In general, as long as you are bailable and have the means, you can get bailed out. Our company policy is to help people get out of jail whenever we can. This is not true with all bail bond companies.
There are bail bond companies that will surrender your bond if they find out you are in custody. The reason they do this is so you will have to post bail on that same case, AGAIN. Is this legal? Yes. Is this moral, ethical, etc.? We don't judge how other people run their businesses. We just like to make people aware of the different ways things are done.
For example, if you were already out on a $10,000 bail and you got arrested for a new charge and the bail on that was $5,000. We would post a new bond for you and you would only have to pay for the new bond which would be $500.
If you were bailed out by a company that decided to surrender the $10,000 bond, your bail now would be $15,000 instead of just $5,000. This would mean you would have to pay a bail bond premium of $1,500. If the company did surrender the bond, you would have no obligation to do business with them. At that point you could use another company to post the bonds since they are going to make you pay for them all over again.
These are the types of things people don't know about when they are calling bail bond companies. There is no way you would know unless you had been through this situation before.
