You may be able to find a bail bondsman that will get the person out, with you only having to pay them a portion of the $10,000. You will probably have to provide security, such as a lien on a house, or investment account. Your friend's attorney may be able to get the bond terms changed.

Good luck

It depends upon various factors, but the best thing to do is to hire an attorney before doing anything else. In many cases we are able to get the bond reduced. In some cases we are able to get someone out with no bond, or with 10% posted with the Court.paying a bondsman is a waste of money unless the Court requires one.
