What if the defendant fails to appear at his court date?
The court will issue a warrant and notify us of the failure to appear. We will assist you in either reinstating the bail with the court or surrendering the person back into custody. If we are unsuccessful, the court will demand the full amount of the bail. How long does it take to get someone out of jail? The paperwork takes approximately 30 minutes. The release time after the jail receives the bond is generally between 45 minutes to 3 hours depending on how busy the jail is.
