If you’ve been arrested and need a company specializing in Smithfield NC Bail Bonds? Unquestionably the judge or magistrate will, within 48-hours of the arrest, set a bond. The bond hearing determines the amount of bail bond money needed to place with the courts to get out of jail. A Smithfield NC bail bond amount is determined by many factors, including the nature of the criminal charge and your previous criminal history.
If the bond amount isn’t paid, you remain incarcerated until your scheduled date and time in court. Although the Smithfield NC justice system promises a speedy trial, many people find themselves sitting behind bars for many months before their hearing takes place.
Many people who’ve been charged with a crime and placed in jail do not have on hand the hundreds to thousands of dollars needed to make the bond. DJ’s Bail Bonds comes to the rescue, making it possible to free yourself from the confines of jail even when these large sums of cash are unavailable. Using the services of a licensed bail bondsman like DJ’s allows you the freedom that you crave without the expense that you do not.
For example, if your Johnston County bond is $10,000, a fee of $1,500 is needed to get out of jail using a bondsman service. In the event you can’t pay the fee in full upfront, a DJ’s Bail Bondsman can put you on a payment plan. Once the fee is paid and the paperwork completed, you’re freed from jail on the promise of appearing in court on the scheduled date and time.
A co-signer is needed to sign the bond with a bondsman. The co-signer is assuming the financial responsibility of the bond and guarantees your appearance in court. Anyone can serve as a co-signer for your bond, whether it is a friend, family member or even clergy member. However, this person is responsible for paying the remaining bond money should you fail to appear in court.
Signing a bail bond guarantees the individual’s appearance in court on the specified date and time. Failure to appear in court on the specified date and time results in the bond being revoked. A warrant for your arrest is then issued. The original bond amount then becomes due and payable to the bondsman.

DJ’s Bail Bonds accepts cash payments for bond amounts. PayPal, credit cards, and debit cards are also accepted as payment. Monies due are paid to DJ’s Bail Bonds rather than the courts.

Remember, if you fail to appear in court, the property that is used as collateral and is forfeited and becomes the property of the bondsman.
It is scary to be arrested and placed in jail, whether you’ve committed the crime you’re charged with or not. You’ve lost all your freedoms and rights the moment that you go to jail. Life as you know it feels it will never be the same. An arrest can tarnish your good name and reputation. Moreover, it can cause you to lose your job and other consequences. A speedy Bondsman service can get you out of jail before anyone catches wind of the arrest.
