5 Questions to Getting a Great Bail Bonds Company

By Smyke Gratila


Receiving a phone call from a loved one who has been arrested can lead to a feeling of panic. Those faced with this experience may endure the high anxiety of being responsible for finding the fastest way to free their loved ones from serving jail time.

Aside from saving their loved ones from the trauma of being contained in a jail cell, being held in custody for long lengths of time can cause great hardships for families. If in school, the accused can miss necessary schooling, which can affect his or her overall scholastic success. If working, he or she can miss work and in result can lose his or her job.

These companies take charge of the whole matter and the family members of the convicted people under crime charges do not have to try and figure out the complexities of posting bail on their own. The bondsmen simply ask for detailed information about the crime and try to get bail through proper means and sources, so the person may be released from jail while awaiting court dates and trials.

Bail is a promise in the form of a set sum of money, used to assure that the defendant returns to court at a pre-determined date and time. A bail amount is typically anywhere from a thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, depending on the infraction.

Are you licensed? This is quite an obvious question but this wouldn't be a great article if I didn't put it in. Bail bondsmen are licensed by the California Department of Insurance. Go there. Check out the license status. Dealing with a bail bondsman that does not have a license is like getting a heart transplant from the local newspaper boy. Enough said. How fast can you get my friend (or family member) out of jail? Any bail bond company that gives you an exact time-frame for a defendant's release is probably giving you a line to close the deal. Bondsman can control when they get their portion of the release process complete, but they cannot control the jail system. Jails operate on a safety-first basis. Flow of people and processes is often slow and unpredictable at best. That said, an experienced bondsman should know the individual jails' normal processing times.
