We all know about it, (preferably not first hand!) but what
if we are suddenly faced with this situation in helping a loved one or family
member? In breaking it down to its
basics, bail is a financial arrangement that a bail bond agency makes on behalf
of an accused criminal defendant. They
act on behalf of the accused.
With a cash bond the entire amount of bail must be paid in
cash AND in full. The money is then held
until the case is concluded and is refunded to the person who posted it. If the defendant posts his or her own cash,
then the court may deduct any fines and costs before returning the money.
This is just the first process in successfully defending
someone against a criminal charge in the State of California. The next, most important thing to do is
contact San Jose criminal attorney William Chestnut. Talk to Bill about the entire process from
start to finish by calling his office at (408) 298-6990.
