The numbers that matter
Four numbers. They've held since the Reagan administration.
Continuously bonding clients out since 1988.
A licensed agent answers within ten seconds, day or night.
The state-set rate. No surprise fees, no hidden percentages.
From phone call to walking out the jail door, in most counties.
The process — three steps
Most clients move from "we just got the call" to "they're home" inside one shift. The whole timeline below is what happens between the call and the release — and most of it is jail processing, not paperwork on our end.
Tell us the defendant's full name and the jail or county. We pull the booking record while you're still on the line.
Average pickup: under 10 seconds. Live agent — never an answering service.
You pay the 15% premium (cash, card, wire, or financing). We sign as surety and post the full bail amount with the jail.
Most paperwork is finished in under twenty minutes — in person or e-signed.
The jail confirms the bond, processes the release, and your loved one is on their way home. We text you the moment they're released.
Total time from call to release: typically 2 to 4 hours.
That's the whole engagement. No retainer. No subscription. No surprise fees.
Statewide coverage — every Colorado county

Why Express
Most bondsmen advertise speed. We do too. But the four things below are the ones we'll never compromise — even at 3 a.m. on a holiday.
We are a licensed Colorado surety company — every bond is written by an in-house agent, never sub-contracted to a stranger.
Same Denver office, same family operation. The number you call today is the number a client called in 1991.
We never list client names, never disclose case details, and never share your information beyond what the court requires.
We text reminders before every court date and call you the morning of. Missed court dates are the leading cause of forfeiture — we work hard to make sure that doesn't happen to you.
Questions before the call
Bail bonds are simpler than they look. The 12 answers below cover almost every question we hear — but if yours isn't here, calling is free, and we don't charge for advice.
By state law, the premium for a surety bond is 15% of the bail amount. On a $5,000 bond, that's $750. The premium is the bondsman's fee — it is fully earned the moment we post the bond and is not refundable, even if the case is dismissed. We do not add hidden fees on top of the 15%.
From the moment you call us, the typical timeline is two to four hours in metro counties and four to eight hours in outlying counties. Most of that is jail processing, not paperwork on our end. We start the bond before you arrive, so the moment your portion is signed, we can be at the window posting it.
Just the defendant's full legal name, date of birth if you have it, and the city or county where they were arrested. If you don't have all of it — call anyway. We can pull the booking record from the jail system in seconds.
Yes, on most bonds. We tailor financing to the situation — a down payment, then weekly or bi-weekly installments. Anyone with steady income, a verifiable address, and willingness to sign as a co-signer typically qualifies. We discuss this on the phone before any paperwork.
Cash, all major credit and debit cards, wire transfer, certified check, and Zelle. We do not require cash — credit cards are equally welcome and incur no surcharge.
The court issues a bench warrant and the bond is set for forfeiture. You then have a statutory window to surrender the defendant or rebook them. We aggressively work that window — court reminders, address verification, family outreach — to keep forfeiture from happening. In 37 years of operation, our forfeiture rate is well under 1%.
Yes. We never publish client names, never confirm a bond was written for a specific person to anyone outside the court system, and only release case information when legally required (e.g., a subpoena). The fact that you called us is not public.
Often, yes. We e-sign paperwork, take payment over the phone, and post the bond with the jail directly. You'll receive a copy of the indemnitor agreement, the court reminder schedule, and a release notification by text — all without leaving your home.
The co-signer guarantees the defendant will appear at every court date. If the defendant fails to appear and we cannot recover them within the statutory window, the co-signer is liable for the full bail amount — not the 15%, but the full face value of the bond. We are extremely transparent about this before anyone signs.
Yes. We're a Colorado-licensed surety in all 64 counties. In counties more than two hours from Denver, we use a vetted local correspondent agent — but you call the same number, pay the same 15%, and the bond is written on our paper.
A PR bond is a written promise to appear, with no money posted. A surety bond requires posting bail through a bondsman like us. Judges set the type at first appearance. If a PR is granted, you do not need us — and we'll tell you that on the phone, for free, before you've signed anything.
Yes — twenty-four hours a day, every day of the year, including Christmas morning, Thanksgiving night, and 3 a.m. on a Tuesday. A licensed agent answers every call. There is no answering service, no chatbot, and no callback queue.
