Nashville Bail Bonds

How Jail Bonds Work in Tennessee

Bail is a payment made to a court as an assurance that an arrested individual, if released from jail, will appear at his scheduled court date. Bail can be presented in the form of money, real property, or bail bond. You are guaranteed a right to reasonable bail under the Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution; in other words, a judge may not impose a bail that is disproportionately large compared to the crime of which you are accused.

However, the minimum requirements of the U.S. Constitution do not mean that your bail will be affordable. For people arrested in Nashville or Springfield, even a misdemeanor charge can result in upwards of $5,000 bail.

Most people do not have that kind of cash available to them on such short notice, which is where our Nashville bail bonding company can help you. We make posting Nashville bail bonds a very simple process: meet with one of our certified bail agents, fill out an application, and sign a contract. Contracts must also be co-signed by a person such as a friend or family member of the defendant who is willing to assume financial responsibility for the full amount of the bail bond.

If you have been arrested in Springfield, we can travel to you for your convenience. We have substantial experience handling Springfield bail bonds and know how to work efficiently with the Robertson County Detention Facility. With All Knight Bonding, you can be confident that we will help secure your freedom quickly and discreetly.

Once we have the signed contract, we provide the court with a bail bond. The bail bond and contract together guarantee the accused person will appear in court as required by law.

After the legal process is completed and the defendant has met all conditions of the bail bond (which usually means having appeared in court every time it was required), the bail bond is discharged. Upon discharge, the court returns to the bondsman any cash deposit and releases of the deed of trust on any real estate.

If you do not meet all the conditions of the bail bond (e.g., you fail to show up in court for a scheduled appearance), the bail bond is forfeited and your Nashville or Springfield bail bondsman may use the collateral you provided to pay the court what is owed on the bail.

Our experienced Nashville bail bondsmen are familiar with the Tennessee court system and are committed to making the bail bonding process as simple for you as possible. With extensive experience working out of Nashville, Springfield, and Clarksville, we are committed to helping our clients across Middle Tennessee. Our reasonable 10% fee for jail bonds allows you to get back to your life as much as possible once you have met the obligations of your bail bond.
