Felony offenses are divided into two main categories: violent and non-violent crimes. Furthermore, they are further classified into various categories, denoted by letters A through D, to help determine the severity of a specific crime. Nonetheless, irrespective of its classification, a felony is regarded as the most severe type of criminal offense, leading to higher bail amounts compared to less serious charges such as infractions or misdemeanors.
How Is a Felony Bail Bond Determined?
A typical felony bail bond can be set anywhere between $1,500-$50,000. The amount depends on a range of influential factors, including:
- What is the age of the individual in question? If the individual is below 18 years old, their bail amount will generally be lower than that of an adult. Nonetheless, if the court determines that the minor will face trial as an adult, their bail bond will be set at a higher amount.
- Is there a documented prior criminal record for the individual in question? If the suspect does indeed possess a history of criminal offenses and is facing new charges, it is likely that the bail amount will be elevated, with a particularly significant increase if they have previously been convicted of a felony
- Has the defendant previously failed to appear for a trial? If so, there is a heightened perception that they may repeat this behavior, which could result in an increased bail amount.
- Is there a significant probability that the defendant will engage in further criminal activities upon release? This determination often hinges on the suspect's prior arrest history.
- Did any aggravating circumstances exist? If the defendant exhibited violence during the incident, it is probable that their bail will be set at a higher amount.
- To what degree is the felony offense considered severe? When the felony is categorized as a class A felony, the bail amount is notably elevated, particularly when contrasted with class C or class D felonies.
The Steps for Posting Bail
Securing bail is a procedural undertaking that encompasses the engagement of a licensed bail bondsman within your locality, followed by the completion of requisite documentation. Once the requisite paperwork is successfully processed, you may proceed to submit a designated form of payment, resulting in the release of your cherished individual. The ensuing section elucidates the specific documentation integral to the bail bonding process:
- The defendant's authorization form conveys your legal consent to empower the bail bondsman to carry out the necessary proceedings on your behalf.
- A co-signer agreement form is required solely in situations where specific types of bonds are involved, and it must be signed accordingly
- The payment agreement contract provides detailed information about the payer, including their personal details, specifies the initial down payment amount, and lays out the schedule for subsequent installment payments.
- A credit card authorization contract includes your credit card details and indicates your consent to process payments using that card on a specified date
