How does it work?
- Call 614-221-0100 or use the contact form to provide the arrested person’s name, location, and bail amount.
- An agent explains the bond terms (typically a 10% premium of the bail amount) and arranges a payment plan if needed.
- Sign the bond agreement; the agent posts the bond at the jail, securing release.
- The defendant must attend all court hearings; if they do, no additional money is owed. Missing a court date forfeits the bond and may require full repayment.
