City and vertical
New York City bail work exists inside a narrower post-reform market: DFS bail-agent licensing, CPL securing orders, bail posting, premium and collateral records, and borough court context. Bail Core structures that workflow without overstating market size.
Quick answer
Bail Core is Butler Solutions' bail workflow software surface for New York City licensed bail-agent work. It supports defendant records, bond files, indemnitor and cosigner records, premium and collateral notes, court-date context, document workflow, follow-up visibility, audit-oriented operations, and migration from Captira, BailBooks, eBail, or Simply Bail. NYC fit depends on New York DFS bail-agent licensing, Insurance Law Article 68, CPL Article 510 securing orders, CPL Article 520 bail posting and forms, CPL Article 530 orders of recognizance or bail, CPL Article 540 forfeiture context, borough-specific court operations, and the post-2019 bail reform environment. Bail Core does not decide whether bail is legally available, file DFS licensing materials, post into court systems, or replace counsel or agent review. It gives operators a structured record where licensed bail work remains. Pricing is $99, $149, $199, or custom by user count, with a 3-month free trial, founding cohort discount, design partner path, and migration support.
Bail Core in New York City
This page is intentionally more cautious than legacy bail-software pages. New York permits licensed bail-agent activity, but reform narrowed the market compared with older commercial bail states.
Bail Core treats NYC bail law and court operations as practitioner-reviewed workflow context. It does not decide whether monetary bail is available for a case or replace agent, court, or counsel review.
New York City regulatory landscape
NYC bail software has to account for licensed bail-agent work, borough court context, DFS oversight, and New York's post-reform pretrial-release rules.
New York regulates bail agents through DFS and Insurance Law Article 68. Bail Core can track license-review context, documents, responsible staff, premium notes, collateral notes, and surety context without filing licensing materials.
CPL Articles 510, 520, and 530 frame securing orders, bail forms, and recognizance or bail orders. Bail Core can keep statutory references and court context visible while practitioners review availability and procedure.
NYC bail workflow can involve borough-specific court, defendant, family, indemnitor, and document realities. Bail Core can separate borough and court context in the bond file without claiming direct court-system integration.
CPL Article 540 forfeiture context requires disciplined status tracking, notice review, assignment, and document handling. Bail Core supports operational follow-up; legal timing and strategy remain practitioner-reviewed.
Workflow specificity
Bail Core's NYC workflow framing focuses on licensed bond work where it remains available: bond files, indemnitor communication, court dates, documents, and audit visibility.
Bail Core keeps defendant details, court, borough, bond amount, premium notes, collateral notes, surety context, indemnitor, cosigner, and review status tied to the bond file.
New York bail reform means availability must remain counsel and agent reviewed. Bail Core can record case context and review status; it does not decide whether bail can be set.
Bail Core supports court-date tracking, follow-up tasks, notice review, document storage, and status notes. It does not automatically calculate every CPL Article 540 consequence.
Bail Core supports indemnitor records, contact notes, payment context, collateral references, and related documents so staff can review the active relationship around each bond.
NYC operators moving from Captira, BailBooks, eBail, or Simply Bail can use the Bail Core trial period for a parallel run. Imported defendants, bonds, indemnitors, court dates, payments, notes, and active statuses are reviewed before cutover.
Pricing and programs
Bail Core uses Butler's uniform pricing structure: Starter at $99 per user per month, Small Team at $149 per user per month, Firm at $199 per user per month, and custom pricing above 25 users.

Migration fees are credited back as platform credit after 6 months of paid subscription.
New York City Bail Core FAQ
