Q: Do I need a cosigner to get a bail bond in Forsyth County?

In most cases, yes - a cosigner (also called an indemnitor) is required. The cosigner is someone - usually a family member or close friend - who guarantees that the defendant will appear at all scheduled court dates in Forsyth County. If the defendant fails to appear, the cosigner may be responsible for the full bail amount. We explain the cosigner's role and responsibilities clearly before anyone signs anything. Call us and we will walk you through what is involved.

How It Works in Winston-Salem

What Happens After an Arrest in Forsyth County.

If someone you love has been arrested in Winston-Salem or anywhere in Forsyth County, here is what the process looks like : and where Barrino Bail Bonds steps in.

Step One

Arrest and Booking at the Forsyth County Detention Center

After an arrest in Winston-Salem or Forsyth County, the person in custody is transported to the Forsyth County Detention Center for booking. During booking, their personal information, fingerprints, and charges are processed and entered into the system. This typically takes several hours. A bail amount may be set by a magistrate at this stage for many common charges.

For some charges : including domestic violence : bail cannot be set by a magistrate. A first appearance before a judge is required. We can explain this when you call.

Step Two

Call Barrino Bail Bonds : We Find the Information You Need

Call us at 336-422-6190 as soon as you know someone has been arrested. You do not need to know the bail amount, the charge, or how the process works : we handle all of that. All we need to start is the full legal name of the person in custody, their date of birth, and confirmation that they are at the Forsyth County Detention Center. We pull the rest directly from the facility.

You can call before bail is even set. We will monitor the case and contact you the moment bail is established.

Step Three

We Review the Bond and Walk You Through the Agreement

Once bail is set, we explain the bond amount, the premium, and any conditions attached to the bond in plain language : no legal jargon, no pressure. We review payment options with you and answer every question before a single document is signed. We do not rush this step because we understand how much is riding on the decisions made here.

Most families complete this step over the phone in under 15 minutes.

Step Four

We Post the Bond at the Forsyth County Detention Center

Once the agreement is in place, we move immediately to post the bond. We coordinate directly with the Forsyth County Detention Center, submit the required paperwork to the Forsyth County Clerk of Court, and confirm the bond is accepted. We stay in contact with you throughout this step and let you know the moment the bond has been posted.

Step Five

Your Family Member Is Released and Comes Home

After the bond is posted, the Forsyth County Detention Center processes the release. Release times at the facility vary depending on booking volume and staffing at the time of the bond posting. We remain available throughout the release process and contact you when your family member is out. We also make sure you understand the court date conditions and what is expected going forward.

The defendant must appear at all scheduled court dates in Forsyth County. Missing a court date will result in bond forfeiture.

Bail Bond Costs in Winston-Salem

Transparent Pricing. No Hidden Costs.

In North Carolina, bail bond premiums are regulated by the NC Department of Insurance : not by individual bondsmen. The fee you pay is established by state law, not by negotiation. When you call us, we tell you the exact cost upfront before you commit to anything.

The premium is typically 15 percent of the total bail amount set by the judge. This fee is non-refundable once the bond is posted. For a $10,000 bail amount, the bondsman premium is approximately $1,000 to $1,500 : the remainder of the bail is guaranteed by the bond itself, not paid in cash.

We understand that families are rarely financially prepared when an arrest happens. That is why we offer flexible payment arrangements and low down payment options for qualifying families. Call us to discuss : there is no obligation, and no cost to ask.

Bond Premium Rate Set by NC Department of Insurance
