The judges of each county set bail amounts for each offense and publish a Bail Schedule. When a person is arrested and booked into the jail a Deputy will utilize the bail schedule to determine the bail amount required for a defendant’s release.
A bail bond is an Insurance Policy that is posted at the jail for the release of a person from custody. The bond is held by the court and is guaranteed by Metro One Bail bonds and the individual(s) paying for bail (Indemnitor/Co-signer). The Bail Bond Agency guarantees to the court that the defendant will appear in court each and every time the Judge requires them to do so until the case is over.
The amount of time the jail takes to process the Bail Bond varies with the workload at the jail, the size of the jail, and many other factors outside the control of the Metro One Bail Bonds. Once the Bail Bond is posted at the jail, we will contact you to advise the approximate timeline for the defendant’s release. For security reasons, no jail facility will give an actual time for a person’s release.
We are not in the business of determining if someone is right or wrong, it is up to the court to make those decisions. Our job at Metro One is to get you out quickly and insure a person’s appearance in Court. Once the defendant is released from jail on our Bail Bond, we have fulfilled our obligation and the full premium is earned.
If you have an Arrest or Bench Warrant, Metro One Bail Bonds can help. We have an excellent working relationship with local law enforcement. We can get you the information you need and make arrangements for posting a bond before surrendering so that you will be out and on your way in as little time as possible. In some cases (misdemeanor or traffic cases) it won’t cost you anything. We actually walk with you to the Sheriffs' Department, arrange for your release with your signature only, without going into custody at no cost to you. This is a free service we offer to the community.
