Family-Owned · Licensed in Florida Since 1984
A real family answers the phone — every time.
Emilio Faroy has been writing bail bonds in Miami since 1984, and he still answers the phone himself. Gabriell Salgado, our vice president, has been with Faroy since 2015 and is a licensed bail bondsman.
When you call, you reach a licensed agent directly — not a call center, not a voicemail service, not an after-hours pager. That is the whole reason families and defense attorneys keep our number.
About the Faroy family →Arrested Tonight?
Here’s what actually happens next.
The first thing we ask is simple: how long ago was the arrest?
Before anyone can be bonded out, they have to be processed and booked into the Miami-Dade jail system. Booking can take several hours, and the bond information may not be available while it is still in progress. That is normal — and it is the part almost nobody explains to families.
We will tell you honestly where things stand, what we can start on right now, and when the next real update should come. If someone promises you an immediate release before the person has even appeared in the system, be careful.
How It Works
Three steps. One phone call away.
- 01
Call us
Speak directly with a licensed agent. We listen, answer questions, and explain exactly what happens next.
- 02
We post the bond
A short, secure agreement — in person, by phone, or remotely. We handle the paperwork at the jail.
- 03
Released home
Your loved one is processed for release. We stay available through every step that follows.
Miami-Dade Every Day
TGK, Metro West, PTDC — the buildings we work in.
We post bonds at Turner Guilford Knight (TGK) almost every day, and we work regularly with Metro West and the Pre-Trial Detention Center. That daily routine is why we can tell you what each facility expects on the paperwork, how to check whether someone has been booked yet, and what the next step looks like at that specific jail.
Our office is at 1330 SW 22nd Street, Suite 307 in Miami. What matters is not how close a bondsman parks to the jail — it is whether the person who answers knows the building, the paperwork, and the process inside it.
No Guesswork
How we post a bond — and how you check it yourself.
- We review the case first. We look at the charge and the bond, and we explain the premium and whether any collateral is needed before you sign anything.
- We prepare and post the bond. In person, by phone, or remotely — we handle the paperwork at the jail.
- You can confirm it yourself. In the Miami-Dade inmate system, the record moves from “Bond Submitted: No” to “Bond Submitted: Yes” once the bond is in. We show you where to look, and we give you the jail’s own contact information, so you never have to just take our word for it.
- We stay reachable. Phone and text, through release and through what comes after.
The Honest Answer
How long until they come home?
We will not hand you a number we do not control.
After a bond is posted, Miami-Dade release processing can still take several hours and sometimes longer. The jail—not the bondsman—controls the final release timeline.
What we do control is how quickly the bond is prepared and posted, and how well you are kept informed while you wait. Any bondsman who guarantees you a release time is promising something that is not theirs to promise.
Plain Numbers
What a bail bond costs in Florida.
Florida state bonds: The premium is 10% of each bond amount, with a $100 minimum premium per bond. That means a Florida state bond under $1,000 still carries the $100 minimum premium. Under Florida law, each charge or offense requiring bail has its own separate bond, so premiums are calculated separately for each bond.
Example: If someone has two separate Florida state bonds—one for $5,000 and another for $100—the premiums are $500 and the $100 minimum, for a total premium of $600. Each charge or offense requiring bail has its own bond, so the premium is calculated separately for each bond.
Federal bonds: Federal bond premiums are generally 15% of the bond amount.
Premium and collateral are not the same thing. The premium is the bondsman’s fee for posting the bond. It is earned once the defendant is released, is generally not refundable, and is separate from any collateral the case may require. Collateral is separate security that may be required depending on the case, and it is generally held until the bond is discharged and the surety’s liability ends — not just until the first court date. When collateral is returned, it is returned in accordance with your collateral agreement and any applicable lawful expenses.
Florida bail bond rates are filed with and approved by the state, so the premium cannot be higher or lower than the approved rate — not by us, not by anyone. If a bondsman offers you a cheaper premium, treat it as a warning sign, not a bargain.
Payment arrangements may be available for qualified clients, subject to approval and applicable requirements. We accept credit and debit cards.

Beyond the Routine Case
Federal cases, transfers, and complicated bonds.
We write Florida state and federal bonds. Federal premiums are generally 15%.
When a court requires a Nebbia hearing — a review of where the bond money came from — we have experience gathering and organizing the source-of-funds documentation and coordinating that package with your attorney. Faroy Bail Bonds is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Your attorney handles what is argued and filed in court.
We also coordinate transfer bonds outside Miami-Dade and out-of-state bonds through our surety network, where the jurisdiction and the case allow.
Hablamos Español
The whole process, in Spanish.
Emilio and Gabriell are native Spanish speakers. The first call, the explanation, the paperwork, the updates while you wait — all of it can be handled in Spanish, by the same people who will be handling the bond.

Straight answers in plain English.
How much does a bail bond cost?
Florida state bonds: the premium is 10% of each bond amount, with a $100 minimum premium per bond — so a Florida state bond under $1,000 still carries the $100 minimum. Example: if someone has two separate Florida state bonds — one for $5,000 and another for $100 — the premiums are $500 and the $100 minimum, for a total premium of $600. Each charge or offense requiring bail has its own bond, so the premium is calculated separately for each bond. Federal bonds: federal bond premiums are generally 15% of the bond amount. The premium is non-refundable.
Does the defendant have to see a judge before bonding out?
In many Florida cases the bond amount is already set by the bond schedule during booking, and the bond can be posted without waiting for a first court appearance. Some charges are treated differently — domestic violence among them — and require a judge to address bond first. Because this depends on the charge and the case, ask us when you call, and speak with a defense attorney for legal advice about a specific case.
How fast will my loved one be released?
After a bond is posted, Miami-Dade release processing can still take several hours and sometimes longer. The jail—not the bondsman—controls the final release timeline. What we can do is prepare and post the bond quickly and keep you updated while you wait.
Do you write immigration bonds?
No. Faroy Bail Bonds does not write immigration or ICE bonds. We handle criminal state and federal bonds only. If you need immigration bond assistance, we can refer you to a trusted specialist.
Do you take payment plans?
Payment arrangements may be available for qualified clients, subject to approval and applicable requirements. Call us and we will explain exactly what applies to your case.
How will I know the bond was actually posted?
The Miami-Dade inmate record changes from “Bond Submitted: No” to “Bond Submitted: Yes.” We show you where to check and give you the jail's contact information so you can confirm it independently.
Do you speak Spanish?
Yes — Emilio and Gabriell are native Spanish speakers, and the entire process can be handled in Spanish.
My family already called another bondsman. Is that a problem?
It can be. When several relatives hire different bondsmen for the same person, it creates duplicate paperwork and confusion at the worst possible moment. Pick one agency and let them coordinate.
Faroy Bail Bonds provides bail bond services and general information. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice. Court, jail, and release procedures vary by case.
