Orlando, Florida bail bond agency explains the differences between bail and bond.
ORLANDO, Fla., April 20, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Central Florida Bonding announces their newest website blog that explains the differences between the terms bail and bond as well as options for paying bail and how a bail bond agency can help. According to Florida Statutes 903.011, "Bail is a form of pretrial release. Any monetary or cash component of any form of pretrial release may be by a surety bond."
Essentially, bail is the amount of money that a defendant must pay in order to be released from jail. Hadi Khouri, owner of Central Florida Bonding, states, "When a person is arrested there are usually 2 options defendants can choose from, stay in jail or pay the bail and be released from jail."
There are options when it comes to paying bail:
- The defendant can elect to pay the bail amount in full and leave jail. If the defendant chooses this option, then the defendant must follow all of the requirements set by the judge.
- A person can contract with a bail bond agency and have the bail bond agency issue a surety bond. No refund is given on the amount paid to the bail bond agency
Khouri adds "Most people typically can't afford to pay their bail in full. This is where Central Florida Bonding can help. A bond, also known as a bail bond, can be issued from a bail bond agency. Only a portion of the bail amount is paid instead of the whole amount. The state of Florida has a set 10% bond fee of the bond, and this fee is not negotiable. The bond is used to guarantee that the defendant will appear in court. If the defendant does not appear in court, then my agency loses the money."
