TYPES OF FEDERAL BAIL BONDS

Federal Bond using Deeded Property (with Justification)

Most often, cash or real property must be pledged directly to the court to guarantee the defendants appearance in court and other conditions of bail. Unlike a bail bond used in state court which places liability for the defendants appearances on a bail bond company, Federal Bonds use no middle-man and require assets to be pledged directly to the Federal Court. A Federal Judge or Magistrate will determine the bail amount, the conditions of bail and how it should be submitted. In addition to cash or equity in real property the court may require additional things to secure the bond, such as a personal guaranty from friends and family and the surrender of the defendants passport.

This is the type of Federal Appearance Bond we can assist you with. We charge a flat fee based on the number of properties pledged and you can rest assured the bond will be correctly prepared and submitted quickly. Click for more details

Federal Bond (No Justification)

When a Federal Judge or Magistrate sets bail for a defendant and requires only a personal guarantee from one or more financially responsible people, this is considered a “Federal Bond with No Justification”. This means that collateral is not needed to guarantee the bond, only a personal promise by others to pay the bond if the defendant fails to appear in court or violates the conditions of bail. This type of bond can be easily prepared by the attorney handling your case or at the Attorney of the United States office (AUSA),

Corporate Surety Bond, a.k.a. Federal Bail Bond

Much like a state used “bail bond”, a Corporate Surety Bond is a financial guarantee to the court that the defendant will appear in court and guaranteed by an insurance policy written by a bail bond agency. Additionally, the Corporate Surety Bond guarantees ALL conditions of bail imposed on the defendant while out of custody pending trial. Conditions of federal bail can vary widely; examples such as restricting the defendants travel to a specific region, requiring weekly drug tests or limiting business activities are common. For this reason corporate surety bonds are not commonly used because the risk and liability to the bail bond companies are exceptionally high. When these bonds are used, they will typically cost 15% of the bail amount and secure collateral is required, such as a house with matching equity or cash collateral.
