What a Bail Bondsman Does

A bail bondsman posts bail on your behalf when you cannot cover the full amount. The bondsman acts as a financial guarantee that the defendant will appear in court. In exchange for that guarantee, you pay a fee, typically around 10% of the total bail amount set by the judge. That fee is non-refundable, but it is far less than paying the full bail out of pocket. At Shane's Bail Bonds, we handle felony bonds, misdemeanor bonds, and appeal bonds, and we accept cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. No collateral is required in cases that qualify.
