Once the bail amount has been set by the court, that’s when Colorado Springs Bail Bonds steps in to help get you out of jail.
There are several types of bail bonds accepted by the court in exchange for your agreement to be
present for your trial:
​
• Cash bail: A cash bail means that someone close to the defendant, usually a friend or a relative, must bring the full bail amount plus any jail fees directly to the jail where the individual is being held. Some jails will accept credit cards, but not all of them will. If the defendant meets all of the requirements by appearing at all of the scheduled court appearances, the cash bail is usually refunded in full. If your bail is set at a higher amount, this will be extremely difficult for you or your loved ones to find the funds to pay the court and you should speak with us at Colorado Springs Bail Bonds to discuss other options.

• Surety bond: A surety bond allows bail to be posted by a licensed bondsman, who will charge a nonrefundable fee that is a certain percentage of the bail amount paid. Because we are paying the jail to release you and promising that you will be in court at your scheduled time, we will ask a close friend or relative to sign an agreement stating that they will help ensure that you will make your appearance.
Both the bail bond and the agreement from a family member act as our insurance that you will uphold your end of the arrangement.

• Property Bond: In very rare cases, you may be able to make an agreement with the court to place a lien on your property in the bail amount so you can be released. You must have enough equity in the property in order for this to be a viable option. If you fail to appear in court for your trial, the court can foreclose on the property to recover the bail amount.

• Walk through bond: If you have an active warrant out for your arrest and are tired of living in a constant state of paranoia and uncertainty, give us a call. Colorado Springs Bail Bonds can accompany you to the jail to surrender yourself so that the warrant will be lifted and post your bail immediately, so you do not have to spend a long time incarcerated. Give us a call today so we can discuss your specific case and determine if a walk through bond will be the best option for you.
