When making the decision to pay full price of a bond with cash or to pay 10% to a bondsman you should consider a few facts.
Paying cash for a bond is when the defendant or friend/family post full amount to the court through the sheriffs office and is not financed through a bail agent. If the defendant owes any money in regards to the current case the courts will take that amount owed from the cash and return what the remaining amount is to the person who paid for the defendants release. The cash is forfeited to the court in full if the defendant fails to appear in court. The court will hold the full amount of cash until the case is concluded.
When using a bondsman you will pay a 10% premium for release of the defendant. A bail bond agreement is a binding contract in which the signer ensures that the defendant will show up for their hearing.
Capitol Bail Bonds understands that sometimes inconvenient things happen and these sudden things can at times keep a defendant from making it to their court date. They can give a grace period to a defendant who wants to make things right with their bondsman. With a cash bond this is never an option.
