  • Commercial Bonds

    Express Bail Bonds offers commercial bail bonds to secure the release of an inmate arrested by law enforcement authorities. A commercial bond is provided by an insurance company through Express Bail Bonds acting as agent for the company. There is a 12% charge plus jail fees, depending on parish, of the amount of the bond to get the bond written. There is a minimum charge of $150 plus jail fees if the bond amount does not meet the percentage requirements. Upon acquittal, conviction, or other conclusion of the defendant’s case, the commercial bond is exonerated and returned to the insurance company. If the person who has been out on bond does not appear to all court dates, the full amount of the bond will be forfeited unless the defendant is found and returned.

  • felony Bonds

    Both minor and serious felonies can potentially lead to significant fines and/or imprisonment. If you or a loved one has been charged and convicted of a felony, you will need to appear in court on a certain date. Meanwhile, you may be eligible to be released on bond. If you are looking to hire an experienced felony bail bond agent, you have come to the right place. At Express Bail Bonds, we can offer top-notch bail bond services to get you released from jail quickly. Whether it is a regular surety bail bond or emergency bail bond, we have got your back.

  • property Bonds

    If you are seeking a property bond, be sure to read the entire document provided by the Clerk of Court. Due to new legal requirements set forth in the Code of Criminal Procedure, New Article 319 (effective June 23, 1993), the value of the security interest must be equal to the full amount of the bail as set by the court. These requirements shall not be waived. Under Repeated Article 315 Bail Reform Act of 1994 (effective September 1, 1994), Mortgage and Promissory notes submitted for security of property bonds need only cover the amount equal to the bond set by the court.

    NOTE: It is your responsibility to determine if you have enough equity in a property to post bond. There is no guarantee that the bond certificate will be acceptable to post bond. All fees paid for services rendered are non-refundable.

    When an individual is arrested for a crime, typically that person will be taken to a local law enforcement station for booking, prior to incarceration in a station lockup or parish jail. Once arrested and booked, the defendant has several options for release pending the conclusion of his or her case. Bail is designed to guarantee the appearance of a defendant in court at the time the judge directs.

  • drug charge Bonds

  • dui and dwi Bonds

    DUI and DWI bail bonds can be very serious. The penalties for these charges vary depending on the number of times someone has been charged previously. The state of Louisiana defines a DUI as operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or greater. Getting pulled over and charged with a DUI will lead to the person charged going to jail. That is why it is crucial to get yourself out of jail in order to meet with an attorney and prepare for your court date. Express Bail Bonds in Amite, LA can provide the bail bonds services you need, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call us today to get yourself or your loved one immediately released from jail.

  • Burglary, Robbery, And Theft Bail Bonds

    A burglary typically occurs when an individual breaks into a building and steals the owner’s possessions. This type of crime may also include other felony charges. After a suspect is arrested, they will have to go to court for their bail bond hearing. It is important to note that first- and second-degree burglary have different bail amounts.

    When an individual steals from us, we will say that a robbery has occurred. Robbery is, however, about much more than simply taking what isn’t theirs. If a person is arrested for robbery, it can mean that it has a violent component to the theft (e.g., armed robbery and aggravated robbery, among others). Because of the violence associated with the crime, robbery has the most severe consequences of the three (burglary, robbery, and theft).

    Theft is considered to be an umbrella term that covers situations like stealing money from an employer, shoplifting a pair of expensive shoes from a retail store, and more. Today, there are different classifications of theft, including grand theft.

Easy To Use

Payment Processing

The cost of a bail bond varies depending on a number of factors. By state law, all Louisiana bail bondsmen must charge no more or less than 12% of the total bond, plus applicable jail fees and application fees. For example, if John Doe has a bond of $10,000 at the Tangipahoa Parish Jail, we can calculate that 12% of $10,000 is equal to $1,200.00. Additionally, the Tangipahoa Parish Jail charges a minimum of $30 and a maximum of $60 in jail fees. This means that John Doe’s total bond premium will be no less than $1,230.00 and no more than $1,260.00.

We understand that this may represent a steep price, which is why we are proud to offer payment plans for approved applicants!

How It Works

  1. Bail is a financial arrangement that a bail bonding agency will make on behalf of the criminal defendant. A bail bondsman, acting for the defendant, will arrange with the court to have a suspect released from jail pending the trial in exchange for money or collateral, which may be cash, assets, or a bond.
  2. There are three options for release of a defendant:
    1. Surety Bond – You can use a bondsman to purchase a bond. You will then pay a fee consisting of 12% of the total bond amount plus applicable jail fees.
    2. Cash Bail – You can post cash for the full amount of the bond with the court or the jail.
    3. Release On Own Recognizance (R.O.R.) – A watch commander or a judge can decide to let the defendant go on their own recognizance.
  3. The question is, “How do I obtain a bail bond?” Answer: It’s simple and it’s quick – it may take only 30 minutes, at the most. We’ll need some information from you, such as the nature of your relationship to the person in jail, how long you have lived in your current place of residence, and how long you have been at your present job. This gives us a good understanding of you as a potential cosigner for the defendant in jail. It’s really very simple. Remember, bailing people out of jail is all we do!
  4. FACT: A bondsman guarantees to the court that the person will appear to face his or her charges.
