How does the bail bond process work in Colorado?

The bail bond process is simple: call Mary Ellen's Bail Bonds at (303) 659-1800 or start online, we handle all the paperwork, post the bail bond with the court or jail, and your loved one is released. We walk you through every step.

How much does a bail bond cost in Colorado?

In Colorado, bail bond premiums are typically a percentage of the total bail amount. Mary Ellen's Bail Bonds also offers flexible payment plans to make the process more affordable for families.

Can I get a bail bond at night or on weekends?

Yes. Mary Ellen's Bail Bonds is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Call (303) 659-1800 any time for immediate assistance.

Do you offer payment plans for bail bonds?

Yes, Mary Ellen's Bail Bonds offers flexible and affordable payment plans so you can focus on what matters — getting your loved one home.

How long does it take to get someone out of jail after posting bail?

Release times vary by facility, but most Colorado jails release defendants within 2 to 8 hours of the bond being posted. Call Mary Ellen's Bail Bonds at (303) 659-1800 and we'll start the process immediately to minimize the wait.

What is the difference between a cash bond and a surety bond?

A cash bond requires paying the full bail amount to the court in cash, which is refunded after the case. A surety bond is posted by a licensed bail bond agent like Mary Ellen's Bail Bonds for a non-refundable premium — typically a fraction of the total bail — so you don't have to come up with the full amount.

What information do I need to post a bail bond?

To post a bail bond you'll need the defendant's full name, date of birth, the jail or facility where they're being held, the bond amount, and the charges if known. Mary Ellen's Bail Bonds can look up missing details for you — just call (303) 659-1800.

What happens if the defendant misses a court date?

If a defendant misses a court appearance, the court can issue a warrant and forfeit the bond. The co-signer becomes responsible for the full bail amount. Mary Ellen's Bail Bonds helps keep clients informed of court dates and can assist in resolving missed appearances quickly.

Do you post bonds at the Adams County Detention Facility in Brighton?

Yes. Our office is located in Brighton, CO just minutes from the Adams County Detention Facility, and we post bonds there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call (303) 659-1800 for immediate help.

Are bail bond premiums refundable?

No, the premium paid to a bail bondsman is a non-refundable fee for the service of posting the bond. It is regulated by the Colorado Division of Insurance and is the same regardless of the outcome of the case.
