Attorney bonds are a type of bail bond where a defendant hires an attorney who then posts a bond on their behalf, often allowing the defendant to be released from jail without using a traditional bail bondsman.

Key Features of Attorney Bonds…

• Issued by Attorneys – Instead of going through a bail bondsman, some attorneys can post bonds for their clients.
• Alternative to Bail Bondsmen – In some jurisdictions, courts allow attorneys to act as sureties for their clients.
• Tied to Legal Representation – The defendant usually must hire the attorney for legal defense as part of the arrangement.
• May Have Lower Costs – Some defendants prefer attorney bonds since attorneys might charge lower fees than bail bondsmen, but this varies by case and location.
• Court Approval Required – Not all attorneys can issue bonds, and the court must approve the arrangement.
