How much does a bail bond cost in Ohio?
In Ohio, the premium for a bail bond is set by state law at 10% of the total bail amount (non-negotiable). For example, if bail is set at $10,000, the fee is $1,000. This premium is paid to the bail bondsman and is non-refundable, even if the case is dismissed. We offer flexible payment options to help make this more manageable for Columbus families—call us for details.
What is the bail bond process in Ohio?
The process is straightforward, someone gets arrested, if they don't immediately set a bond then they will have a bail set at the following arraignment day. Just call or text us and we'll help you figure it out.
What if the defendant misses a court date?
Missing court can result in a warrant, forfeiture of the bond, and additional charges. We try to take proactive measures such as calling the day before court to remind clients about court the following day but sometimes things just happen. If court is missed do not panic and hide just call or text us, our general rule is we would rather fix a case than chase a case. There's always a way to fix these things, just call us
