Lake County Bail Bonds

Help for Those Arrested in Lake County, FL

Lake County literally sits in the middle of Florida between Ocala and Orlando. The area was originally part of Sumter and Orange counties until it became its own county in 1887. Equal to its name, the county holds a long list of lakes popular for fishing, boating and other water sports.

In the southern part of Lake County is the city of Groveland which holds a very dark and horrific true story, ‘The Groveland Four‘ that was written about in newspapers throughout the country and played a large part in the development of civil rights.

Why It’s Important to Know Your Legal Rights Before, During and After an Arrest

The rights of U.S. citizens have come a long way, but it’s still important to be aware of your legal rights when under arrest. First and most importantly, anything you say may be used against you unless the Miranda Rights are not recited to you by the arresting officer.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

Bail Vs Bond

Bail is the amount of money demanded by the county magistrate in exchange for the release of an inmate while waiting for his trial. The bail amount is set based on the type of crime committed and also the criminal history of the accused. The bail amount is usually listed as ‘bond amount’ on the county’s police blotter underneath the arrestee’s mugshot and arrest information.

A defendant eligible for pretrial release is offered the option to either pay the full bail amount set by the court or to contact a bail bondsman who will issue a surety bond allowing the inmate’s release for a small fraction of the full bail amount.

If the court clerk is paid the full amount of bail directly, the cash bail is refundable minus any required court fees. When dealing with a bail bonds agent, any money paid for the inmate’s release is non-refundable.
