.

A Florida bail bondsman pays the full bond amount to the court and charges a nonrefundable 10% fee (regulated by state law). The bondsman guarantees the defendant will attend every court hearing. Once the jail accepts the bail bond, the person is booked out and released - typically within 30 minutes to 8 hours depending on the county.

This process can take 2 to 8 hours depending on the jail and their processing workload. Once the bail bond has been sent, check within the hour by calling the jail directly and providing the defendant's information for a status update.

Bail is the monetary amount set by a judge for an arrested person's release. A bond is what a bail bondsman provides to the court to secure that release. The bondsman pays the full bail amount and charges a 10% fee, which is regulated by the State Insurance Commissioner in Florida.
