FAQs About Our Tennessee Bail Bonding Services
Cash, credit cards, Venmo, CashApp and PayPal
Yes. As a bail bond company in Tennessee, we have to meet all the credentials needed to become a licensed bail bond agent in Tennessee. The Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance is the governing body responsible for issuing licenses to bail bond agencies and ensuring their compliance with established regulations.
In Tennessee, the establishment of the bail amount is typically done by local courts within 72 hours of a defendant's arrest. This means that within three days of being charged with a crime, an individual will know the amount required to secure their release from jail while awaiting trial. The swiftness of this process allows individuals to plan and secure their release as quickly as possible.
However, the exact time it takes to establish bail can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the court's schedule. It's important to note that the court's decision on the bail amount is based on various factors, such as the defendant's criminal history and the severity of the crime they are charged with.
When a person is arrested in Tennessee, several things will happen next. Firstly, law enforcement will check for any outstanding warrants, and if any are found, the individual will be held in custody until the warrant is dealt with. Next, the individual will undergo fingerprinting and have their identification and photographs taken. This process helps to confirm the person's identity and also helps to keep track of the individual in the system.
Once the initial steps are complete, the individual will be assigned a booking number, which serves as a unique identifier for their case. This booking number will be used in all court documents and communication moving forward. In most cases, a court appearance date will be set within 72 hours of the arrest, and this is when a judge will set the amount of bail, if applicable.
The cost of bail can vary depending on the crime charged, the defendant's criminal history, and other factors. In some cases, the judge may deny bail and keep the defendant in custody until the case goes to trial. In Tennessee, the cost of bail is often set by local courts, although some bail bond agencies may provide services to help secure release from jail.
* It's important to note that the process of being arrested and establishing bail can be complicated, so it's always recommended to consult with a professional bail bond agent like us, Platinum Bonding Company, and a criminal defense attorney for guidance and support.
We offer our bail bonding services in Bradley County, McMinn County, Hamilton County, Polk County, Rhea County, Bledsoe County, Sequatchie County, Marion County, Franklin County, and Grundy County, TN.
When you contact us, we'll verify the bond amount and determine who will pay the surety or partial payment required for us to secure your release. If you're paying the surety, we'll be at the jail as soon as possible to secure your release. If a co-signer such as a friend, spouse, or relative will be providing the surety, we'll contact them quickly and secure the amount, then secure your release.
