Common questions
The honest answers, in order.
How fast can someone be released?
Once paperwork is signed and the bond is posted, our average release time is 2–4 hours. Actual timing depends on the booking facility's workload — we keep you updated.
What does a bail bond actually cost?
Colorado is a 15% fee state — the premium is a one-time, state-regulated cost on the total bail amount. Bonds over $5,000 with an approved cosigner can qualify for 10%. Payment plans are available.
Do I need to drive to your office?
Usually no. We send paperwork electronically when the facility supports online posting, so you can start the process from home, work, or the parking lot of the jail.
What documents do you need?
A government-issued ID for the cosigner, basic information about the person in custody (full name, date of birth, the booking facility), and the bail amount if it has been set. We walk you through the rest on the call.
Are you available outside business hours?
Open 24 hours a day, every day of the year. A licensed bondsman — not a call center — answers the phone any time of day or night.
Which Colorado counties do you cover?
All Colorado counties. Our office is in Denver but our paperwork can travel anywhere in the state.
