Experiencing jail time or having a loved one arrested for a crime they didn\u2019t commit can be a frustrating and stressful situation. Facing an arrest and all the legalities that come with it not only impacts your reputation, it also creates a negative mark on your employment status. The good news is, licensed bail bond companies such as the DeLaughter Bail Bonds<\/a> are here to help you get out until your court hearing.<\/p>\n

When it comes to bail bonds, there are many myths and misconceptions that often affect a defendant\u2019s decision to post bail. Associated cost, legalities, and paperwork might seem daunting at first, but an experienced bail bond agent can take care of everything for you.<\/p>\n

Here are some common misconceptions about bail bonds:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bail Bond Agents Only Accept Cash Payments<\/h2>\n

People think that posting and getting bail involves a significant amount of expenditure, and licensed bail bond companies only accept cash payments. However, this is untrue.<\/p>\n

There are different types of bail bonds<\/a> such as secured, unsecured, surety, etc. Each of these have their own stipulations, requirements, and procedure. Hence, it\u2019s unlikely for bail bond agencies to accept cash-only payments. Your local bail bond agent in Indiana will understand if you don\u2019t have enough money to secure a bail bond. This is where they can help you seek other options such as a putting forward collateral. In addition, they might also accept credit cards, money orders, and checks.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bail Bond Agents Negotiate with Court<\/h2>\n

Absolutely not. Even the licensed bail bond agents don\u2019t have the right and power to negotiate the bail amount with the court. The court decides a defendant\u2019s bail amount after considering their financial status, employment, crime record, etc.<\/p>\n

In some cases, however, the court might decide to cut down the bail money but that\u2019s only on their discretion. A bail bond agent can help you prepare for bail hearing and take care of all the nitty-gritties that go along, but they don\u2019t negotiate the bail amount with the court.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Only Family Members Can Bail Out Individuals<\/h2>\n

Anyone who is above the age of 18<\/a> has the right to a bail unless they are convicted of murder or treason. However, sometimes it\u2019s difficult to hire a bail bond agent and post bail from the jail. This is when any person responsible for enduring the defendant can step forward to post a bail.<\/p>\n

However, if the defendant fails to appear in their court hearings, the responsible person might have to forfeit assets or pay money equal to the bail amount.<\/p>\n
