Lake County Bail Bonds Questions & Answers

Frequently asked questions about bail, bond fees, and release in Lake County. Open any row below for plain answers, or view our full bail bonds FAQs.

How Do Bail Bonds Work?
Call Altman Bail Bonds, Inc. at 352-343-6090, day or night. Have the defendant's full name, and booking location ready. We will research the arrest information such as charge, bail amount, or any first appearance holds. We explain the bail amount, premium, and paperwork on the phone. Many bonds are completed entirely by phone. Once posted at the Lake County Detention Center, release typically takes 1-3 hours.
How fast can someone get out after a bond is posted?
Once we post the bond at the Lake County Detention Center, release typically takes between 1 to 3 hours. The exact timeframe depends entirely on the jail's internal processing speed, booking volume, and shift changes. We post the paperwork immediately to get the release clock started as fast as possible.
Can I handle bail by phone?
Yes, Altman Bail Bonds offers bail by phone in Lake County. We can begin the paperwork, process payment, and arrange release remotely. If specific signatures or physical ID verification are required for your case, we will schedule a brief visit to our Tavares office.
Do you offer no collateral bail bonds?
Yes, we offer no collateral bail bonds for most arrests in Lake County. This means you do not need to pledge property, like a house or vehicle, to secure the bond. Instead, we can secure the release using just a signature, basic employment history, and the standard Florida statewide fee of 10% or minimum of $100.00.
What information do I need to get a bail bond started?
To start the bond, we need the defendant's full name, arrest location or the jail holding them. From the person signing the bond, we simply need a valid photo ID, basic employment information, and the Florida state-required 10% premium payment. Call us at 352-343-6090 with these details, and we handle the rest.
Do you help with felony and shoplifting cases?
Yes, we provide fast bail bonds for shoplifting, retail theft, and grand theft arrests in Lake County. We post bond at the Lake County jail in Tavares and the South Lake substation in Clermont. Because many shoplifting charges are misdemeanors, we can typically secure your loved one's release using a signature bond with no collateral required. We work quickly to bring them home.
Do you serve all of Lake County?
Yes, our licensed bondsmen serve all of Lake County, Florida. We provide 24/7 bail bonds for arrests in Tavares, Clermont, Mount Dora, Eustis, Leesburg, Groveland, Lady Lake, Minneola, and Sorrento. Because our main office is in Tavares, we can post bonds at the Lake County Detention Center immediately.
