If someone is arrested for a criminal offense, using a bail bond agent can do more than just secure their release. Bail agents offer the defendant the benefit of saving money by posting a percentage of the total bail amount and allowing them to return to the job and family, while still monitoring and supervising the defendant to ensure their appearance in court.

Bail agents can arrange bail in many jurisdictions and often work closely with law enforcement and the courts when issues arise with a defendant. Bail agents are familiar with the criminal justice system and work hard to educate defendants and their families on the process until resolution of the case.
