Bail Bond Process:
Useful information to have when you call Toledo Bail Bonds, LLC will be the defendant's full name, birth date, and the jail they were booked into. We will obtain the bail information and provide it to you, as well as explain what the bail bond process entails and what is required to get your loved one released from jail. Bail Bonds in Ohio are governed by the Ohio Department of Insurance and Ohio State law requires all bail agencies to charge and collect a NON-REFUNDABLE premium of ten percent (10%) of the full bond amount for all bonds written. We will disclose any expense fees that will be charged to cover the costs incurred by your bail agent in executing the bond. Collateral will be required (usually verification of income/sometimes property) and you will also need your valid driver license or state issued identification. Once you arrive at our office in SUITE 108 (second door on the right of hallway) you will fill out a bail bond agreement and other paperwork, such as a privacy notice. You'll receive copies of your paperwork and from there you're all set! We will post a power of attorney at the appropiate court, jail, or police station and once the holding facility receives the release (usually via fax) the release process will begin. Releases can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 48 hours, depending on which jail they are housed and factors such as how busy the jail or holding facility is that particular day. Once the defendant is released, the bail bond premium is earned and cannont be refunded. The defendent is required to contact Toledo Bail Bonds, LLC within 24 hours of release. Additionally, the defendant must check-in every Tuesday (and the day before court) until his/her trial date is completed and the surety is released.
