A bail bonds company provides a type of insurance policy, known as a bail bond, to the court on behalf of the defendant. In exchange for posting the bond, the bail bondsman charges the defendant a non-refundable fee, typically a % of the total bail amount, The bondsman then pledges to pay the full bail amount to the court if the defendant fails to appear for their court dates. 

Bail bonding allows defendants to secure release from custody without having to pay the full bail amount upfront.

Specifically for individuals charged with felony offenses. Felonies are serious crimes that carry potentially lengthy prison sentences, and bail amounts for felony charges are often higher than for misdemeanors.

In felony cases, bail bonding works much like it does for other charges. However, due to the higher stakes involved in felony cases, bail bond amounts can be substantial, requiring defendants to pay a significant fee to the bondsman, usually a percentage of the total bail amount.

Specialized service offered by bail bond agents to individuals who are appealing a court decision. When someone is convicted of a crime and sentenced, they have the right to appeal the verdict or the sentence in a higher court. 

​

Appeal bail bonding works similarly to standard bail bonding, but it applies to defendants who have already been convicted and sentenced. In this scenario, the convicted individual, known as the appellant, may request to be released on bail pending the outcome of their appeal.
