Unsecured & Secured Bail Bonds

An Unsecured Bond is where you would be personally liable for the amount of the bond if you don’t follow the conditions set forth and fail to appear in court. If you skip your court date you would have to pay the bond. In addition, an unsecured bond is one that does not have a deposit such as a lien on a car or a home.

A Secured Bond is a situation where you pay a percentage or fee to be released from jail. If you attend all your court hearings and adhere to the rules the money will be returned to you. The typical process is a judge would order a secured bond and you or your family would secure the money needed from us at Advanced Bail Bonds for a fee. An example would be a secured bond order for $10,000.00 and the bond’s fee would be a percentage of that dollar amount. Advanced Bail Bonds would pay the court the money once we have the fee from you.

  • This is a standard bond that will release you from custody.

  • An appeal bond is a sum of money that usually matches the judgement that is set aside during the appeals process. For example, you appeal your case to a higher court. The appeal bond is supplied by you while your case is being decided in the higher court.

  • A Transfer Bond is a Bail Bond for that can be for someone in another town or state. You could visit us at Advanced Bail Bonds and bail out your cousin in New Jersey. It also works the other way, when someone from out of the area needs to send bail for you.

  • A cash bond is much like the unsecured bond but with cash. Once the cash is paid you are ordered to appear in court. If you show up all of the money will be returned. If you miss or skip court, the money will be forfeited.

  • An extradition bond is used when you have turned yourself in to a different state. You will be given a time to return back to the requesting state.
