The co-signer\nis the person who must guarantee that the defendant appears for their scheduled\ncourt date. Upon agreeing to be a co-signer, the co-signer takes on a serious\nand legally-binding financial liability in the case that the defendant fails to\nappear for court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bail is Not Necessarily Guaranteed<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, a person who is arrested will be granted bail\nat some point. However, there are certain offenses and criminal charges that\nare not eligible for bail, such as murder. Furthermore, judges have the\npersonal and professional discretion to deny a defendant\u2019s bail based on their\ncriminal history and various other factors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Can Expect Bail to Be Fair<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The 8<sup>th<\/sup> Amendment in our U.S. Constitution protects all citizens from excessive or unreasonable bail. So, you can expect bail to be set in mostly in accordance to the state or federal bail schedule, as well as, the judges own discretion. See our blog, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.woodsbailbonds.com\/blog\/which-amendment-has-to-do-with-bail\/ \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Which Amendment Has to Do With Bail? (opens in a new tab)\">Which Amendment Has to Do With Bail?<\/a>\u201d to learn more about this constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bail Agents Charge a State-Controlled Fee<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost for bail bond services are regulated by the state\u2019s\nDepartment of Insurance. Currently in Indiana, bail bondsmen cannot charge more\nthan 15% of the total bail amount. So if bail is set at 5 grand, they cannot\ncharge more than $750 for their services. You won\u2019t see a bail agent advertising\nfees lower than 8% in Indiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Can Prearrange Your Own Bail<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Most bail bondsmen offer prearranged bail bond services for those who need to surrender to an arrest warrant. All you have to do is contact a local bail agent in the county of your warrant, and they will take you through the entire process, start to finish.
