Common Questions, Clear Answers

When someone is arrested, the court sets a bail amount—a financial guarantee that they will return for trial. If you cannot pay the full amount to the court directly, you can contact us. You pay a small percentage of the total bail (the premium), and we post a bond for the full amount. This allows your loved one to be released while their case is pending.

In Louisiana, the standard fee (premium) for a commercial bail bond is typically set by state regulation (usually around 12% of the total bail amount). For example, if bail is set at $10,000, the fee to our agency would be roughly $1,200. We offer flexible payment plans to help make this affordable for families on a budget.

The money paid to Best Deal Bail Bonds (the premium) is non-refundable. This is the fee for our service and the risk we assume by posting the full bond. However, if you posted collateral (like a car title or cash) over and above the premium, that collateral is returned to you once the case is fully resolved and the bond is exonerated by the court.
