Walking Away With A Lake Charles Bails Bondsman

By Jerry Collins


Science dictates that when something acts, something on the opposite end of the spectrum for that first entity will react in a manner that is equal, just opposite to it. This is the way things work. When someone does some kind of wrong, then society is going to react, first by arresting them and then remanding them to the custody of law enforcement officials. But, there is generally due process, which means that before someone can be declared guilty, they must be given a chance to prove their innocence. That is the legal process. One element that is part of that process but also outside of it is a Lake Charles bails bondsman.

The first thing that needs to be done is to explain just what bail is. In essence, it is a price. When a person is accused of a crime, they can be remanded into police custody. But that does not suit everyone. That does not mean that they can all go free. They have to surrender something, usually money or some other form of property, in order to assure that they will return to court when it is time to do so.

A bondsman is someone who puts up that bail. They will either front the money. Barring that, they will put up some kind of collateral. Really, the main reason that they are around is to make sure that the defendant makes it back to trial.

Bail is needed because it provides some level of assurance that if an alleged criminal is allowed to walk free to some extent during the trial, that they will not try to get away. This works because the amount set is generally decided by a judge, who generally takes the financial capabilities of the accused into consideration. In essence, it acts as a deterrent for flight risks.

Bondsman exist because there is a market for them. Not all defendants have the resources needed in order to be free. But they still want to have one last taste of the outside world before they possibly go to prison for the rest of their lives or at least long enough that they can feel completely changed at the end of it.

Of course, not everyone is going to make it back to trial. This is sometimes because they decide not to risk their freedom in trial and come to the decision that going on the lam would be a lot better than a jury possibly finding them guilty and them ending up being sentenced to a stint in prison. But bond agencies are authorized to track them down and retrieve them. They are also allowed to hire bounty hunters.

Finding them is not going to be a difficult task. After all, the internet is something that exists in the world. Which means that it can be used to find basically any kind of business establishment. Of course, lawyers can also secure their services on behalf of the client.

Money is going to be an issue. No business is going to offer their services without a fee. Now, their fee will be dependent on the bail set. This fee is usually about ten to fifteen percent of the total amount. Some of them will have a flat fee.

Living can be difficult. But there are agencies out there who seek to lighten the burden. But there is going to be a price for what they do.
