When a court sets bail, Clear Path Bail Bond steps in as your surety — guaranteeing the full bail amount so your loved one can be released quickly, without your family having to pay the entire sum upfront.
No one plans for a call like this. When it happens, you don't have to face it alone — our team is ready to help, day or night.
When someone is arrested, a judge or magistrate sets a bail amount required for release. Paying that full amount out of pocket isn’t realistic for most families. That’s where a surety bail bond comes in.
As a licensed bail bond agency, ClearPath Bail Bonds acts as a surety — we guarantee to the court that the full bail amount will be paid if the defendant fails to appear for their court dates. In exchange, you pay us a smaller, non-refundable premium (typically a percentage of the total bail, as set by South Carolina law). This allows your loved one to be released without the family carrying the full financial burden.
A judge or magistrate determines the bail amount based on the charges and circumstances of the case.
Call us with the details you have. We'll walk you through the premium cost and what's needed to move forward.
Once approved, our team completes the required paperwork and posts the surety bond with the court or detention facility on your behalf.
We stay available to answer questions throughout the process — from posting the bond to understanding what happens after release, including court date obligations.
We operate as a fully licensed surety bail bond agency under South Carolina regulations.
No hidden fees — we explain the premium cost and any payment options clearly, upfront.
Familiarity with South Carolina courts and detention facilities means a smoother, faster process.
We don't disappear after the bond is posted — we're available if questions come up along the way.

With cash bail, the full amount is paid directly to the court and refunded (minus fees) once the case concludes. With a surety bail bond, you pay a smaller, non-refundable premium to a licensed bondsman, who guarantees the full amount to the court on your behalf.
South Carolina law generally sets bail bond premiums between 10% and 15% of the total bail amount. We'll confirm the exact cost for your specific case before you commit.
Missing a court date can result in the bond being forfeited and a new warrant issued for the defendant's arrest. It's important to attend every scheduled court appearance.
Depending on the bond amount and case details, collateral may be requested to secure the bond. We'll explain whether this applies to your situation.
Yes. We remain available to answer questions about court dates, bond conditions, or the overall process, even after your loved one has been released.
