How bail is set after a Monroe arrest
After booking, the person goes before a magistrate, usually within a few hours. The magistrate reads the charge and sets conditions of release. For most charges that means a secured bond, a dollar amount that must be posted before release. Some people get an unsecured bond or a written promise to appear and walk out without paying. Domestic violence charges are different: a judge, not a magistrate, must set conditions, which can take up to 48 hours. Domestic violence bail bonds.
Once a secured bond is set, you have two choices. Pay the full amount in cash to the court, or hire a bondsman and pay a premium of up to 15 percent. Champion posts the full bond with the jail on your behalf.

What our Monroe clients pay
You pay a percentage of the bond, called the premium. North Carolina caps it at 15 percent. It is not refunded when the case ends, but it is a fraction of the full cash bond the court would otherwise require. We split it into a down payment and installments for families who qualify.
| Bond set by the court | Maximum premium | Full cash bond |
|---|---|---|
| $1,000 | $150 | $1,000 |
| $5,000 | $750 | $5,000 |
| $10,000 | $1,500 | $10,000 |
