Indictment Bail Bonds FAQs
What does it mean to be indicted?
An indictment means a grand jury has reviewed the evidence and found enough grounds for the case to proceed to trial. It's a formal step in the criminal process, not a conviction.
Will bail change after an indictment?
It can. A judge may set a new bail amount, sometimes higher than the original bond, and in some cases issue a new warrant requiring the defendant to surrender again.
Do I need to post an entirely new bond after indictment?
Sometimes, especially if a new warrant is issued or the bail amount changes. We confirm the current status with the court so you know exactly what's required before paying anything.
