ASAP Bail Bonds Is Caring

The justice system is not designed to be personable or caring.

Burglary

Simply put, burglary refers to a crime that involves theft from property. If someone breaks into a home, business, or car with the intent to steal something or commit another crime, they can be charged with burglary. Due to an almost infinite number of variables that can be involved with any charge, it is impossible to discuss every kind of burglary charge on this page, but we are happy to discuss a specific charge over the phone or in person.

There are several degrees of burglary, and the differences revolve around the type of property that was broken into. For example, it is a first degree felony to break into any home, building, vehicle, watercraft, aircraft, or railroad car, if it is designed to be a place where people live. Second degree burglary takes place when someone breaks into a building or craft that is not intended as a dwelling. While these differences may not seem large, they can have a profound impact on the amount of prison time one might face. A first degree burglary conviction carries a sentence of 1-20 years, while a second degree conviction sentence can mean 1-5 years in prison.

Robbery

Robbery is similar to burglary in that it involves one person taking something from another person. However, robbery is different because it means that a person takes that property directly from the victim, usually by force, intimidation, or threat. The charge of robbery is severe, and is even more severe if a weapon was used in the commission of the robbery.

A robbery conviction can entail anywhere from 10 years to life in prison, or even the death penalty. The severity of the punishment can also be affected by who was robbed. For example, in Georgia, if someone robs and harms a pharmacist, and takes any controlled substance from the pharmacy, they face a minimum of 15 years in prison.

People who have been charged with a robbery may face much higher bail that other defendants, if they receive bail at all. The inherently violent nature of robbery leads many judges to order defendants held until their hearing.

If someone you care about has been charged with burglary or robbery and they have a set bail amount, please call ASAP Bail Bonds in Gwinnett, Barrow, or Cobb County. We will work as hard as we can, as fast as we can, to get them out of jail on an affordable bail bond

What Is Bail?

Bail is when someone who has been arrested and charged with a crime is released from jail before their trial. In the United States, it is fairly common for the court to put a number of conditions on the release of a defendant, including money, as well as restrictions on behavior. For example, it is a near-universal condition for release that the defendant not engage in criminal behavior. Other conditions may include refraining from drugs and alcohol, attending counseling, or being restricted from visiting certain places or spending time with certain people.

How is the Bail Amount Set?

First, the severity of the crime. For minor traffic offenses and non-violent misdemeanors, the bail conditions may be fairly lenient. Felonies and violent crimes often come with much more strict restrictions and higher cash bail amounts, if the judge sets bail at all.
Second, the criminal record, or lack of a criminal record, of the defendant may influence the court’s decision. Non-violent, first-time offenders bail is usually set lower than the bail of someone who is accused of a violent crime, or who is a repeat offender.
Third, a judge may deny someone bail if they believe that the defendant is at risk of fleeing before their trial, or if the judge is concerned that the defendant poses a risk to the safety of the public.

As time has gone on, the amount of bail has increased to the point where only the wealthiest people could afford to put up enough cash. In order to help ordinary people get out of jail, bail bondsmen provide the cash to the court up front in exchange for a financial agreement with the defendant. For a small fee, called a premium, the bondsman will pay the court the full bail amount. As long as the defendant shows up to their court date, the bail is returned to the bondsman.

If the defendant does not show up for their court date, then the bail is forfeited. If the defendant went through a bondsman, the bondsman can collect that money or the collateral listed in the bond agreement.

How Much Does a Robbery or Burglary Bail Bond Cost?

There is no set fee for a bail bond, but 10 percent of the total cost of bail is fairly standard. When you call ASAP Bail Bonds, we can discuss the specifics of your case and the overall cost of a bond, as well as any necessary collateral
