FAQ
The court assigns you a bail amount depending on your charges. You can pay the full amount to the court and bail yourself out or you can go through a bail agency like Gotham if you need help. What this means is Gotham will put up the entire amount of your bail at the price of 10% of the bail amount. The 10% is billed to the defendant and cosigner and is paid either in full or in monthly installations on a payment plan.
