You should always check-in for the details about the fees as well as the interest rate of the payment plans.

Do you need a co-signer?
The defendant's family needs to ask the bail bond agent or the company about the co-signer rules and guidelines. It will help you to know whether or not there's a need for a co-signer or not. The need for a co-signer depends on various factors that comprise of the individual's case details, the criminal record, the credit details, and the like. It is also essential to know whether the defendant is considered a flight risk.
