Bail Bonds Aggressive. Experienced. Professional.

Bail Bond Attorney in San Antonio

What is the Texas Bail Bond Process?

When you are arrested, in order to be released before your trial, you must post a bail bond. A bail bond is a sum of money that is paid and that could be forfeited if you do not show up for your legal proceedings. Law enforcement officials agree to trust that you will do as you are told, leveraging the severe negative financial and legal implications that could arise.

When an attorney, such as Derek W. Emmons, acts as your bail bondsman, there is a much greater possibility that the defense of the charges against you can start even before you are released from jail. Defense attorneys are well-versed in the criminal court system and with their combined experience and familiarity, they can begin setting the stage for an aggressive and comprehensive defense when they become a part of the bail bond process.

In addition, when your defense attorney in San Antonio is also your bail bondsman, the process can be simplified because there is one less entity involved in your situation. In turn, this can also produce considerable cost savings because your attorney will already know many of the facts of your case.

Your Defense Can Start Even Before You Are Released from Jail

There are many bail bond services in Texas, but another alternative for many people is to have an attorney post your bail bond instead. Because a bail bond is based on a defendant showing up in court, when a defense attorney also acts as a bail bondsman, it increases the likelihood that this will happen. An attorney will be more intimately involved in the trial process and will have more influence on a defendant than a separate service will.

Another thing to consider is that bond companies are not law firms and, as such, they cannot defend you in court, nor are they bound by attorney-client privilege. In other words, anything you discuss with a bail bondsman who is not an attorney can be passed along to law enforcement officials. With a bail lawyer acting as your defense attorney and as your attorney bail bondsman, you are ensured complete confidentiality, discretion, experience, and a streamlined legal process that will benefit you in many ways.
