Wilmington Bail Bondsman Expands Coverage on the North Carolina Coastal Area

Wilmington, North Carolina -

Off The Hook Bail Bonds, a local bail bondsman based in Wilmington, NC, has expanded its coverage on the North Carolina Coastal Area, thus covering more counties with its offices in Wilmington, Southport, Bolivia, and Jacksonville. The counties they now cover include Onslow, New Hanover, Pender, Craven, Brunswick, and Columbus. They want to emphasize that as a local bail bondsman, they should offer more than a release from jail. They will help the person arrested or their family in sorting out the person’s legal situation. Helping the person get out of jail is important because it would be easier to plan and organize a defense strategy if the person is out of jail.

A spokesperson for Off The Hook Bail Bonds says, “Our Bail Bonds company is located in the heart of downtown Wilmington NC and we can get you or your loved one out of jail today. You're entitled by law to a fair defense and our bail bonds will help you do that in your home instead of a holding center.”

The spokesperson adds, “At Off The Hook Bail Bonds, your situation is our priority, and we guarantee high-quality and reliable service throughout the bail process. Our mission is to get your loved one out from behind bars and back home as fast as possible. To do so, we provide a wide range of services, from bail bonds to background checks, and flexible payment options that include pay-by-phone and online bond applications. We accept all major credit cards and offer financing plans depending on your situation and needs.”

The bail bond is a promise to the court that the arrested person will attend all scheduled court dates and appointments, which means the individual must make sure not to miss any of the proceedings. Failure to do so will require the person on bail or the co-signer to pay the full amount of the bond. If the person out on bail misses a court date without informing anyone, an arrest warrant will likely be issued.

Meanwhile, the knowledgeable bail bond agents from Off The Hook Bail Bonds would be able to offer an insight into the legal process, helping the defendant understand their rights and how they should proceed during the trial. They can also provide support through challenging times.

In general, it will take up to 8 hours or more for the person to get released from jail once a bail has been posted with a bondsman. However, this may vary depending on the specific county and court system involved.

With regards to the cost, the spokesperson explains, “The cost associated with using a bail bondsman depends on several factors including the amount of the bond set by the court and any other fees required by the company providing services. Generally speaking, most companies charge 10-15% of the total bond amount as their fee for service.”

Before posting the bond, the defendant will have to provide their name, date of birth, the address where they will be staying while out on bond (if applicable), contact information, and/or family members who may co-sign the release agreement (if applicable). Furthermore, the defendant posting bail will have to show proof that they have enough assets or financial resources to make the payment if necessary.

Launched in 1997, Off The Hook Bail Bonds has been serving Wilmington ever since. Furthermore, it has continued to gradually expand, adding more and more counties to serve. Their bail agents have both the knowledge and the experience to answer questions regarding the bail bond process. While only the lawyer of the accused can guide the client through the defense process and trial, they'll work hard to see that the person arrested can get out of jail to help them in planning their defense.
