4 Advantages of Using a Bail Bond Service for Warrant Searches

Bail bond services can answer questions, supply help, and ensure your loved one gets released from jail in a timely manner. Before you even go through the bail bond process, you may need to know the details of possible warrants for your arrest. 

Many bail bond companies offer warrant searches, including in the state of Minnesota. A warrant search will determine several details and include a lot of valuable information. Instead of using online services or other resources, learn about some advantages of a warrant search done by a bail bond company.

1. Complete State Search

In the state of Minnesota, arrest warrants could vary by county. Basic searches online could lead you nowhere or leave you with the assumption you have no warrants out for your arrest. A bail bond company can complete full warrant searches that cover the whole state. When a bail bond company completes the search, you will know exactly what county the warrant comes from.

In some cases, you could have multiple warrants from multiple counties. A full breakdown will eliminate any surprises and ensure you know what warrants are in your name. With just your first and last name, a bail bond company can complete a full search and provide you with all the possible warrants with your name on them.

With the information, you can determine which warrants are actually yours based on the age, description, and other details found within the warrants. For example, there could be a warrant out for someone else with the same name as you.

A bail bond company can provide additional details like the date of birth or residential address. From there, you can determine if the warrant is for you or not.

2. Warrant Explanation

Along with the retrieval of warrants, a bail bond company can explain the warrants to you. A bail bond company can break down the different charges, the length of the warrant, and when the warrant was initially served. The warrant explanation will give you an idea of exactly what you're up against.

For example, you will find major differences between misdemeanor charges and criminal charges. If you have criminal charges against your name, then you could face jail time if you're found guilty. A bail bond company can further explain the charges and typical sentences involved.

You may find differences if you've never been arrested before or if you have a previous criminal record. If you do have multiple warrants, then a bail bond company can explain how the charges will work and if you would need multiple bail bonds or face different courtroom charges.

3. Money Preparation

A bail bonds company can provide a big help in the form of bail estimates. Bail amounts are typically determined by the crimes you get charged with. With the valuable information from the warrant search, you could estimate the total cost of your bail bond. For example, a company may estimate your bail at around $15,000. Then you would need $1,500 to cover the bail bond.

When you receive the knowledge ahead of time, you can prepare your finances before you turn yourself in. You can seek a co-signer, pull together some money, and have the full bail bond fee ready to go. The preparation will help reduce the amount of time you spend behind bars.

Some bail bond companies also offer payment plans. You or a co-signer can apply ahead of time to lock in a payment plan and ensure your payments are taken care of before you turn yourself in. The payment plan can help you in a time crunch and get you through the arrest and release much faster.

4. Faster Processing

When you complete a warrant search with a bail bond company, the company can help you prepare for when you need to turn yourself in and surrender to the warrant. The last thing you want to do is get arrested in public and spend extra time behind bars as you await bail. Along with the money prep, you can prepare everything you need for the bail bond.

Fill out paperwork, sign papers, and set up agreements. A bail bond representative can answer any questions you have and even go with you to the police station or courthouse. Once you arrive, your bail will process as quickly as possible. In some cases, you will spend very little time behind bars.

The fast processing allows you to move forward with your life and move on beyond the arrest warrants. In many cases, you can avoid missing work or any other obligations you may have.
