Q. What do I need to look for in a Bail Bonding Agency?
A. When looking for the right bail bondsman, make sure you choose one who is licensed in the state to where you are looking. You can confirm the licensing status of whom you chose by checking with the licensing agency in your state that licenses bail bondsman; in California it is the California Department of Insurance.
Also, you may want to check with the Better Business Bureau to see if the company has a good reputation, the B.B.B. is a great source for consumer feedback.
Q. I have found a bail bonding company, what can I expect to pay?
A. The Bail Premium is the cost of the Bail Bond and may vary from state to state. Here in California the bail premium is 10%. In some cases you may qualify for a rebate of up to 30% off. Check with your Bail Agency to see what rebates you may qualify for!
Q. Will I need Collateral?
A. Possibly, larger companies will only require collateral if the charges dictate it. Most Bail Bonds can be written with signatures only, meaning guaranteed by the credit or job history of the signer. If the charges are serious enough tangible collateral may be required as security of the bail bond.
Q. Can a Bail Bondsman give me legal advice?
A. Depends, here in California a Bail Bondsman cannot act as attorney and in doing so is committing a crime.
