Both Honolulu residents and tourists can find themselves in jail. They’ll both probably need a Bond Agent Honolulu to be released from jail as soon as possible. When the defendant and their lawyer appear before the judge to hear the charges, the judge will also determine if bail is appropriate in that specific case. If it is, the defendant will need a licensed professional to post the bond. The bond company makes money, by charging a percentage of the bond as a fee. Most defense attorneys can recommend a bail company to their client.
A good Bond Agent Honolulu company is available 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Hawaii is a bit different from other locations, because of the number of islands. However, companies located in the state know how to cope with island travel. A Honolulu bail company can have an agent on Oahu, Maui, or the Big Island very quickly. It’s an added bonus if the bail company has been in business for years, because the bond agent will know all of the court officials. They will trust that his client will appear in court to face the charges.
Defendants must be prepared to provide detailed personal information. If they do not appear in court, the Bond Agent Honolulu will use this information to track them down. Not only do they have to give their own name and address, they have to list family members and close friends and their addresses. The bail bondsman will want to know about their tattoos, because these are unique identifiers that will help them determine if they’ve found the right person. In addition to a description on the application, they may even take pictures of their tattoos. All the requested information has to be provided. Lying on a bond application is a crime. An additional charge will be filed and bail will probably be revoked.
