Being arrested and thrown into a holding tank of jail can be a very sobering moment. And if youre like most people, you want nothing more than to get out of jail and get on with your life. After all, who wants to be stuck in jail mixed in with very dangerous felons who have nothing to lose by hurting you.

This is when a person needs to rely on someone on the outside to help him or her get out of jail. And the only way that person can help you get out of jail is by posting bail for you.

After you ask your friend or loved one to post bail for you, youre stuck in jail wondering whats going on outside. Truth is, there is actually a lot going on to help get you released from jail.

Your friend or loved one has by now contacted a Vegas bail bonds company to assist them in posting the bail for you. Your friend or loved ones are subjected to a bunch of questions and need to show the bail company they are willing to cover the entire bail amount for you in the event you miss court or dont completely satisfy the courts directives.

While most bail amounts are outlined in a bail schedule, a court of jurisdiction does have the ability to revoke bail if they feel there are factors involved which deem the defendant too dangerous to be out on bail or poses a flight risk. The main objective is to determine whether the defendant will attend all court dates and not commit any more crimes while out on bail.

The courts may also instill conditions of release. This means the court has the power to make stipulations on your release, including surrendering your passport (so you dont leave the country), electronic monitoring, home detention, alcohol counseling, anger management classes and more.

Prosecutors may also file court papers to seek a revocation of a defendants bail. In a recent case in Las Vegas involving Maurice Carroll, Chief Deputy District Attorney Mike Staudaher argued that Carroll, a former process server and police officer, that Carroll was not a suitable candidate for bail after being arrested for choking his pregnant girlfriend while he was out on bail awaiting trial on two felony cases.

If you do post a bond with the bail bonds company and after your friend or loved one has completed all the paperwork, the bail bondsman will come and get you out of jail. It is up to you, and your cosigner, to then visit the bail bonds office within the next 24 hours so you, as the defendant, can read and sign over the terms and conditions of the bail agreement between you and the bail bonds company.

It is important you read the terms outlined within the bail agreement. Depending on several factors and the guidelines of the bail bonds agency, some agreements may restrict you from drinking, visiting bars, gambling, carrying a firearm, etc. The bail agent will go over, in detail, what is expected of you while youre out on their bond.

Any violations or failure to comply with these terms may result in a revocation of the bond by your bail bonds company and/or the courts.

This is a question we get quite often and one that many first time defendants and their loved ones may not be familiar with what to do after their loved one has been arrested. By contacting our Las Vegas bail bonds agency, we can go through with you and get you information on your loved one and go over, in detail, the steps necessary to bail them out and help them find an attorney to help them with their case.

When you get arrested, youre transported to jail and then booked into jail. Because of the process at the detention center and the facility itself, usually the first and foremost wishes of defendants are to get out of jail as quickly as possible. Jail is not a great place to be, especially if you can easily bail out of jail without much hassle.

In Nevada, attorneys cant bail people out of jail. Therefore, if you want to get out of jail youll have to go through a licensed bail bonds company first.

Bailing out of jail as quickly as possible is not only good for the defendant in terms of psychological and personal comfort factors, but by bailing out as soon as possible, it also gives the defendant and their loved ones more time to seek and retain an attorney so they can start working on your case.

Our first priority is getting the defendant out of jail and getting them home to their loved ones as quickly as possible.

In the latest Las Vegas bail bonding news, the North Las Vegas man accused of shooting and wounding a North Las Vegas police officer is being held on more than $200,000 bail.

Christopher Burcham, 25, is being held on charges of attempted murder in the first degree and unlawful possession of a firearm in the March 26, 2012 incident where Burcham was allegedly intoxicated and shot at two North Las Vegas police officers.

Relatives of Burcham reported he had been frustrated about being unemployed for nearly five months and was also drinking the night with family members at a residence near Centennial Parkway and North Aliente Parkway/Simmons Street. Family members report an argument ensued and Burcham brandished a gun and started waving it around. Family members soon left and called police.

Two North Las Vegas police officers initially answered the call and upon entering the residence, Burcham opened fire at them, severely injuring one officer. It was reported that both officers returned fire and Burcham soon surrendered to authorities.

The injured officer was sent to the hospital and was released a few days later.

Burcham was booked into the North Las Vegas Detention Center and was later transferred to the Clark County Detention Center.

According to Clark County records, Burcham is being held on four separate counts for a total of $210,000 bail. Bail was set at $100,000 per charge for the two attempted murder charges and $5,000 for possession of a firearm and $5,000 for the charge of discharging a firearm within a structure.

Burcham remains in the Clark County Detention Center and is scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing on April 19, 2012 at 9:30 am.
