Whether you re trying to bail yourself out of jail, or you re trying to get one of your friends out of jail, you re going to want to deal with professionals. That s primarily because the amounts of money involved are going to seem astronomical when you first start looking at the bail bonds process. Most people don t have the kind of money to just put down thousands of dollars a soon as their friend asks them too, so the bail bonds process needs to be taken seriously by everyone involved.
Now the first thing you re going to want to do is to phone up a bail bond agency, but not just any old agency. You need to find one that s built up a strong reputation of getting people out of jail and not messing around with people s money. There s this stereotypical image of a grumpy bondsman sitting behind a desk, waiting for clients to come in and then tearing them to pieces. Fortunately, this isn t the case, but there are definitely people to avoid. Try to make sure you re going for a team of people, rather than just a one or two man operation, because if a company has hired a team of people, it means they re being successful and business is going well. If business is going well, it s pretty likely that they re very good at their jobs. If you find yourself dealing with one guy on the end of the phone, you ve probably made the wrong decision. You want to deal with a company that s putting a friendly face to their business. Whether they re being sincere or not doesn t really matter, the point is that they care enough about their reputation that they want to do a good job.
There are a few things to look for in a bondsman. One is their appearance. The bail bond industry is a professional industry and all bail bondsman need to act and look as such. Two, check out their license and see if there are any infractions on it. In many states, the bail bond business is regulated by the department of insurance. They all will likely have an online license check just for consumers for this purpose. If there are any infractions, ask your potential bondsman about them. Three, a good bail bondsman will take the time to explain the entire process to you. There are obligations that you will want to know about. There is liability involved and you must know what you are getting into.
If you know of anyone else that may have used a bail bond agency in the past, pick up the phone and call them. Talk to them about their experience and try and find some honest reviews of the people that you might be dealing with. You don t have to know every little detail, you just need to know that the company is professional and doesn t need to rip you off in order to succeed. As always, there is no better opinions then firsthand experience.
