Bail Responsibilities

When you enter into a bail agreement with a bondsman, you become what is known as an “indemnitor.” You are agreeing to be the person responsible for the bail contract and the defendant.

By signing an agreement with a bail bondsman, you agree to pay the bail bond premium in full. This is the fee that is set by the state of California. It is equal to 10% of the total bail amount. This fee is non-refundable. Even if the defendant is found not guilty or charges are not filed, this fee must be paid.

It is your responsibility to make sure that, once released, the defendant shows up at any court appearances. If the defendant fails to appear, you are responsible to help the bondsman get the defendant back into court.

You must make sure that the defendant’s information, such as address and employer, remain current.If the defendant leaves town or “goes on the run,” it is your responsibility to notify the courts and bondsman of their whereabouts, if they are known to you.

You should be aware that problems with bail bonds are extremely rare and most missed court dates can be taken care of with a simple phone call.

This is a very trying time for you. Tonya Page Bail Bonds will work hard to make sure the process goes as smoothly as possible.

Fort Bragg History

Fort Bragg is a coastal town in Mendocino County. Once a military fort before the Civil War, Fort Bragg has developed into a popular tourist destination thanks to its beautiful scenery. The town has a population of over 7,200 residents and covers an area of nearly three square miles.

Fort Bragg is known for its Glass Beach along the town’s coastal edge. In the 1900’s, residents would throw their garbage over the cliffs, anything from glass to appliances and cars. In 1967, the area was closed and clean up efforts were made to fix the damage. After so many years, the ocean’s waves has cleared the beach and smoothed the rough pieces of glass into smooth, colored pieces that coat the beach today. This draws many visitors each year.

In even the smallest communities, people will find themselves in trouble with local police and could be arrested and taken to jail. If someone you care for has been arrested in Fort Bragg, finding the right bail bondsman could help smooth over the rough spots of this difficult situation.
