Explanation of the Georgia Bond Process
Most of our clients are first offenders and they’ve never had to post bond for anything or anybody. They are sort of shocked when they're sitting in jail and it takes forever to even find out what the process is and then they give you a list of names and you have to decide, “Well, who am I going to use?” “The one with the catchy name? The one that’s on the top of the list? Who am I going to use?” If you use a commercial bonds person, they're going to charge you a twelve percent fee in the state of Georgia which is set by law.
If you post a two thousand dollar bond, you're going to pay two hundred and forty for the fee. In some situations such as out of state drivers they may require that you give them a credit card that secures the entire fee because they don't want to worry about coming out of state to bring you back if you don't show up for court. If you have a personal friend or family member post a cash bond, that cash bond stays in place until your case is over. That means you go to trial or you plead guilty and the case is disposed of. Don't expect to get the money back until that occurs.
That fee, if its cash, is fully refundable. You don't lose the twelve percent. You can also use real estate but if it’s not in the same county as the one you were arrested in, the process of having sheriffs from each county communicate and verify the value of the property and the equity in the property can be very time consuming. Expect to put up cash or use a commercial bondsman in most situations.
