Bail Bonds Chambersburg, PA

After the courts set the bail amount in Franklin County, PA, the defendant has an opportunity to then pay the amount and be free until and during their lower court proceedings. However, bail is sometimes set so high that it becomes impossible for that person to pay. At that point they enlist a bail bondsman to arrange to have their bail paid. A bail bondsman will make arrangements to pay the full amount of the bail but only after coming to an agreement with the defendant that includes collateral, such as cash, jewelry, property or other assets. Of course, there is a non-refundable fee the defendant must pay the bail bondsman—usually between 10% and 15%. After Hours Bail Bonds in Chambersburg, PA is a trusted, respected bail agent.
