Just Been Released On Bail? 4 Things You Need To Do

by Vernon Ortiz

If you just worked with a bail bond company and you were released from jail, before you start to celebrate that you are out of jail, there are a few things you should do.

Meet With the Bail Bond Company

When you are dealing with setting up your bail from behind bars, you are dealing with a lot of stress, and it is easy to forget or not understand all the details of your arrangement. After you get out on bail, meet with your bail bond company.

Make sure you understand any payment arrangement you set up or how your collateral works. Be sure you fully understand the conditions of your bail; your bail bond agent can review them with you. If you don't follow your bail's conditions, your bail agent can arrest you and take you back to jail.

Talk With Your Co-Signer

If someone co-signed on your bail with you, you will want to sit down and talk with them. Ensure that you both have the same understanding of how your bail process will work and that you are on the same page.

The person who co-signed will want to know that you are going to show up for court and will want to make sure you understand how serious that obligation is. They may want to get your reassurance that you are on the same page.

If you told the co-signer that you would pay them back, work together to create a realistic payment plan so you are on the same page. As you are fighting charges, you don't want to deal with any additional stress.

Arrange Your Court Dates

Next, you need to make sure you know when your court dates are. You need to make sure you understand when you are expected to show up in court.

Put the date on the calendar in your phone, set a reminder on your phone, hang up reminders in your home, and ask other people to remind you so that you don't forget about your court date. If you fail to appear, you could be arrested, your bail could be revoked, and you could end up having to go back to jail.

Communicate With Your Work

If you missed work, you are going to need to check in with your employer. You will also need to guarantee that you can have time off work to attend your court dates. You need to make sure that your schedule is arranged to make it court, as not making it to court can cost you.

After you get out of jail on bond, meet with the bail company and make sure you understand the bail conditions. If you have a co-signer, talk with them and make sure you are on the same page. Work to arrange your life to make all of your court dates and ensure your bail isn't revoked.
