Getting arrested in Orlando or having a loved one in jail can be stressful, confusing, and overwhelming. The good news is that help is available 24 hours a day.
At Nelson Bail Bond, our job is to make the bail process fast, simple, and affordable for families across Central Florida.
Here’s everything you need to know about how to get a bail bond in Orlando, explained step by step.
Step 1: Contact a Licensed Orlando Bail Bondsman
The first step is to call a licensed bail bond agent.
You can reach Nelson Bail Bond anytime, day or night at (407) 616-7894.
When you call, we’ll ask for basic information such as:
The defendant’s full name
The jail or facility (usually Orange County Jail)
The booking number (if available)
The bail amount (we can look it up for you)
We handle all communication with the jail and guide you through the next steps.
Step 2: Understand the Bail Amount and Fees
In Florida, bail amounts are set by the court or a standard bond schedule depending on the offense.
Instead of paying the full amount, you can pay a small percentage — typically 10% — to a licensed bail bond company like ours.
💡 Example:
If bail is $5,000, your cost would be $500 (plus small state fees).
This fee is non-refundable, as it covers the risk and service provided by the bondsman.
Step 3: Complete the Paperwork
Once you agree to move forward, you’ll sign a few short documents — we can complete these electronically or in person at our Orlando office.
These forms include:
Bail bond application
Indemnity agreement (a promise to ensure the defendant appears in court)
Payment agreement
Our agents explain everything clearly so you understand your rights and responsibilities.
Step 4: We Post the Bond at the Jail
After paperwork and payment are complete, we immediately post the bond at the jail.
We work directly with the Orange County Jail and nearby facilities, so release usually happens within 2–6 hours, depending on the case load and time of day.
Step 5: The Defendant Is Released
Once the bond is processed, the defendant will be released from custody with the understanding that they must:
Attend all scheduled court dates
Follow all bond conditions set by the court
We’ll provide all necessary court appearance details and reminders to help you stay compliant.
Step 6: Attend Court and Close the Case
After release, it’s crucial that the defendant shows up for court.
When the case concludes, the bond is exonerated (released), and your obligation ends.
If the defendant fails to appear, the court may revoke the bond and issue a warrant — but our agents help families handle these situations quickly and professionally.
