How Do Las Vegas Bail Bonds Work? The process of Las Vegas bail bonds start from the time the police arrest the accused person. The arrested individual is produced before the judge. If it is not a very serious crime and the defendant is not a flight risk then the judge sets a bail amount. The arrested person can post this bail and get out of the jail for the time being until the next court hearing resumes. While it seems an easy and simple process, the problem is that the bail amount is usually very high. It is difficult for the family members and friends to arrange so much money at such a short notice. It is here that the services of a bail bond agent are needed and prove valuable. A bail bondsman pays the bail amount on behalf of the defendant. For providing this service, the bondsman charges a fee which is about 15% of the total bail amount. The bond amount is set at a very high level so that the defendant has an incentive to return to the court on the scheduled date.

For many years, Henness & Haight, Injury Attorneys, was one of the best kept secrets in Las Vegas personal injury law. We were in business for almost seven years before we advertised. At first, we were not even listed in the phone book. Every case came to us by word of mouth. Today, we advertise on television, in the phone book and on the Web. However, a large majority of our cases still come to us by referrals from past clients and other attorneys. No matter how you came to hear about our law firm, by the end of your case we want you to be confident to refer us to your friends and family members who have been injured. A referral is the biggest compliment we can receive.
