Common questions
The premium is a percentage of the full bail amount, and the rate is set by state law rather than by us. It is the fee for the bond and is not returned when the case ends. We quote the exact figure on the first call.
That the defendant appears at every court date. If they do not and cannot be located, the cosigner becomes responsible for the full bail amount, which is why we go through the agreement line by line.

The person's full name and date of birth, the jail or facility, and if you have it the booking number and charge. If you do not have those, call anyway; we can look them up.
