Given the high rates of arrests that are occurring every day, it would seem obvious that at one time or another someone will be falsely accused of doing something illegal. When this happens, the court will set a surety, which could run into millions depending on the severity of the case, which has to be lodged with the court so that the person can be free while waiting to go to trial. There is another way out though, rather than putting the whole sum in court, and that is to look for the services of a Somerset County bail bonds agent to work out the problem. A Sussex County bail bonds agent will put up the guarantee to the court after receiving ten per cent or so from the accused.

It works in such a way as the agent is now responsible for making sure that the accused will actually come back to court when the case comes before the judge. If he is prone to run away out of the vicinity, the agent will certainly be responsible for any penalties that the court deems fit to put on the agent.

The accused, for his part, will have to furnish guarantors for the whole amount but only put up about ten percent in cash or title deeds etc. However, this is a very dangerous game if he does not intend to go to court when the time is due. The court or agent can actually confiscate the goods or guarantees and this makes it a very expensive game indeed.

Once on the run, the accused will obviously be pursued by both the court and the agent. The agent, for his part, will probably send out private detectives or bounty style hunters to find the accused and bring him back. The court, on the other hand, will apply penalties and will certainly not take kindly to being held in contempt in this way.

The accused will get no sympathy from any quarter when he is finally found and brought to book, and it is at this time that he realizes that he made a big mistake by running away. He may also have to deal with family members who could possibly lose their homes because of his unruly behavior too.

It is obvious then that these agents do a good job by providing this relatively valuable service to people who find themselves in all kinds of problems. Although they take big risks, they obviously make a good living by guaranteeing virtual strangers and this means that the stranger will pay big for these services of course. Having an agent on hand is probably the best thing to do before any problems arise. But if this is not possible, then looking online is the next best thing. If someone has used an agent in the past, check with them on who it was and how they were treated. Word of mouth is great advertising and it means that the services of this agent has been tried and tested before.
