Bondsman In NYC- Bronx Bail Bonds

No matter in whichever place the person is (where commercial bails are permitted), one can find the commercial bail bondsmen providing a very safe, cost-effective and a professional avenue which guarantees the bailed-out defendant’s guarantee.

These bondsmen operate within the criminal judicial system and maintain the highest of the ethical standards. The bondsmen before guaranteeing any individual deeply study the individuals’ background through various private and government sources. Moreover, they have an excellent information network that gives them effective checks on the defendant who is out of the imprisonment.

The standards for bondsman is quite high as there are only around sixty bondsman in the New York City and only a few in Bronx providing Bronx bail bonds. Though the bondsmen are not civil agents or law enforcers, they enjoy powerful privileges and rights through the decision of the United States’ Supreme Court. These powers include the power to search premises of the defendant or take the defendant into custody without obtaining a search warrant. The bondsmen are bound by their contract with the court and can thus arrest the defendant if he is trying to flee.

The bail bonds are generally in the form of undertaking contracts that are presented to the court being guaranteed by a bondsman and the individual who pays for the bail. The bail agent gives guarantee to the court that the defendant will be there in the court premises whenever asked by the court. As the court will hold the person paying for the bail bond financially liable in case the defendant does not turns up, the person makes a deal with the bondsman to ensure that the defendant complies with the court’s and bondsman proceedings.

The defendant is charged fees for this service by the bondsman, which is generally charged as a percentage of the amount of the bail. The bail-premiums usually start at 10% of the total amount of the bail bond including the additional fees which may be incurred. Before posting of the bail bond, the defendant or the payer signs in writing to pay for the bail bond in full including the additional expenses as they may be incurred.

After this a bail application is submitted by the bondsman with the court on behalf of the client. In most case the bails are granted if the courts are satisfied and the bondsman try to get the client out of jail as fast as possible.
