Then they are given a specific date for when their trial will be conducted. This date can be weeks or days away.<\/p>\n<h2>What is Bail?<\/h2>\n<p>During this time \u2014 from the date the person was arrested to the date of their trial\u2014 the defendant has two ways to go about the situation. They can either stay in jail, or pay bail to the court. The amount set for their release is usually based on the severity of the crime. The harsher the crime, the higher the bail amount; if the case is violent in nature, the person may also be denied bail.<\/p>\n<p>This bail amount guarantees that the defendant will attend their trial.<\/p>\n<h2>What are Bail Bonds?<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you hire DeLaughter Bail Bonds and opt for a surety bond. In this case, <em>we<\/em> pay the full price of your bail. <em>We<\/em> ensure the court that you will attend the trial. It is our money on the line. <em>You<\/em> only have to pay a small percentage, 10 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Once you attend the trial and the verdict has been given, the money we paid for your bail is returned back to us in full.
