What is a Bail bondsman?
A bail bondsman is a person that works for an insurance company and will post a surety bond for your bail. Assuming the court posts your bail at $100,000, if you come up with a 10% fee to a bail bondsman, and have property or sign over for a guarantee of $100,000, you can post something less usually 10% of the bail and be able to get out on a surety bond. A bail bondsman facilitates that process.
