Get Your Loved One Out of Jail
The amount of bail depends on the severity of the crime, but is also at the judge's discretion. Some jurisdictions have bail schedules which recommend a standard bail amount. In determining bail, a judge may take this amount into account, but will also consider the defendant's criminal record (if any) and his or her history of showing up for past court appearances. Once the defendant is booked and bail is set, someone may then use a bail bondsman (or "bail agent").
Using a bail bondsman is one method used to obtain the release of a defendant awaiting trial on criminal charges. The bail agent executes a document that promises to forfeit the sum determined by the court if the defendant fails to return for the trial date.
If bail is posted by a bail agent, there is a non-refundable fee of twelve percent (12%) of the amount of bail. A fee is also assessed in connection with the issuance of every criminal bond posted within each parish to the jail (LPSO $30 bond fee). The bail agent and the indemnitor become liable to the court for the full amount of the bond if the defendant fails to appear. The bail agent has power of attorney until all obligations are fulfilled.

Get a Bail Bond NowDon't Wait To Get Arrested
So you're riding down the street when you get pulled over for a busted taillight. Shouldn't be a big deal… right? Well, did you forget to pay a traffic ticket and not show up for court? You could be going to jail immediately! Failing to show up for court is just one way to have a warrant issued for your arrest. If you know there is a warrant in your name, there are several things you need to know so that you minimize jail time — or possibly avoid jail altogether.
At Dauthiers Bail Bonds we are trained and educated to assist you in gathering information about your warrant, posting bail for your warrant, and helping you get the warrant worked through the system. If you believe you have a warrant of any kind, contact us by phone to get more information — without the intimidation of visiting the courthouse.
When you contact Dauthiers Bail Bonds, we may be able to determine your bail amount before we even meet! Certain warrants have predetermined bail amounts — that's good news, because it means you could post bail without spending a single day in jail. (Warrants issued in relation to serious felony charges may not have this option.)
A bail bond is the most common option to avoid arrest on an outstanding warrant. Call us and we will determine the status of your warrant and give you payment options — you may qualify for our flexible payment option. We then post a surety bond to allow you to remain jail-free. After the bond is posted, the warrant is recalled and a court date is set for your offense.

Answers To Common Questions
The bail amount is set by a judge during a bail hearing. The judge will consider a variety of factors, including the severity of the crime, previous convictions, the defendant's ties to the community, family, and whether or not they have steady employment.
"I can't afford the bail!" That's where we can help. If you cannot afford bail, you need to hire a bail agent such as Dauthiers Bail Bonds. You will pay a small fee to the agent, who will take on the responsibility of the full bail amount.
When contacting Dauthiers Bail Bonds, make sure you know:
Nowhere — we come to you! We are mobile bail bond agents, available 24/7 at 225-252-9429. We'll meet you wherever works best to get the bond posted as quickly as possible.
FAST! We are one of the fastest bail bondsmen in the state. As soon as you have made your payment arrangement (any premiums paid / collateral assigned), we post the bond! We pride ourselves on the fastest posting to ensure we are doing everything we can to process your loved one.
While we do everything faster here at Dauthiers Bail Bonds, the release process at the jail can take a short time or several hours. It depends on the circumstances and how crowded the jail is. If you'd like, we can contact you when your loved one is available at the jail. We do our best to make this process easy and comfortable.
After the person has been released, they must show up for all assigned court proceedings and meet any conditions set by Dauthiers Bail Bonds.
If the defendant fails to appear in court, the bail agent will be required to pay the full bail amount. If this happens, or if the defendant violates any bail conditions, the bail agent will locate the defendant and take them back to jail. If the defendant does not make their court date you could lose any collateral that was signed over with the bond — but as long as the defendant complies with the terms set by the bail agent and shows up for all court dates, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
Once the trial is over you are no longer obligated to the bond. It does not matter whether the defendant was found innocent or guilty.
When you contact Dauthiers Bail Bonds, we may be able to determine your bail amount right over the phone. Certain warrants have predetermined bail amounts — good news, because it means you could post bail without having to spend one day in jail! Warrants issued in relation to serious felony charges may not have this option.
An arrest warrant simply means that you have not yet been taken into custody for an offense or in connection to a criminal act. Sometimes law enforcement can identify you as a suspect in a case and you may not even be aware there is a warrant for your arrest. However, if you are aware of your warrant and you are currently running from the law, it could be really bad — you could be facing much higher bail, or they could arrest you without the option of bail.
Yes — a bail bond is the most common option to avoid arrest on an outstanding warrant. Contact Dauthiers Bail Bonds and we will determine the status of your warrant and give you payment options; you may qualify for our flexible payment option. We will then post a surety bond to allow you to remain jail-free. After the bond is posted, the warrant is recalled and a court date is set for your offense.
Yes… but it may cost more in the long run.

Know Your Constitutional Rights
General information about your rights during police encounters. This is not legal advice — for legal advice, talk to a lawyer. More detail is available from the ACLU's Know Your Rights resources.
Stay calm. Don't run. Don't argue, resist or obstruct the police, even if you are innocent or police are violating your rights. Keep your hands where police can see them. You do not have to answer any questions. You can say, "I do not want to talk to you" and walk away calmly, or ask if you are free to go. If the answer is yes, you can consider calmly and silently walking away — do not run.
If the officer says you are not under arrest but you are not free to go, then you are being detained. Being detained is not the same as being arrested, though an arrest could follow.
The police can "pat down" the outside of your clothing only if they have reasonable suspicion that you might be armed and dangerous. If they search any more than this, say clearly, "I do not consent to a search." If they keep searching anyway, do not physically resist — but you have the right to refuse consent for any further search. If you do consent, it can affect you later in court.
Once detained, police may ask for your name, and in some states you can be arrested for refusing to provide it. If you are under arrest, you have a right to know why. You have the right to remain silent and cannot be punished for refusing to answer questions. If you wish to remain silent, tell the officer out loud.
Stop the car in a safe place as quickly as possible. Turn off the car, turn on the internal light, open the window part way and keep your hands on the wheel. Upon request, show your driver's license, registration and proof of insurance. Officers can ask you to step outside of the car and may separate passengers and drivers to question them, but no one has to answer any questions. Both drivers and passengers have the right to remain silent.
If you are a passenger, you can ask if you are free to leave. If the officer says yes, sit silently or calmly leave. Even if the officer says no, you have the right to remain silent.
If an officer asks to look inside your car, you can refuse to consent to the search. Police cannot search your car without your consent unless they have probable cause to believe criminal activity is likely taking place, that you have been involved in a crime, or that there is evidence of a crime in your car. If you do not want your car searched, clearly state that you do not consent. The officer cannot use your refusal as a basis for doing a search.
Do not resist arrest, even if you believe the arrest is unfair. The officer must advise you of your constitutional rights: to remain silent, to an attorney, and to have an attorney appointed if you can't pay. Exercise all of these rights even if the officers don't tell you about them. Do not tell the police anything except your name — anything else you say can and will be used against you.
Say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Repeat this to every officer who tries to question you. Don't give explanations or excuses. Don't say anything, sign anything or make any decisions without a lawyer.
Within a reasonable time after your arrest or booking you have the right to a local phone call. Officers may not listen to a call to your lawyer, but they can listen to calls to other people. You must be taken before a judge as soon as possible — generally within 48 hours of your arrest. Memorize the phone numbers of your family and your lawyer, and make emergency plans if you have children or take medication.
You do not have to let police into your home unless they have certain kinds of warrants. Ask the officer to slip the warrant under the door or hold it up to the window so you can inspect it. A search warrant allows police to enter the address listed on the warrant, and officers can only search the areas and for the items listed. An arrest warrant allows police to enter the home of the person listed on the warrant if they believe the person is inside.
Even if officers have a warrant, you have the right to remain silent. If you choose to speak to the officers, step outside and close the door.
Police misconduct cannot be challenged on the street. Don't physically resist officers or threaten to file a complaint. Write down the officers' badge numbers, names, patrol car numbers and agency — you have a right to ask for this information. Try to find witnesses and get their names and contact information. If you are injured, seek medical attention first, then take pictures of the injuries as soon as you can.
You can file a written complaint with the agency's internal affairs division or civilian complaint board — in most cases anonymously if you wish. You can also call a lawyer or contact your local ACLU office.
