Once an individual is formally charged, they have a right to bail. The law in Louisiana is 10% plus additional 2% and bond fees charged by the sheriff's office. Bail can only be withheld for 72 hours, unless it is greater circumstances such as flight risk.

In some instances, judges have to set the bail amount. This may take a day or two. Call us at 1-866-624-BAIL to see if we can help you!
