Free Consultation With an Experienced Bail Bondsman
What You Should Ask of Your Bondsman
The bondsman should be highly dependable. Choosing a bondsman that is easy to get a hold of can make a world of difference. You will have an array of questions and there will be language and terms you have never been exposed to. Your bondsman should be available to answer your questions and to help you understand every aspect of a bail bond. You should not have to be waiting in suspense for returned calls or the answers you need. The same goes for checking the status of your loved one’s bail case; you should not have to be calling over and over again to find out if it has been paid by the bonding company. The bondsman should tell you when your loved one will be released from jail or prison or at least consistently informing you of the status.
The bondsman should be courteous and professional. Choosing a bondsman who knows how to treat clients well will certainly put your mind and emotions at ease, which is very important since having to purchase a bail bond involves a highly emotionally distressing situation. A bondsman should always treat you with the utmost respect and dignity. The bondsman should never show signs of judging the accused. A bondsman should always maintain a professional distance from the details of your loved one’s accused crim.
A bondsman should be able to explain the details of your loved one’s bail and the legal requirements of your loved one after he or she is released on bail. A bondsman should explain thoroughly all details and parameters of the bond and that your loved one is required to attend all of his or her trials and court hearings after being released on bail. Fees and conditions should be discussed up front before papers are signed.
A bondsman should let you know how much money you are entitled to pay and how much of it is refundable. Normally ten percent of the total bail amount is the fee for the bail bond company fronting the rest of the bail amount.
