If you’re arrested in Platte County or the surrounding areas there’s a few steps that must be followed, including posting bail. Once a judge has assigned you a bail amount you can start looking for bail bonds companies. The process to getting released can take up to a couple of hours, dependent on the amount of your bond. Bratten Bail Bonds offers help with two main kinds of bail bonds:

• Surety Bond: With this type of bond, you would pay the bail bonds company a non-refundable 10% of the total amount of bail, then the bail bonds company guarantees the entire amount to the court. A co-signer or collateral might be required for this. If you fail to appear for any hearings this can lead to bond forfeiture and additional costs.
• Property Bond: This type of bond is not as common and has some requirements –
  • Must be a Missouri resident and must be at least 21 years of age
  • You cannot use your own property
  • The property must be located within Missouri and prove ownership
  • Property must have sufficient equity; a paid tax bill or other documentation must be provided
  • A lien will be placed on the property and the court can foreclose if you miss court hearings
