NJ Bail Bond Process & The Court System
Bail is used to guarantee the appearance of a criminal defendant in court. Our licensed bail agents (also known as a bail bondsman) can answer all your specific questions or give you more bail bond information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Please call at 732-277-9040.

When an individual is arrested, generally, they will be taken to a local law enforcement station for booking. During the arrest and booking process, bail will be set, if applicable. After they have been booked, the defendant has several options for release.

They may be released on a citation, they may be released on their Own Recognizance (meaning their own promise to appear in court), they may post the total amount of bail in cash directly with the jail, in some situations you can post real property directly with the court or a person may be released on a bail bond.

Release Process
The detainee is brought from the cell, personal belongings are collected and accounted for and the individual receives paperwork explaining the charges and where and when to appear in court.
