Cash-Only Bail Bonds in Yavapai County
Court-ordered cash-only bail has been found to be unconstitutional in some States, the argument being that cash-only bail deprives a defendant of their constitutional rights to use a surety, thus forcing the defendant to submit only one form of bail...cash. The State of Arizona does not hold to that argument. Cash-only bail bonds may be ordered by the Court in several instances;
1. when a defendant has failed to make payments on a fine,
2. when a defendant has failed to appear for a hearing, and
3. when a defendant is being held for extradition on a warrant from another State.
Naturally, there are no hard fast rules, each Court may administer cash-only bonds based upon its own discretion.
Although anyone may post a cash bond, not everyone has the cash to post. With sufficient collateral to secure the bond, we can post our cash for bail. We can also act as a third-party and post your cash. Fees associated with cash-only bail bonds are higher than typical surety bonds, they are dependant upon many factors, including: collateral offered, if the defendant lives locally, and defendant's Court history.
