Your Bail Bond Questions Answered by Good Friday Bail Bonds LLC in Charlotte, NC

A bail bond is a surety contract between the defendant, the court, and a bail bonds company. It guarantees the court that the defendant will appear for all required court dates. If the defendant fails to appear, the bail company may be responsible for the full bail amount.

Sometimes. Depending on the defendant’s criminal record, flight risk, or bond size, we may ask for collateral (real estate deed, vehicle title, jewelry, etc.). Collateral is used to secure the risk and is held until the case is closed and the bond is exonerated.

Failure to appear is a breach of the bond contract. The court may forfeit the bond, and we may use collateral to cover the loss. Also, a warrant may be issued for the defendant’s arrest.
