What are bail bonds

And in reality you really don’t need to know anything about it unless you actually need it, in which case it would be an extremely helpful and necessary thing to know about.

I’m guessing pretty much all of us have seen a court room scene, from a movie or TV where the judge pounds the gavel and sets bail, for the most time the defendant seems pretty relieved and sometimes the bail amount it set at an incredible amount. And yet a couple minutes later the defendant is walking about free. How did manage to come up with that amount? What happened behind the scenes? How did he walk free? This are definitely questions you would like answers to if you ever found yourself or a friend or loved one in a similar situation.
