FAQ

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.

We work quickly—often securing release in just a few hours, depending on the jail's processing time and court availability. Located minutes from the Franklin County courthouse and local jails, our team handles paperwork efficiently 24/7 so your loved one can come home as soon as possible.

The process is straightforward:

1. Bail is set by the court.

2. You contact us with the defendant's information.

3. We prepare the bond paperwork and collect the 10% premium (plus any state fees).

4. We post the bond with the court and the defendant is released.

We'll guide you every step—no surprises, just fast and reliable help.

The 10% premium paid to the bondsman is non-refundable (this covers our service and risk). However, if cash bail was posted directly with the court (without a bondsman), it is typically refunded at the end of the case minus any court fees—provided the defendant attends all required court dates. We always explain this upfront so there are no misunderstandings.

Missing court can result in a warrant, forfeiture of the bond, and additional charges. As your local Columbus bail bonds provider, we prioritize reminders and support to help ensure court compliance. If issues arise, contact us immediately—we can often help resolve matters quickly before they escalate.
