Lake County Bail Bond Information
Because Lake County and Florida can change their bail bond procedures, it is always best to call either the Lake County Detention Centerat 352-742-4054, or the court in the jurisdiction (i.e. Municipal Court, District Court, etc.) where the offender was charged, and do this rightafter an arrestee has been booked.
Ask the staff at the Lake County Detention Center or the Lake County Court Clerk these specific questions:
- Is the defendant eligible for bail or a bond?
- How much will the bail or bond be, and what are the additional fees?
- Where do I go to pay it?
- Are there any days or times of the day or night when I cannot post bail?
- What types of payment are allowed? Cash? Money order? Credit card? What types of credit cards? Property or other collateral? Surety bonds?
- Do I have to use a bail or bond agent?
If you feel the bail is too high and you wish to get it reduced, contact a lawyer or the defendant's public defender and get them to look into what they can do to get a bail reduction. The sooner you get working on this the quicker you will get your loved one released.
This entire process will go smoother and faster with a criminal attorney or bail agent handling it for you.
