Role of a Bail Bondsman

A bail bondsman is any person or corporation that will act as a surety and pledge money or property as bail for the appearance of persons accused in court. Although banks, insurance companies and other similar institutions are usually the sureties on other types of contracts such entities are reluctant to put their depositors’ or policyholders’ funds at the kind of risk involved in posting a bail bond.
