Being arrested and charged with DUI is very serious and naturally your first instinct is to hire an attorney to help you fight the charges against you. That’s going to be difficult to do from inside a jail cell, so what you really need to do is contact a reputable local bail bondsman to help with your release. If you have never needed to post bail before, it’s understandable that the process may be a little confusing at first, but fortunately for you it’s designed to be as quick and painless as possible.
It all begins with a call to a DUI Bail Bonds in Minnesota bondsman. He will come down and meet with you to gather necessary information like your places of residence and employment as well as information regarding any prior criminal record you may have. Although this is all very personal information, it will be held in the strictest professional confidence and it will never be released to a third party unless you give specific permission. From this point, the next step will be for you to sign the bail agreement. This agreement stipulates that you promise to pay a percentage of the bond fee, sometimes called the premium. The balance of the bail amount, which your bail bondsman will then pay, will be repaid by you, based on the arrangement you make with the bail bondsman.
You also will agree to show up for all legally-required court appearances. Your bail bondsman will go over all of the details with you, but you should know ahead of time that, if collateral is used as all or part of your premium payment, it will not be released until your case has been settled. If you’re arranging bail for a friend or relative, the process works the same way, with the exception that you will be the one paying the premium, agreeing to the repayment arrangements, and taking the responsibility for seeing that the individual is present in court when required.
DUI Bail Bonds in Minnesota are not that hard to arrange and your bondsman will work with you to find a mutually acceptable financial arrangement. He knows that you are considered innocent until proven guilty in court and will treat you with respect, courtesy, and professionalism in all dealings. The pros at Liberty Bail Bonds will always be available to answer any questions you may have during the process.
